Playing and improvining fast 8th notes.

[Bin Hire]

Terry I think I understand what you are saying. I like the idea. The whole of your playing draws from the parts. You are saying that practice is the same. At least that is what I think you are saying. Apologies if I am wrong. So your playing is like an entity? The sum of all the parts? What you add pushes the boundaries like air being blown into a balloon.
Thank you for your thoughts on this topic.

I've just been practising quavers between 240bpm and 336bpm. Half an hour's practice, pizzicato. I was inspired by this thread. I can run the notes at 336bpm for a very short time and try to keep the beat going with crotchets as I recover. Really I think the trick lies in getting your left hand there on time and getting it pressed firmly. My right hand feels quite tired now so maybe I am building up strength.
Ah, fast notes! Everyone is in a hurry in Aberdeen!
