I believe that every person has uniqueness - something that nobody else has.
If you don't get on the field and play then you will be missing out.
If you copy then it is not self-expression.
It would be a dream come true if I could just go from studio to studio and play solos.
I play with feeling so I need to hear what is coming out of the amplifier to inspire me; I dont just play mechanically. I need to hear what I am doing in order to create the next note. If I dont hear it then I cant feed myself.
If you are a musician and you dont show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.
