1 Day Rome  Builder Bootcamp aka Build Rome in a Day Kit aka Rapid Rome Building Course

I want the whole thing to happen now. Trying to do it in one day. To sing perfect in a day, to achieve the target now, consciously. To program or arrange the song to perfection. (The general skill of arranging or that song in particular.)

It can't happen that way. Learning, skill improvement doesn't happen because I 'think it so'. This sort of learning does not happen in the conscious area. When i am playing a lead, a GM7 chord, i am not thinking of placing my fingers. I had to think about the fingers when i started, and there was no way from there to get to what i can do now, in a day.

If i know how to practice, what to practice (roughly), then keep practicing, keeping the body and mind relaxed, instead of trying to reach for goals in p erfection. Slowly over time, things get better.

I know this, still i have to remember to not let it hinder learning or skill development or creation.

Keep the distance

Deciding, especially when there are so many options, criteria, parameters, knobs, buttons, instruments… Instead of going ‘with the flow’ which may seem natural but is nothing more than habit and desperation before the need to decide from the plethora of options. Just another option paralysis.

Playing with guitar and singing to make music is easier because there are less parameters to decide on. Sitting before the sequencer with any number and type of instruments or arranging options to choose from, making decisions is so tough. so tough that one just keeps going with what is easy and habitual and end up dissatisfied

Stop, have a distance from the tool, decide before i do. That way, one can decide to do something new, even beyond ones easy skill level and work towards making what one has in mind, almost like transcribing someone else's work.
