Sometimes, don't you feel you suck at it?
For the love of the gods. Today, definitely, is not a good piano day. I can't even play a major scale without hitting a wrong key, or failing to hit a key at all. I've been playing Für Elise since Friday (the first 5/6 bars were beginning to sound ok yesterday) and today I can't do it without doing something wrong. I feel like I wanna smash my piano but then it's not its fault...
Today after arriving home I sat at the piano various times and tried it after several breaks. It's just not going today.
But I'll try once again in a few hours!!! Yes I will, mister piano.
What do you guys usually do in this kind of situation?

I would also recommend playing when you are in a bad mood, sad mood, angry mood ect and try to feel how this
impact your playing, and then it might be easier to find that mood when you are playing pieces that needs you to
create a searten feel and mood

Re: Sometimes, don't you feel you suck at it?
I cant play piano when angry, fear what I will do to it, and at the same time, I dont really play any well when i'm angry anyway.

If you feel that you can't play take a break and try again after 2-3 hours, and Thomandy was right, playing while you are sad/angry or very excited is something remarkable. I played after some victories in handball and one defeat
(World handball championship in Croatia) and it really helps, like you can feel what you are playing

so good!!

It was pretty tense but the last 15 minutes were really bad for Croatia, so they beat us, but yeah, they were better
