[i]Q: Can you explain the "OK Plateau?"
A: The OK Plateau is that place we all get to where we just stop getting better at something. Take typing, for example. You might type and type and type all day long, but once you reach a certain level, you just never get appreciably faster at it. That's because it's become automatic. You've moved it to the back of your mind's filing cabinet. If you want to become a faster typer, it's possible, of course. But you've got to bring the task back under your conscious control.
Well, my full-time work, medical transcription, requires a lot of typing. (If I relied on music for a living, would have starved and died years ago). Anyway, I use a macro system called "ShortCut", so instead of typing out "cardiac catheterization", have programmed it so that I just need to type "ccat" and hit the space bar, and so on for thousands of medical and non-medical words and phrases. I add new words/abbreviations to the system every day.
Guess I sort of have that same kind of shorthand system with chords/music.
