Dip

I'm in a dip

First it was a little step forward everyday. Now it seems my technique gets worse everyday.
And if that's not all. My i- fingernail was damaged. So picado is out of the question for the next weeks.

Although I know rationally (word too long, sorry Florian) it'll pass: Please help me out.

RE: Dip (in reply to koella)

this is very normal koella, you will have bad days it happens to everyone, to me usualy when my strings are really old and i have to put alot of force into playing and i hardly get any sound out and it sounds dead.

Watch a video or listen to a nice album to find inspiration

RE: Dip (in reply to koella)

look at it this way.

Maybe you have improved? you have gone up a littel bit in technique and thats why you notice slight errors and flaws.

just a thought

Hi Koella.

No worries. We al suck sometimes. We all have days where things don't work. It's in the mind. Keep up the good spirit and enjoy, and try to disconnect the brain a bit.
