Gigs ruin my chops
funny though, if i don't play enough gigs, i suck on those too. maybe i just suck and that's all there is to it?
comments?
There are 4 comments, leave a comment.
also it is that gigs tend to be digital piano's and those always mess up my technique to some extent well because they just are not piano's.
there should be fine grad pianos everywhere.
no it is not you who sucks.... life sucks.... oh well it will be over
soon enough.
good points about the type of gigs and digital pianos. i feel better. thanks:)
so what would happen is that i'd get good at what i was playing but never break new ground, and in the end, my chops and such would suffer for it.
now that i gig once or twice a week at the most, i put in lots of practice time and my chops are always growing.
