Boy, I make the greatest progress when I don't play!
I'm just sitting here working on a version of Bernadette that was just a total barrage of notes coming at me a few months ago.
I just fired it up again, and its so easy at this point. Well, so far anyway. I don't know if it was me working on some songs that made a few licks easier, or my mind working things out in the background while I'm not playing, but whenever I come back from one of these hiatuses (hiati?) some things just blossom.
