Are you giving your best?
I hate to practice. It’s no secret, I’d rather be playing live with other musicians than sitting in a room playing with a recording, or working on scales and technique. Let’s face it, practice is boring and repetitive. It is, however, necessary. In order to build the skills needed to perform, you need to learn skills.
Simple, but boring.
Some of the things I do to spice it up is I’ll take a break and hit shuffle on my music player. then I play along with whatever pops up. Sometimes I’ll put on the TV and play along with the show and commercials, trying to change the feel of the scene.
What are some of the things you do to make practice easier?

When I’m tired I try new arrangements for songs I’ve already learned. Some cool stuffs have came out of those “break-time”
