I was just saying… Yeah, i suck at words.

When i had trouble practicing a new piece, i would call one of my bandmates and practice it with him. If it didn’t work, we would just play something else to relieve stress. Sometimes, i would just call Jen and she would just listen to me practice.

It helped.

But we are from different backgrounds and i can sort of see how this may not be good advice… I’m sorry… i’m sticking my foot in my mouth, aren’t i?

No! You’re fine! I understand where you’re coming from. And if I was any good, I could do something like that. But it takes me so long to learn a piece. No one has the kind of patience it would take to hang out with me. Not for five hours of me slowly reading each note, line by line, and slowly memorizing it.

And I wouldn’t really want them to.
