I remember the first time I saw a great jazz bass player named Carl Lindberg playing with his band Squat in Athens, Georgia. (He also plays in a Latin Jazz band called Grogus) He was scating over his bass solo lines with such ease and precision. Everything was in total sync. I thought, "wow, this guy's instrument is a total extension of his voice! He must practice all day, every day." Later a good friend of his told me that, "Carl said he never practices. He said he studied with great intensity for three to four years. Now he only plays when he gigs." While this may not be totally accurate I do believe that you can get to the point where the instrument is an complete extension of your voice. And I would bet big money that Carl sings to himself all day, every day.
That's a very cool thing to hear, I like that
I honestly believe that our emotional intensity in what we're doing recruits greater brain and bodily activity and can make us perform great tasks even though we don't practise them everyday.
