We're all friends here, right?
I can trust you to keep this amongst yourselves, right?
I have a nagging, potentially serious problem to confess ...
I don't seem to have much ability to 'visualise' a drum pattern in my mind to begin a song.
If there is a bar or two of intro - I'm there. That triggers my memory. What I struggle with is plucking a beat out of thin air.
I mentioned this when I was having tuition - and my tutor kindof shrugged it off as if it was no big deal. When I pressed him on it he said he imagines the intro.
Can't really see me pulling that off tbh. Especially under stress.
Anyone have any tricks that might help?
Or am I just mentally unsuited? Do musicians just have superb memories?
(Don't be too harsh - got my 1st ever gig coming up when the pubs reopen!)
