1. LISTEN MORE THAN YOU PLAY
Most musicians focus on what they’re doing. Locked-in musicians focus on what everyone is doing.

2. DYNAMIC AWARENESS
Locking isn’t just about rhythm — it’s about intensity.

3. POCKET CONSISTENCY
The pocket is the micro placement of notes. (Bass Guitar is sometimes slightly behind the beat)

4. Simplicity > Complexity
A band locks better when parts complement instead of compete.

5. Eye Contact & Nonverbal Cues
This is underrated and difficult to explain: (JUST WATCH)
