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.

We're all playing the same notes. So in that sense, it's all the same thing. It's just music, or better yet, it's just art or expression. But yeah, every instrument has, you know, you've got to go through the physical...

the physical aspects of it the motor skills and all of that and hopefully you get through that really quickly so you can get to the expression quickly because if you get stuck in just that first phase that's be really boring yeah but that's a there's a pretty long phase the technical the the technical skill required to really play an instrument

For some people it's a long thing and some people it's short. It very much varies. It might have to do with like how you learn and getting to know like your strengths in learning, like more oral or more like, is it more like, like what's your strength and playing off of those strengths.

So for me, like it was like, like I was saying earlier, it was just an intuitive thing that I knew I can feel when my brain is full, like that it needs processing time. And so I listened to that. I don't push past it. Uh, even if it's like one minute and I do something, I'm like, okay, silence. And then I come back and it's in a, and I trust that it's going to be there and is there. So yeah.

Just trusting yourself, I think, is really important. Trusting that you know you better than anybody else is going to know you. So that's the kind of thing with teachers that can be either really, really helpful and great or really not great. I'm primarily self-taught. I've had amazing mentors of all walks of life. And

I think I'm unbelievably blessed that my mentors are some of my favorite musicians on earth, whether it's Leonard Cohen or Jeff Beck or Wayne Shorter, whoever these people are, like they are my favorite musicians. So, not everyone has that opportunity, but what the opportunity that we have now that I didn't have when I was starting is that everything's on YouTube.
