#55 Playing Through It: Hayes Griffin's Injury, Warm-Ups & Practice Priorities

Hayes Griffin and Magnus Zetterlund get together for a candid episode about practice rooms, warm-ups, and a story Hayes has been waiting to tell. 

Hayes shares how a simple car-cleaning moment left him with a mallet finger injury just weeks before Winfield, and how he turned the recovery into a creative exploration of one-finger playing inspired by Mick Goodrick. 

They dig into Hayes’s pick slanting journey, economy picking patterns taught by Beppe Gambetta, and Magnus’s double-stop approach to jazz standards. 

The community weighs in on what they're practicing, from Scottish repertoire to Vivaldi and Jethro-inspired jazz, and the pair debate warm-up routines and the value of centering yourself before you play.
