When a guitarist, let's say it's Hendrix or Keith Richards or Jeff Beck, due to complexity of their playing, or any guitarist for that matter, plays a song in concert does he play according to his memory of only "broad sweeps" or does he play it in it's completeness - including fine details? Ditto for a concert pianist who plays Rachmaninov.Pop quiz 2 - do you remember exactly what you had for dinner last night or only broad sweeps? If your answer is broad sweeps you probably need to eat more fish.
