The true secret to being a great soloist on ANY instrument is the notes you choose to leave out, as opposed to today’s standard of playing as much as you can at the highest level of energy. The combination of thoughtfulness and emotional energy is what makes truly great lasting music. You should always tell a story with a beginning, a middle and a logical conclusion ending.

No matter how good you get, there is always somebody out there who is better than you. Some of the best musicians will labor in relative obscurity for their entire careers. Playing music is not a competition; rather, it is about reaching your own potential and giving pleasure to your audience. Keep on playin’ everyday and you’ll find those sweet notes that’ll make it all worthwhile.

Quote: Eric Clapton

Posted on December 4, 2009 by tastychops

I have no problem with religion, and I grew up with a strong curiosity about spiritual matters, but my searching took me away from church and community worship to the internal journal. Before my recovery began, I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Little Walter. In some way, in some form, my God was always there, but now I have learned to talk to him.
