The only thing I question is the analogy. One is a mental thing the other is physical. Given a 2-3 week time frame for both, I know that as an accomplished musician or even someone that plays chess, I wouldn't lose a thing if I took a break from playing. However as someone who frequents the gym 5-7 days a week, not going to the gym after 2 or three weeks makes it rough it when I go back. It feels like I never worked out a day in my life. I alternate between cardio workouts and light weights. Light weights and high repetitions in order keep these massive 17-inch biceps in tune. 😊 I don't have a video of me performing Bumble Bee but this version by Nick Arriondo, a true badass, is close to the kind of crap I played in competitions. Nick's 2 hands on the bass section is akin to a Van Halen tapping explosion, and his chromatic in unison runs with the piano section are very difficult. If I took 3 weeks off, I could still play this, but not with top precision. https://youtu.be/FxTOwXEy2Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does all 3 like 3 dimensional thought process but naturally.. He doesn't over exaggerate it..... He does basically what I taught myself to do.. Follow the notes.. Follow the path .. Follow your heart... And don't over think it.. Great post... Now watch Yuja Wang... I love the silent conversation she has with the instrument during the performance. They talk to each other...... Her point/Counter point skills are OFF THE FUCKING CHARTS!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
