I don't know, but would it be any easier if you had a back up "project" going on at the same time too, like learning another piece as well to give you some breaks from the intensity of concentrating on just the one piece, and if that one didn't come together that soon then maybe the second one would, still giving you a sense of achievement/perfectionism. Or would that be too much pressure??

I rarely learn just one thing at a time. I'm currently working on the Godfather theme tune, Air on G String, the Mario theme tune (don't ask hah) and a couple of other random bits and bobs. As long as I've got the tab' in-front of me, I don't have to worry about remembering, at least not at first, just more the "muscle-memory" part of it.

Have you have you already been putting your own stuff or some of the blues music you enjoy online, just thinking it might be a good starting point to ease you into putting harder pieces online??
|
I have already got a few on my Facebook page, some videos of which are public.

And if there are any "experts" out there, given the length of the tracks/pieces, then if 1%, 2% of them go wrong then their opinion is going to be so much more based on the 99%, 98% that went right.

Maybe, ... I'd like to think that way, but just look around on YouTube, and check out all the bumhats ridiculing talented musicians because they made mistakes. I know it's
their problem, but there are a lot of such people, and it is still off-putting.

I'm guessing you think that some of the videos are intimidating because some are really polished??
|
Pretty much. There are some ludicrously talented people out there, ... more gifted. I just have about 10 years, and I'm self-taught, ... not exactly a load of music school, or whatever else those lot are lucky enough to have.

And my guess is that you're going to be a lot better than those with your experience. So maybe not quite so intimidating....???
|
I see what you mean, ... I hadn't thought of it like that.
EDIT: Another problem of mine, is that because I learn quickly, I often find myself looking back at videos of me not so long ago, and knowing where I went wrong and more importantly:
knowing I can play it so much better,
now; it just makes me want to constantly keep recording new videos. I don't want someone to judge me by something that I can
now play better than the time for which they would be judging me. I know I overthink all this crap. I have no idea how I got into the habit of being so concerned about what people think of me my ability (or lack thereof), but alas, this is the way I am. -.-
