It has recently been brought to my attention that some musicians can practice their instrument solely by using their imagination. They can 'visualize' the instrument and 'hear' it in their mind without any external references! Amazing or they are full of shit?

With enough practice it becomes like another part of your body, a bit like driving.

Visualization is a well-known technique for athletes, fighter pilots, and surgeons.

I'd think most any musician who can play music "by ear" can do this.

I can close my eyes and see the guitar neck up to the 12 fret. That's good enough because it just repeats after that.

sure but you still need to practice the actual physical act of playing. Just because you know what notes you want to play doesn't mean your fingers can actually play them without practice.

It sounds like some lame excuse you'd tell a teacher

>I don't need to practise I just my mind
