@Sam Griffin So, I take a phrase (a MEC, if you will) and drill it until I can cleanly repeat it 5-7 times in a row. Like flawlessly. In fact, once I reach that point I usually make a couple more attempts at this challenge during the following practice sessions just to be sure. However, when I try and combine several of these chunks into a more lengthy piece, random errors start popping up. If I stop and do an individual MEC again, it goes fine, but the next time I chain them together another flaw appears. As a result, when I record myself, I only get a semi-decent take once in a blue moon, and the rest of the takes feel like me repeatedly flipping a coin for mistake/no mistake. That's what I mean by the lack of consistency. And the other thing might just be a result of my daily regimen. Like I want to practice after a hard day's work, but my body doesn't. IDK :)
