When I began playing guitar - I knew nothing about music (except that I loved it). There came a point where I'd gathered enough information/experience to begin what I would later refer to as 'noodling.' This was the phase where I began to sit down and practice for longer periods of time - repeating myself endlessly... but enjoying it! It was this phase where I began to feel more comfortable improvising... able to entertain myself for hours... without fatigue. Today - I don't equate 'noodling' with 'practice' (or even playing... really). But - as I work myself into some sort of 'intermediate' phase with a new instrument - I'm remembering how important it was get to that place. It was the foundation from which future exploration and intimacy with the instrument would spring. |
