Brad, I want to thank you for introducing us to Victor Wooten. I ran across this video and want to share it with other students of yours. He has some excellent advice about not stopping when we make mistakes but learning how to recover, and play through our mistakes.
Aloha Bob, thanks. Will pass this along to my students. This is super info! I tell them this all the time but sometimes it’s good to get the information from another place than their own teacher… 
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Bob! I might put this in the newsletter (and convince Scott to let me teach a mistakes class at GKSKWS).
Bob,
I’m in a bookclub that is reviewing Victor Wooten’s book “The Music Lesson” and we just finished chapter 7. This book has dramatically changed how I play and think about music. Making instrumental mistakes or forgetting lyrics is a big anxiety block to performing for me. The “Practicing for mistakes” idea is another way to help break out of these performance road blocks.
John,
Thanks for the feedback. Guess I’ll have to pick up Victor Wooten’s book as he seems to be full of helpful advice judging from everything of his that I’ve seen on YouTube.
Brad,
That seems like a super helpful topic to teach. That is one of the things that I loved about kanikapila. If I made a mistake (or many) noone stopped playing. The song just continued until the end, and I could jump back in. 
I need to seriously make that part of my practice. When I flub a note or chord or lyrics, just keep playing until the end of the song. Then go back and practice that particular part that caused the problem. Slow down the tempo, and try again, or stop and practice those lyrics until they “stick”. Or look at the chord progression and notice the pattern. I tend to hyperfocus on the details, trying to play everything “perfectly” and not see the big picture. Nobody listening to a song wants it to stop suddenly. Songs on the radio or streaming service don’t stop in the middle and start over again, so why should they in a live performance? Practice it from the beginning to the end and figure out where the hiccups are, then work on those. Then play it again…and again…and again…and again.
Highly recommended! Get yourself a copy and enjoy!
