I know the stone-cold challenge of being asked to read or transpose music on sight or on the fly
...or the panic of getting lost in an arrangement without the ears to find your way back.
I’ve felt the heat of trying to learn a lick in the moment but couldn’t get past the first couple of notes.
...or jumping into the middle of a song only to discover I was playing in a different key or was lost before I even knew it.
You haven’t learned new music for a long time because your process involves a lot of guesswork.
You don't read music very well so a lead sheet would be of little use and anyway, your ear couldn't tell you what's right.
Playing with your buds is fun even if you’ve been performing the same 15 tunes for the past ten years. You haven’t learned new music for a long time because your process involves a lot of guesswork. You suppose it’s the same for your bandmates since everyone seems content playing the same old favorites. You’d like to play more demanding music but it’s like finding your way in a strange new city—everything looks familiar, but it doesn’t take long to figure out you’re lost. You don't read music very well so a lead sheet would be of little use and anyhow, your ear couldn’t tell you if the chords were right or not. The truth of the matter is you’re stuck and getting bored even if you do alright with the band. “S’all good” you tell yourself.
