Yes same for me on guitar. If I try to play something too slowly or if I really start thinking about what I'm doing it all falls apart.
I think that's when you really know a piece, when you can play it incredibly slowly. Paradoxically it's easy to play quickly and just let your fingers play out their muscle memory, playing something really slowly is the challenge.
- withinboredom 2y agoI ran into this when teaching my son to tie his shoes. He now ties his shoes “upside down” from me, because I tied it from my perspective. It’s surprisingly hard to tie shoes in slow motion, it took some practice by paying attention to myself tying shoes quickly. Now I’m wondering if you can tell a kid is from an “even” or “odd” generation by which way they tie shoes…
- cka 2y agoMy kid just figured it out, so generation parity can break

- withinboredom 2y agoThey often teach it in schools nowadays because busy parents will often not teach their children.
- smeej 2y agoMy dad's left-handed and I'm right-handed, so I got to learn to tie in mirror image. That was helpful.

- xp84 2y agoThis Ian guy's shoe-tying tip you've linked is one of the most universally useful life-improving pieces of knowledge I have, which I try to evangelize to anyone I know who will listen. The only facts whose impact comes close are mostly household tips: - cheap liquid dishwasher detergent including in the prewash cup instead of costly pods that deprive the prewash cycle of soap - Put bleach in the washer's bleach dispenser and use hot water for any light sheets, no, it doesn't hurt prints or fade light colors - cook anything you can fit in the air fryer to decrease total time ~70% vs an oven

- chgs 2y agoI taught it by standing (kneeling) behind, so my left was my son’s left. Didn’t occur it could be done the other way. However my wife, who’s 3 weeks younger than me, ties her shoes in a completely different way to me, which I believe is a “bunny ears” method. Give the large variety of ways to tie shoes, there’s no way you could infer anything other than the way they are doing it now.
- mattmanser 2y agoThere actually is a right way and wrong way to tie your shoes. Even with the bunny ear method right bunny ear over left is wrong, it comes undone much easier than left bunny ear over right. If you're like me there's a Google rabbit hole to disappear into for 1/2 hour, completely forget about, and carry on doing it completely wrong.

- beng-nl 2y agoYep. I couldn’t write down my work one without a keyboard.
- a96 2y agoYes. This is the big reason why muscle memory is the worst possible memory for music. The slightest glitch leaves you completely lost if you don't have conscious knowledge of where to go next.
