It has been again a long time since my last blog entry. It has of course a reason. I was forced to slow things down because unpredicable health problems showed up and they put my career in danger. Since march 11 I suddenly have problems with both hands. Its not so bad that I can't play guitar anymore but still it is something I have to think about. I got several opinions what the cause might be of these problems. Till now there is no unique diagnosis. I personally believe that it is now time to slow down things. I have been working very hard in the past years and have some very difficult situations to deal with - also in my personal life and to be honest I always thought that it is a miricle that I always stayed healthy so I was able to do was had to be done. And now since I have finished everything and this constant pressure has reduced a lot now I could start to relax and now I have to pay the price for this phase which lasted 5 years. But as I said I can still play guitar, still make musc but I have to take care a bit till I get 100% healthy again.
I have already started with some changements.
I will focus on the important things in my work. This is teaching, composing and playing. No extra stuff anymore.
On playing I will work less on speed accuracy and virtuosity but on building a 100% connection with the instrument anytime. On piano I went through such a process many years ago where I faced similar problems but at the end I became a much better player then before. This will also happen now on guitar. My students might already noticed the changment in my teaching style. Everybody is learning this now. Building a true connection to the guitar to your feelings in music and your abilities to express and explore music on any level and any situation. This is my way, my path with I now truely started and I like it I must say. But I take it step by step. So stress anymore. Music is part of life and it will happen as life happens.
And yes this is another news in my personal life. I will start to learn how to life beside work. I never did it. Nows the time. But this is also music.
