As an experiment, I decided not to erase things that felt wrong or off, and instead tried to embrace them. It was an interesting experience.
There were a largish handful of things that I wasn’t sure about, especially since I was only allowing myself to add things and not take them away, but on the whole, I think it came out well. I probably would have gone into the scale pattern a little farther, but I felt afraid that I’d “ruin” it somehow, and held off. It’s interesting to note that even the shape of the neck wasn’t working at first, but I more or less pulled it off.
