The sleep thing is your diffused mind. It is talked about in the book a mind for numbers (it is good for way more than just math). I highly recommend the book
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. Had not given much thought to the sleep andd closing of eyes. Definetly the speed bumps have helped me when struggling with a solo. When I first discovered it by acident by playing a song between 110% -120% speed for a bit (I use Guitar Pro to sometimes learn songs),and admittedly verly slopply, it felt like a miracle when I could then play it quite well at 100%! haha In regard to the idea of sweet spots, I have usually found sometimes just taking a break after 5 minutes of practice and then coming back later that day or even after practicing something else for a little way in that same session, that there is some improvement when returning to what I had hit a plateau with. Not always but invariably the brain just seems to need to take a break from it to let it sink in. Anyway, enough rambling. Keep up the awesome work with the videos!
Not like that 😆 eyes are a ‘higher order function’ - they are processed in the most advanced part of our brain. 🧠 the part that takes the most energy to run and the part that is significantly less developed in most other animals.
i don't think you've set up your microphone correctly, i can hear alot of static and i think your gain is extremely high up, you must be using a weird audio interface or something
Actually, yes, theoretically. It is only anecdotal but a lot of the best musicians, with the most highly developed ear were blind. Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Doc Watson, Andrea Bocelli

That sounds super interesting, I’m excited to check it out :-)
Interesting thoughts.

Thank you! It sounds like you stumbled on a lot of these on your own 😊 thank you for sharing your practice journey
I didn't know our eyes didn't evolve until "Later"... were we like earth worms?

Makes perfect sense turns out your eyes are your worst enemy 😂
Maybe not when you’re driving, but certainly when you’re playing guitar 😆

The quarter inch cable for the Guitar I’m holding isn’t plugged into the guitar. 🤦♂️
I'm blind so I guess I have an advantage? hahahah
