it usually wrecks my mood for a few hours; i pride myself on being good at stuff and when i try to play something, and the tuning is weird, or this pedal got nudged and sounds bad, or i try a new song and fuck it up, etc etc, it gives me a headache and feels bad. instead of the post-playing glow i feel wrung out.
how do you process this happening / refocus afterwards?
Finish by playing something that you like and can play well, and remember that you’re going to have bad days, but you still enjoy it :)
