Oh man thanks Jazmaan, Validation!   I feel so much better about my 
attempted playing, since I couldnt' repeat myself if I wanted to, either!!

Here in France (where I am not watching AI, no comment, 'cept Go 
Taylor) the word for music practice or rehearsal is "repetition", 
which is anathema to me.  Largely 'cause I can't, partially because 
it don't interest me to try to play exact replications, much as I 
like hearing them.

[Although I must confess I do in fact repeat myself accidentally (as 
some of you sadly know), insofar as I play my only three-and-a-half 
riffs over and over, forwards and backwards and faster and slower, 
but that's different . . . ]
