RE: How to Practice (in reply to ToddK)

Interesting how 'individual' different players' practice philosophies seem to be. I don't really relate to your idea of thinking/focusing? I start consciously i.e. work through a range of techniques - rasgueado, picado, tremolo etc - starting slowly, then trying a few pieces... but it's AFTER this that there's some take-off into a SUBconscious/Unthinking phase - this is where I often surprise myself by playing really fluently. Like Ricardo says, it's then you feel like carrying on...until eventually the muse or inspiration leaves. PS as someone else suggested, this doesn't always happen! Often the creativity/inspiration tank is a bit dry, and, although I may noodle away for a bit, I generally don't persist very long (just treat the practice session as a 'hi, touching base, but not got much to say today' conversation with a friend).
