    Hi Simon! Hope all is well. How about a video teaching that guitar players should let loose? Because the trick is to practice the decent way, but the way we evolve as artists is to let go of the teachings and just enjoy what’s in our soul. That would be a cool video to see from you.

    I do a LOT of technique work, so there’s a great deal of sheer muscle-memory I can rely on. But what I DON’T do very often - at least on guitar - is to push myself out of my comfort zone, to play in that 20% zone you talked about. So that’s what I’ll be working on for the next few months.
