Practise Diaries — post your check-in here 📔
This is your spot to log what you're working on, whenever you practise. No pressure to post daily, just whenever you've had a session and want to note it down or share it. It could be something you've been working on, in your own time or with lessons with me. Anyone in here can post! Comment below with: 📅 Date: 🎻 What I worked on: ⏱️ Time practised: 🎉 One win: 🤔 One thing I'm stuck on: Doesn't need to be polished. A quick video or voice note works just as well if you'd rather show than write. I'll be dropping my own practise notes in here too, not just replying to yours. And if you've got a spare minute, leave a comment on someone else's check-in as well. Even just a "nice work" will help us all feel motivated to keep on keeping on! Drop your first check-in below 👇

New experience
Ok i must share this. Today in the morning i posted couple of videos at jazz fb site in Vienna And i wanted play with somebody. French guy wrote me And invited me for the gig. I played couple of songs with them and i was absolutely terrible.got Lost in the solo, shit sound etc. EVERYTHING went Wrong. One time came guy to play with us who plays with Stochello Rosenberg,i was told😂.i Guess i pissed the v uys off a bit...Its nice to record videos at home and pretending to be able to play. Nice clash with reality...Now Its time to start properly practicing ang going to jam sessions everywhere.

Thx for the kind words.im not in some kind of despair,quite honestly i was expecting something like that, after such a long break from the stage,just wasnt expecting it to be that bad. I literally started feeling more comfortable cca 30sec before the end...😂. Nevermind, life goes on, love this music.im gonna pull this off no matter what...

@Kaia K dunno, i just overestimated myself. Got a bit of a stage freeze...thought that would not happened to me...10 yrs ago i was playing in front of a lot of people (hundreds and cppl of times in front of 2-3 thousands) without problems, but it just got me this time after a long pause...but honestly-waking up the next morning and kindof picking up bits and pieces of myself,was actually an interesting experience. Kind of painful and empowering at the same time....life has a good sense of humour...

Grappelli VS Stuff
I made a pretty silly video last week. Trying to work out who is the greatest out of Grappelli and Stuff Smith. I even used the power of this community to help work it out. My life is weird but extremely fun!

Cool video with lots of info. And still, these guys are imposible to compare. Its like gardnerers having a discussion bout which tree is better. Full grown majestic Oak or beautiful sparkling Birch? But your insight Is always interesting

i´ve spend so much time last few months in disgusting keys such as Eb F and Bb, that dusting off this piece in G suddenly feels kindof easy even in 270bpm. (dont get me wrong please theres still lot to be worked on) after a year of intense practicing i can finaly let loose at least for cppl of seconds. dont have to think about every single scale run, at least in this one. feels good, i guess we all have a good teacher who can motivate people the right way 😉😎🙏
