Subject: RE: Improving at playing an instrument
It can't be defined, it has to be found. I can't offer you recipes-- only share things I know that may or may not apply in your situation, and you'll do your own thinking about your own situation.
Good Lord, tho, you don't BUY them all! (Or at least not just to try them out!) You try out others' instruments. At our jams there is a lot of gear-swapping during the breaks, and sometimes after the break you see several people keeping the one they are borrowing for the rest of the jam. At our jams, some folks bring sevral instruments, so at any given time there are a lot of them lying around idle.
If you try one like that and it seems to work for you, then you know it might be worth acquiring one to work with at home.
But yeah, try all of them!
