Definately Practice ;) (How dare you cut into my posts Jolly :mad: ) Through repitition you develop muscle memory that lets you play faster and faster. A metronome will definately help with your sense of timing.

billywhitewolf's post made me think of a question for you guys. How do you recover if you're playing something and make a mistake. Sometimes I can feel a mistake coming on a few moments before it actually happens. What do you guys tend to do to lessen the noticability of such a mistake. It's further complicated when I got a drum beat going and the mistake leaves me off the beat.
