It's not like I was nervous. I was the only one here. And this is songs that I can play in my sleep. Maybe I was too baked off the weed LoL
Thus the / - nerved/pressured. You put the pressure on yourself. "Gotta play it right! I'm recording. I want it to be a good recording. It being a good recording is important to me. Getting it right will save time and energy. I want others to hear what I hear in my head, so I have to record it right."
That sorta shit. The inner dialog we have with ourselves.
You're good to go, until you hit the record button... At times like that, it's best to just not hit the record button (for me).
That's what I did. I just said fuck it, turned the recording device off and just played
Yup. You might as well just say fuck it and have fun. Or say fuck it and practice, practice, practice...
Oh...
Some dude was doing like 40, so I passed them. The fucker crowded me in the other lane, so I hit the thick slushy stuff without even one wheel on the clear pavement.
This caused the ass end to go haywire, first one way and then another. I countersteered effectively and regained control. It was a bit of a pucker moment - but I never said 'oh shit'. Instead, I said, "hold on, we've got this". My voice was pretty confident, though it was pretty close to a complete loss of control.
I was pretty pissed at the person I'd passed, but I didn't do anything to them.
