When we say we are starving we are often just hungry, as we are rarely to the point of true hunger we exaggerate emotions. Patience is rarely tested as well, so we end to exaggerate its implementation. Breathe.... this is a little thing.

Conga Machine on the drums

I just started learning to play the Doumbec(smaller Middle Eastern drum) and it has been frustrating. I've been playing the conga drums for 15 yrs and have a good time with them. But teaching my hands/fingers to do something different when I feel like I should just be able to whip it out drives me crazy. So I just keep practicing best I can.

Whats the most difficult song uve learned to play and on what innstrumnt? Years ago, I wrote a song called "Bombs on Planes" which has a really weird staccato synthesizer part in the middle. I could never really get it quite the way I wanted it, though. I was using an old Sequential Circuits Pro One and it just wouldn't go "grainy" enough.

Ahh nevermind the guitar, did you take your exams today? Yeah. i got the first two out of the way. Not sure how i feel about the calc but anthropology was easy enough. Macroec is at 6 and i should be cramming but instead im venting my frustration with my guitar. Thanks for remebering!

Never got into the instrument things, but a few my friends have completely gotten frustrated while learning difficult songs. I really get frustrated when my drawings, photography, or poetry gets stuck or doesn't quite capture what I wanted to. On occassion, but throw it out the window?? Probably not.
