Hi Beekie,

You’re right, it applies to many things.
Slow is the way to go. I know the feeling of impatience,
but you will definitely create better results by going slow first.

Happy to hear you had a great holiday!

Love the lesson Klaus. I have never tried applying zen or any form of meditation to my guitar playing, but this sounds great and I will give it a try for sure. Thanks!

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for reminding me for the tip of practicing the things slow…Thats what i often forget..Last week I had a skiing holyday which was great. By skiing counts also the Mantra: if you start skiing, ski slow, focus on your technique,and if your technique is good speed up bit by bit…
Thats what i am gone do more now..Practising on my guitar…:-)

Hi Laura,

Great to hear you managed to overcome this mental block.
It is something that happens to a lot of writers and song writers.

I hope you are on your way to a fresh start with your blog and your songwriting.

Thank you for the nice compliment.

Kind Regards,
Klaus Tol

I only discovered your blog a couple of days ago, via twitter. I’ve read a few of your more recent entries and have become very inspired by your words. Not only did it Inspire me to re-start my own blog but after reading about your thoughts on song writing and inspiration, I managed to overcome the mental block I had been suffering from after waiting for inspiration to come to me.
Over the next few days I’ll probably read some of the older entries, but, I look forward to future words of wisdom.
