I'm going backwards

[dave cherry]

I seem to be going backwards with my one minute changes. The more I practice the slower and sloppier I am getting. Where am I going wrong?

[MrBumble]

It happens!

Sometimes it is due to over practicing to the point where it gets to feel stale.

I've been there too and I stopped for a few days and did something else - songs in my case.
Then when I came back to the 1MCs I found I was much better at them than I remembered. Mind you I still have to concentrate on some of the tricky ones.

Above all, keep on enjoying playing otherwise there's no point.

Yes, i have to absolutely agree with MrBumble...

This has happened to me before too. The key thing is not to worry about it. That will make it worse, as you will begin to doubt yourself. Let it rest for a few days (as said by MrBumble), concentrate on something else you are learning atm and come back when you feel you're ready. (For me that moment has arrived when i stop feeling bad about my poor progress. But that just me).

I sometimes find that the changes start to go down hill during a longish run on one combination. Mostly I find that this is due to wandering concentration. Other times when there is a day-to-day deterioration, I think it is mostly due to being bored with change. So like others have suggested, move on to something different for a while and then come back to it.

Thanks folks.I probably have been over practicing so I will take your advice and try doing something else for a while. Cheers

Allright!

Let us know how that progress is going later on, ok?

[dave cherry]

Well I took a couple of days off from the one minute changes.I tried them again today and I found them to be much better,faster and more accurate so it seem that you guys were correct. Thanks for all your advice folks,it is much appreciated

The key for me seems to not trying to be super fast, but just do them smoothly. I get slightly less than I could, but i progress every day. A/D/E are over 70 now. I think trying too hard to progress may make it sloppy to the point where you don't do it correctly.
