Hmmmm musicians brain hmmmm. Well I think all you can do is keep pluging away at it, one thing I do is the parts that are a problem I focus on the week before a show. Hopefuly eliminating a mistake. I think the best thing you can do is your best. And make sure the set list is in an order that will give you confidence. I like the idea of recording, it's the best way to really analyze your own playing. I always practice my set lists in order as well so I get used to that certain set list. Always play what you know well and play it with energy, I think the trick is to always play a song with everything you've got even if you have played that song 5000 times. I for one take it all with a grain of salt, I mean here in Utah I am a great Flamenco player, on this forum I am baby food. I can even hack out some improv stuff and people think that it's Flamenco and they love it, maybe it's not traditional or puro but I am helping to spread the word of Flamenco none the less. I don't think there is a certain way to rehearse but there are ways of using commom sense when trying to make use of your time. Most of all have fun, cause were not all Pacos, and never will be so why kill our selves over it.[:)]
