Relax

I think I tense up for some things. I find that's certainly true for pieces that I'm making an effort to play without error, or for difficult chord shapes (bars), or difficult fingering patterns.

I would imagine that, as a relative beginner, I'm generally holding my hands, fingers, arms too rigidly.

While practicing yesterday, I tried monitoring this and really made an effort to loosen up. I'm not sure it sounded any better, but it certainly felt better.
