Guitar Player Ready

Guitar Player Ready Although I am a guitarist and teacher, I recently seem to have now a little 'out of my practice routine. Previously, it was so that I practice at least two hours a day, and sometimes very, very longer.It 's really hard for this very reason, the progressive change in behavior. I could do to the fact that I have some nerve damage in my elbow with my left arm and hand hurt when I play the guitar in those days. Or maybe it is because I am only on my site, write blog, teaching guitar, and the care of other responsibilities that it is difficult to find a guitarist time.As there is really no excuse. Subside on my guitar practice is why it was captured by the not too long ago, when I received a request to play for a local radio program. The call came one evening while I was in the middle, the guitar lessons. I normally do not answer the phone during this time, but for some reason, I have. E 'was the producer of the radio program. I was told that had my name for another musician, I know. He had leaed that I am a guitarist and asked me if I would be willing to play a little 'of "Spanish" guitar for an air show in the next day. He said that it would be something special and that he only needs about 30 seconds of music.Well, my students in the music room waiting for me, so I told him I am back for him. After the lesson was, I began to rationalize why I could not play guitar for this man to the radio show. After all, he does not really believe me enough, and I ", the guitarist," not only was ready. I did not even know what kind of Spanish music, which he had in mind, or where I had my Spanish music. He probably wanted to flamenco music, however, I had not played any of that for a po 'di tempo. Also, my arm was very annoyed and I ... When my husband at home, I told him about the call. He thought that I should do. I agree, at least if I could see that the music can be appropriate for the show. We went into the music room and started paging through my books. After a few minutes, I finally found something I used to know. Implementation of the notes on the music stand, reluctantly, I pulled my guitar and began to plunk through the material. After a short period of time, the pieces were starting to come together and actually sound pretty decent. We decided to time what I had together. Just 30 seconds! So I called the producer back and it was decided to hear what I had to offer. I told him I thought it would be better for him to take the final decision, as if I was the guitarist wanted for its production or not. The next day came and took me to take one! This was a great relief.I think a little 'things can be leaed from this experience.
