practice one THING

lately when i sit down to practice the guitar i try to practice ONE thing only. sometimes that seems like the act of a heroine! how can i possibly practice only one thing? there are so many youtube videos, online courses and books about playing jazz guitar. and it´s really a lot ! so much information, even so i have been playing the guitar for quite some while it never seems to stop.

but i know if i finally sit down with my guitar and just play, that´s happiness for me. maybe i don‘t even need an amplifier. and no smartphone too! i pick one little thing. it could be two chords. or a line. or maybe the melody of a standard and i try to play that.

and then i am sort of waiting for that feeling. i play the same thing over and over again. waiting for that feeling. ah now there it is.. all of a sudden it feels a tiny bit easier to play that thing that i am practicing at the moment. and then i know that´s a good practice session today.

i get up and make myself a cup of coffee.
