The Greatest Teacher Is Just Going Out

The Melody Is The Most Important Thing That Must Stay In The Minds Of The People Who Listen To You. No Matter How Many Notes You Play, You Can't Let Them Forget What The Song Is.

I Listen To Other Guitar Players, Yeah. It Gives Me New Concepts And Shows Me Where The Instrument Is Going For The Future And It Is Going Some Places. There Are Some Musicians Who Are Really Putting Out A Good Vibe With New Theories. I Try And Keep Up.

You Might Not Feel Like Playing Pretty All The Time. Instead, You Might Want To Play Something Nasty....you Might Want To Play Something Out Of Context With The Tune. It Might Be A Note That Creates So Much Tension It Becomes Unpleasant, But You Want It To Sound That Way.

The Greatest Teacher Is Just Going Out And Playing.

As My Career Has Progressed, I've Had The Pleasure Of Playing With The Baddest Jazz Cats On The Planet. But That Doesn't Change My Desire To Entertain Folks. That's Really Who I Am.
