| Hello! Last week when i took a test where i played scales and arpeggios and stuff i got a total blackout. When the jury asked me to play Abm lokrian scale i just asked ; "on what key does it start?" I got a total blackout. My fingers where like sausages or dead fish. When i was to play a primavista tune I noticed only the first page of 2. I totally blocked the second page so when the band went over to the second page I stopped playing and wondered why the band was playing when the tune at end... I heard that this can be called tunnel seeing or something... Why did i flip out like this? I have never experienced anything like that, except sometimes when im suppose to know something and I donīt, Then my brain closes... sometime on my pianolessons.... martin | |

| It's probably nerves, and stage fright. Do you think that if it had been in a jam session you would have been ok? Say the bassist had said "yeah, man, just play the Ab locrian scale and you'll be great!", would you have been alright with it? | |
