Hi Simon, welcome to the site. Once again thanks for your very positive feedback.
Would be interested to hear your thoughts on practice, I'm becoming more and more interested in how we can take a freer approach to practice and yet still achieve the results of more structured routines.
Pop/Jazz players don't always have good practice technique/routine and yet some are able to achieve great results.
