I only did that today and it took me 134 minutes
Worst is : Im not satisfied at all , I played poorly today
Well done for doing all that regardless of how well / badly you think it went. Some days are just like that but you’ll be a better player for showing up and doing it anyway. Tomorrow will (probably) be better (there’s no money back guarantee with this statement, sorry )
We all have bad days, but you can still get lots out of a bad day if you can identify, precisely, what it was about your playing that you didn’t like and use that as a focus for your next practice session. Oh, and write it down somewhere, you will forget half of what you felt if you don’t!
Cut yourself some slack, have a beer, relax, and come back tomorrow with a plan. Remember, you were still a better player today than you were a month, or certainly a year, ago.
thank you all for your nice replies
Oh I know what happened … Its entirely my own fault for not following my own advices
If I go out in the afternoon I should not play in the evening ! thats a fact !
I knew it and I still tried to play …
i was tired and got headaches , my mind was not clear and I was grumpy
Second mistake that I usually never do … never try to hard on a song … just play it once or twice at best … never more
I did not do that yesterday … Tried too hard , got frustrated , grumpier
the more I tried , the more time I spent , the more my hand got tired so I played poorly in the end
Today Im still not feeling well with headaches , and my hand is still tired so no guitar
Ill bake some Bakewell tarts instead
