Have you ever be told to “slow down” when you’re practicing something new?
I’ve been told a million times, and it used to always annoy me.
I never understood what others meant when they said pracitice “slow”.
I thought, compared to others I am going slow!
Besides, I have a thing for speed.
I’m always hungry for the rush I get when I’m drenched in rhythms played at a speed that equals my intensity.
That’s part of the fun!
And, let’s not forget the fact that my ego was insisting that I needed to sound great, as fast as I can!
There was a slight problem with this way of thinking.
If applied to practicing, it will eventually derail you.
If applied to practicing, it will be eventually become your biggest liability.
I never understood this until I read Kenny Werner’s book “Effortless Mastery: Liberating The Master Musican Within”.
Massive paradigm shift.
When nothing less than excellence will do, effortless mastery is the goal.
Not speed.
Not ego.
If you struggle to understand the depth of this concept, purchase this book.
It will change your outlook towards mastering your art form.
I get it now.
Count me in.
