A really very long time in the past on the classical guitar, I found that I might belief my arms to play the correct notes with absolute belief and the expectation that I couldn’t miss and didn’t. At that very fortuitous second I leapt throughout the neck of the guitar and hit the correct word with easy fearless precision, and I by no means went again to enjoying the guitar with out religion in my easy accuracy.
I NEVER PLAYED THE GUITAR AGAIN WITH FEAR OF MISSING THE NOTE OR NOTES I WANTED TO PLAY.
I by no means thought of what it was I used to be doing after I practiced the guitar after that revelation. I merely accepted I had found what the musical youngster prodigy did, however in my twenties.
So, what was it I did after I obtained religion in my enjoying? Did my observe change? Did I proceed to play after I lastly might play with out striving for what’s an inconceivable objective for many musicians?
What do I imply?
ALL CLASSICAL MUSICIANS WHO WANT TO BE GREAT CONCERT ARTISTS, WHO DO NOT EXIST IN THE EFFORTLESS PRECISION OF THE CHILD PRODIGY, ARE STRIVING NONSTOP FOR FLAWLESS PRECISION EVERY TIME THEY SING OR PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENT.
This nonstop striving is accepted as the one technique to observe. It’s handed on by most music lecturers, ESPECIALLY in conservatories.
Returning to what I used to be doing after I practiced after my revelation, what was it I used to be doing after I practiced after that time?
I WASN’T STRIVING ANYMORE!
What do I imply?
The first objective of observe for almost all of classical musicians is to enhance. It’s so baked into the performer that it’s normally beneath consciousness, and it’s accepted because the norm, inherent, a part of who the performer is.
So, impulsively, I DID NOT HAVE TO STRIVE ANYMORE BECAUSE I WAS EFFORTLESSLY EXTRAORDINARILY ACCURATE.
What was it I did from that second on after I practiced?
ALL OF MY ATTENTION WAS ON GETTING THE MUSIC INTO MY HANDS AND INTERPRETATION.
What does this imply?
IT MEANS I HAD CEASED TO BE IN A STATE OF NONSTOP STRIVING, OF BEING ALWAYS UNHAPPY WITH MY PLAYING, OF BEING UNHAPPY WITH ME!
This was TOO profound, and it meant I wasn’t going to proceed to observe with my new discovered fearless freedom on the guitar and restart my live performance profession.
Why?
Who I had change into by the point I used to be in my twenties was a nonstop perfectionist, somebody who was by no means happy with something I did, who was PROUD of my requirements that had been unattainable.
IF I WAS TO RETURN TO PRACTICING AND PERFORMING ON THE GUITAR IN A STATE OF JOY AND ACCEPTANCE OF MY EFFORTLESS ACCURACY, THEN EXACTLY HOW WAS I GOING TO KEEP THIS FROM THREATENING MY EGO?
I COULDN’T!
I actually should be terribly clear right here.
There isn’t a overlap while you go from enjoying an instrument with absolute easy religion in your capability to hit every word, and the standard working towards of TRYING NOT to ever miss a word.
The kid prodigy grows up and creates a persona that may stay with absolute religion in his or her arms or voice as a live performance artist, by compartmentalizing. This implies all the remainder of the prodigy’s life generally is a mess, even when the performer is basically enlightened on the instrument.
I grew to become a prodigy in my twenties, which is absolutely late. It meant my ego was not going to have something to do with my boastful, perfectionist, dissatisfied persona being threatened, so I didn’t proceed to observe or carry out after my revelation.
In closing, if I had chosen to face as much as my ego and stored working towards with supreme satisfaction, I presumably could be an enlightened being now.
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE. 🙂
