There are so many things. But most powerful is Jam with pro musicians. Sometimes the Pro musicians can make me so happy that worth it all my practicing.
Love and unite people with different understandings.
I feel great, probably the best way to see where I am when I playing.
It is a big question. Most of the musicians they play but they don't have a good timing. Probably timing will be the best thing to improve.
Difficult to say, before hours I jumped in.
Playing with not good musicians.But open to help them and to go straight to the point and to fix the issue.
no to much
Always we have to push the things to get the results. Today without plan and goals is difficult to work.
