> I actually find that once you learn something in standard that there is relatively little cognitive load involved. It's more about refining very fine motor skills and coordination between shapes/fingerings. This is actually the cognitive load I’m talking about. I can do that, and I have, but playing the music I want to play is really challenging because I have to adapt free strings or polyharmonic positions to positions my hands can and will do (and can adapt to do better) but still keep me focused on whether I’m getting the sound out of my instrument the way I want. (Thanks for the name drops, I have a couple artists to check out! Since I’m here talking tunings, my biggest influences are Kelli Rudick and Kaki King)
