We all have that achilles heel. The thing that we hear in recording so fourself that we dont like. Mine is my intonation. I can be in tune, when I practice slowly and with intent. However I often hear videos of myself playing gigs and I cringe. I have improved a lot with it over the years, even in the last few months. It's always there in the back of my mind though and if I had a magic wand, that would perhaps be the first thing on my list. There is no magic wand, just practise, which thankfully I do often enjoy. I work on it in small ways all the time, annoyingly, the ear improves much quicker than your fingers so I'm always chasing the next milestone in my improvement. This is an issue that I think we can all relate to, regardless of our goals. Whats yours? Let us know in the comments. If you fancy a little help with your own goals, Im taking on a few more 1-1 students. You can get hold of my 1-1 coaching programme in the classroom. Its a package of lessons with me with details lesson reports and plans with the aim of helping you achieve what you want to in your own playing.

Hey there all you VIP members. Looking to book in our next transcription Lab next month. Let’s get it in the diary asap so people have time to get something down. These are a few dates and times I could do. (Remember if you are interested in joining and sharing or listening to others share a transcription/ solo that they have learned from another musician you can do so by joining the VIP tier. Prices go up tomorrow evening.)
