One Thing At Once

I’m learning to sing a song in which somebody else will be playing the guitar. It’s enjoyable to be able to focus on the singing, and not worry about the guitar part.

And as a good ‘ol, ubiquitous, guitar strumming, singer/songwriter it has made me think about how important it is to learn to be able to do each part well, the singing and the guitar playing. And how it might be useful to focus on them each separately before trying to bring them together. I often find myself rushing ahead to that bit.

It’s amazing how our brains can adapt to do more than one thing at the same time. But it probably would help our hard working grey matter, if we had each part nailed, before we tried to mix it up.

One thing at once.
