I'm at a serious barrier with my playing at the moment. I am working on it to get through but for the last few weeks I've been very frustrated with myself. I'm focusing on learning Tornado, the snare solo, and I'm probably frustrated because after 9 years of playing I thought I had pretty good rudimental technique but this has revealed that I really haven't.
As such, I'm slowing things down and I'm going to spend a few months working on my control and getting things up to scratch.
But how do I get over the mental side of this? Do you guys have any similar experiences? How do I motivate myself to continue when the urge to give up is so strong? Short of making excuses to reassure myself (eg I haven't worked on rudiments so seriously before and that's why I am suffering) I'm clueless!
