The other day I was laying a rhythm guitar track on Life Nouveau, and having soooo much trouble sticking it to the hi hat. My strum hand was unusually stiff. It was not listening to my will, lagging and numb. I’m not usually a hypochondriac, but I was convinced this was an early sign of Parkinsons Disease or some other drastic health issue. Somehow I managed to get through the passage before I noticed that the pick I was using was broken. Half the tip, the side that brushes the strings, was gone. Guess that would explain my “diseased” performance.
