Just improvisation, or some riffs I have been practicing forever. Something inside my hands clicks and I start grooving and man it feels great. Like someone flipped a switch or something. |
Yes, I have had those moments. Funny thing is, a lot of them have been recorded, and when I listen back to the recordings, I don't sound much (if any) different than normal. In my case, anyway, it's more a matter of being in the moment, subjectively, than a quantum leap in capability. That doesn't make it any the less real, though.
