When I play, I stare at the left hand of whoever is playing lead. And I get to know what people are playing well enough that when they start going somewhere, once they arrive, I'm already there.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm still trying to figure out what the right line is between myself and the people I play. Sometimes I go too far one way or too far the other.
Who I am gets in the way of people looking innocently at the parts I play.
I get a feeling about where a teammate is going to be. A lot of times, I can turn and pass without even looking.
I noticed a lot of guitar players neglected the rhythm part of rhythm guitar and decided I would try to focus in that. As my skill and knowledge of the instrument grew, I found lead started to come naturally. Sometimes I play guitar like a frustrated drummer. Ha ha!
Lots of times I'll play lead and rhythm together.
I love playing to people and seeing them react.
I tend to play in a way that feels natural to me. To me that's authentic for myself. I play by where I'm led by some sense of where I feel I'm supposed to be.
My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.
I just play, that's all. When I'm in the field, I always connect with what I'm doing. I can't explain it. I can't control it. It just happens.
I could play everything but could never take a lead. My brain just doesn't work like that.
