Getting an hour of practice in the morning is crazy for improvemnt! been getting really consistent lately and have been playing in the evenings as well. I think there is a lot of truth to the confidence competence loop. It is becoming much more fun than it used to be! Also now that I have been reviewing older songs on a schedule, I can actually have a repertoire that I can go through for when people come over. Not like I would ever do that but its a lot of fun being able to actually play a song.
