Nov 16, 2014 at 19:22 comment added Darren Ringer I always thought driving and playing music correlate very well. Unfortunately in music you are rewarded for pushing the limits of ability; while in a car, you are punished quite severely ;p
Nov 16, 2014 at 16:43 comment added Tim @PLL +1 for the analogy. We're happier in 4/4 than 5/4 because we've used it a million times more. We can relax (a bit) about it, but still need to be aware of what may be coming round the corner, though.Maybe that's why so many signal left/right even when there's no-one to tell?
Nov 16, 2014 at 15:53 comment added W4uoe9A Interesting analogy. There are lots of moves I've internalized for driving, like changing gears, look before turning etc. They all took a conscious effort to do when I started but now they come automatically to the point where I can't even remember if I've done them ("Oh, I'm already in 4th gear"). But if you have to start counting again whenever you try to play a new piece of music that would be like having to remember to change gears just because you're on a new road. An experienced driver wouldn't normally been thrown off by something like that. Is it the same for experienced musicians?
Nov 16, 2014 at 15:33 comment added W4uoe9A Interesting analogy. It got me thinking. There are lots of moves I've internalized when driving, like flipping the indicator, changing gears, looking before turning etc. They all took a conscious effort to do when I started off, but now they come automatically to the point where you can't even remember that you done them ("Oh, I'm already in fourth gear")
