i can think of one big thing i never practice enough
and i think most people probably don't: improvising.
and i don't want to hear you can't practice
spontaneity (though, it seems, i may not be able to
spell it...). getting used to improvising is an
enourmously helpful thing. think about it the next
time you freeze up before a solo :)
