Other people - they practice and they practice... these fingers of mine, they got brains in 'em. You don't tell them what to do - they do it. God given talent.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not a huge practicer, which is probably not a good thing because my band definitely needs to practice.
I practice a lot.
I practice every day. I've been doing it since I was eight.
Because I practice often with my children at home.
I don't develop anything. I don't practice, I don't rehearse. I just go out there, and it's just amazing and unpredictable and spontaneous every single time. It's the most cultivating incredible performance that you can go and see live for the amount of money that you can see it for.
Most people learn to improvise on their own, listening to records, endless hours of noodling on their instrument in the bedroom with all their spare time. That's traditionally how people learn.
When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
Technique is noticed most markedly in the case of those who have not mastered it.
To me, the object of practicing is to allow you to play what you hear. But you're always hearing new things, so you never get to the end of it.
My heroes, I couldn't imagine them practicing. Like Bob Dylan, you know? Bob Dylan's a very, very good guitar player, but it's like he's trying to hide it. I always loved this attitude. When you're very good... it's like being an athlete - and I always hated sports!
