Last nights practice we focused on just a few songs. Shine by Collective Soul. Come Together by The Beatles and Learn To Fly by Foo Fighters. Learn to Fly and Shine are both new to me, in the sense, I’ve never played them before literally and mentally in my head. They are more complicated than I originally thought. We’ve been playing for about 2 months, but we tore them apart for the first time last night. I was playing most of the drumming very messy. Not really close to the original. Tony, the guitarist, knows his stuff and helped me figure out what was going on.
I’m just enjoying the hell out of this. Learning songs. Taking on challenges. It can be scary and frustrating, and especially embarrassing. But I’ve already proven to myself, I will get it. It just takes practice, practice, practice.
