A perfect warm up idea love it

[@homerinchinatown2]

My favorite 'short practice' routine is to a) start the metronome at a different tempo than I used yesterday, b) start playing whatever comes to mind, and c) see what happens. My goals are to bury the click and pay attention. Within a minute or two, I almost always come across either something that's awkward/sucky that I want to improve or something that's cool that I want to reinforce and explore. Sometimes I have an agenda before sitting down (i.e. I haven't worked on thing x in a while, etc.) and so I dive right into that. I rarely get into ruts because there are so many things I need to both maintain and improve

So much good stuff in here, thank you for sharing! I'm a huge fan of the option of either having an agenda or just sitting down and seeing what comes out.

Love these ideas! The second one is reminiscent of Alan Dawson's "rudimental ritual" which is one of my favorite exercises to help with coordination. Great video.

That’s exactly what that’s from! One of the toughest things I’ve ever learned and I can say with 100% certainty that I could NOT play it all the way through right now 😂
