I practice but I am not a quick study and I suspect many of you are not a quick study either. Listen, it's hard. People ask me how quickly I can learn a song and I can tell you honestly that from the first time I hear a song to where I've actually worked it into a show, it can literally take five years but that time can be a little quicker if it's a song I wrote.
You write a song, you learn a song, and then you have to shape it and tumble it, twist it, roll it, look at it from all sides and then you start playing it for people to see how it lands and how they recieve it, you're watching for their reaction.
The best thing you can do is learn to play and study great songs. Check out Richard Rogers, Cole Porter, or George Gershwin, the list goes on and on, but learn to play great songs. Put them in your own setting, use a metronome if needed and work towards internalizing the music.
