Sometimes you have to make changes in your practice routine. As you learn more tunes, techniques, backup, and an additional instrument, you find that its impossible to practice all in one session. As you progress, your goals may change also.

I continue to learn new tunes on banjo and harmonica each practice session. Along with that, every other session I switch between practicing tunes I know and backup.

I'm enjoying the music learning journey. If you don't enjoy playing music or have fun, what's the point?

keep picking.

	pickn5 says: 7/5/2019 6:45:26 AM In my original post, I forgot to say, some days you just have to play for fun. Those are the days you sometimes get into the zone and everything clicks.
	WayneConrad says: 7/5/2019 8:11:14 AM Heck yeah!
	AndyW says: 7/6/2019 12:26:57 PM The Tommy Jarrell tabs from Brad Leftwichs roundpeak book involve a lot of playing for fun. I've found that they take a lot of playing to get under the fingers properly as there's such a lot of notes going on.
	AndyW says: 7/6/2019 12:28:25 PM Definitely some stuff gets left behind and needs revisiting. I've had 3 or 4 tunes drop completely off my radar over the last few months.
	Judith511 says: 9/24/2019 6:57:03 AM Yes you have to have fun! I have been exploring the Carter family music. Some nice stuff to sing and play.
