I feel like I grip my fingerboard way too much, and it can cause an impact on my left hand. How do I stop??? I feel like it’s also the thing holding me back on vibrato.

I already posted here yesterday, but I have to say that it was marvelous. I specifically enjoyed 2, 3, and 4. They are my favorite stages because of how solemn they can be sometimes. I unfortunately have to say stage 1 was my least favorite of the whole series, mostly because I just didn’t think any of the songs sounded good. I’m aware that’s an unpopular opinion, but I love music, and the sound of stage 1 doesn’t do much for me.

What is everyone’s opinions on that?

In lieu of my grandmother going through Alzheimer’s and dementia as a result, I have decided to go through all of Everywhere at the End of Time! I was quite young when she was diagnosed, so now that I am older, everything is hitting me like a freight train. I just finished with Stage 3, and am going on to Stage 4.

I think it’s beautiful, as well as a testament to how unique dementia and the whole topic of memory loss is from person to person. I crochet while listening to it because she loved to knit and crochet. She was a creative woman with the happiest demeanor ever.

If I have to be honest, I feel as though I’m grasping at straws trying to remember things about her. Listening to the album so far has me realizing it’s more of a two way street between us. She’s losing her memories and track of time, and I’m trying to gain back what memories I have lost of her.

Long rant and all that, but it makes me think deeply about it. Usually, I get sad whenever I think about it, so listening to it gives me some sort of peace of mind. Sure some of the music can get disturbing, however I feel so deeply that I was meant to hear it.

Just wanted to share my thoughts! (:
