#408 โ€“ Tal Wilkenfeld: Music, Guitar, Bass, Jeff Beck, Prince, and Leonard Cohen

Yeah, it's jagged. It's... It's all over the place. It's uncertain. It's one thing, one moment, and a completely different thing, another moment. You never know what's going to happen. And if you thrive on variety, which I love variety, then it's perfect. But also every human being needs a certain amount of certainty and structure.

And so the certainty can come from your inner knowing, knowing that you're doing exactly what you want to be doing and knowing what your purpose is in doing it, in this expression. Otherwise, you're just kind of like a leaf blowing in the wind.

Yeah, it's a lot of like the physical labor aspect of it is really hard. Playing on stage to two people or 2,000 or 20,000, that doesn't make a difference. I mean, it makes a difference to the ticket sales, which informs what level of luxury you might have on the road or not. But other than that, it's just people there listening to music. The music doesn't change.

Yeah. I mean, I always like, there's certain points in shows where I'm just like, I consciously am like, oh yes, there's an audience over there. Because I'm so like wrapped up in whatever's happening on stage.

both you know like every instrument has its strengths beauty limitations range like possible range that can you know be extended to some degree or another depending on who you are like trumpet or something you know like certain people can hit higher notes than others blah blah blah but um That being said, we're all playing the same 12 or 24, however you divide the octave, that many notes.
