Interesting that you brought up Zen. The idea of concentrating on what one is doing at a given moment is an idea from Zen. I don't care what any teacher says, if you're doing two things at once, you're doing two things at once, and if you're concentrating on one thing at a time, you're concentrating on one thing at a time and nothing in the world can change that. Most people don't practice Zen 24 hours a day and sometimes one feels like doing two or more things at once. If one wants to do one's best work, one concentrates on a single thing. And if one wants to get better on the guitar, one goes home and practices, and that's what I'm going to do know.
