Letting Go with Writing and Improvisation

In this live lesson, I tackle the nuanced and tricky topic of how to practice growing your comfort zone to get into that mode where soloing feels effortless. I talked about Thinking Mode vs Feeling Mode and how important it is to deliberately hang out in one place or the other - one for performance, writing, soloing, and the other for detailed problem solving, deliberate and specific practice, and music theory clarification.

In my opinion, if you are deliberate about bouncing between these two modes, they'll gradually start to overlap, which lets to focus more clearly on the parts that aren't overlapping!
