I was wondering, and although becoming a talented musician takes practice and dedication, sometimes things just "click". Of course, everyone has a bad day, sometimes whatever you play just sounds like shit, and you get pissed off after two hours of playing and stop for a day. Then you pick it back up the next day and play like a dream.
What I'm talking about is that sometimes you just hit a point in your playing where things just start to come together...all of a sudden. I literally woke up one day and was able to play speed metal. Granted, it wasn't that fast, but I've practiced and practiced for about 9 months and I'm pretty fast with my speed riffs. But what I noticed was that although I spent so much time on the guitar getting better, it never did anything until it just clicked one day. It didn't have to do with my practicing, because a day earlier I couldn't play it to save my life. I think that sometimes you might get stuck in a rut, and you can play and play and play, but until it passes on its own, yer stuck. For everyone, it's a matter of a slow buildup over time. But for me, that slow buildup sometimes doesn't go anywhere, and one day I just wake up and say, "I'm gonna play this song that I can't play", and I play it! Of course, it's not perfect, and THAT'S where the practicing comes in. I guess in my case I can get most of the parts down right off the bat, and a little practicing will pick up the fine tuning. It's almost like a rubber band; I practice and practice and practice, which stretches out the rubber band until it can't go any further. Just when I think it's going to break, I let go and it all pops inside, and I just get it...all of a sudden. Like in an hour. It's weird. Does anyone else have this experience?
