An eloquent explanation of the physiological and psychological reasons for there being days when we can't play well, aside from brewer's droop of the finger.
The always worthwhile Dr Josh Turknett doesn't explain why I never played well, sadly.

That's a really interesting video walkingdecay and explains a lot of what is going on when we (or more likely just me) are thinking it's all just because my fingers are not working properly. It reminded me of another video that covered much of the same topic and that I found helpful. |

Josh's arrangements are really good - I've (nearly) learned a few of them and they're always fun/challenging to play.

lavaman Iain, you probably need to watch it regularly for at least an hour a day.

Flute is far worse. One day you can play beautiful notes that float on silvery air. The next day you get vaguely musical puffs of air teasing your ears. Then at the end you feel a drip on your foot, which just kind of sums it up.

Some days I'm just crap — maybe more than some. I've just had to learn to live with it!
