As a 40 yr musician who has made so many mistakes and bad choices, THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST ADVICE!!
But most won't listen and will make many mistekes and bad choices.......LISTEN!!!
Mature musicians know this... young players still gotta learn it.
Great advice to not limit yourself. Make mistakes, you learn from your mistakes. Without mistakes, you learn nothing. You always have right to choose, but your choices have consequences. Choose to try, to make mistakes.
I'm a visual artist but I've always felt that if you work hard at every opportunity you're given you'll end up doing what you're best at.
That was great advice for any musician.
Thank you.

Thanks for the correction!
When I was a teen I had a GREAT music teacher in school. First he understood that some few people are just natural musicians. So he never pushed me to learn to read music , but stressed to me on developing what GOD gave me. At that same point he taught me this same lesson , to NEVER lock myself in a box. To be free and expressive , no matter what I’m playing. BUT at the same time to be always aware of what everyone else was doing ,and to know when to lay back ,and let them shine. He also stressed that I should learn every type of music possible . And as many instruments as possible. 47 years later I now know he was 100% correct. Now that said I have since learned how to read enough to be useful , and enough theory to understand the fundamentals. I’ve never let that natural feel for music to be overridden with either.
I’m not famous , I don’t make a lot of $$ , but I’ve worked steady for 40+ years. And every step was a learning experience. The key is to always remember , there’s always more you can learn often from yourself , or from someone who’s a beginner. 😮 what did you say ?? A beginner ??? Yes ! Just like babies they don’t know any better , and sometimes will do things SO far out of the box you (the experienced ) would’ve NEVER even considered .
But most important is to ALWAYS LISTEN !!! Only those who listen can adjust to the need. A great example of this is Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily the greatest musicians , not always clean , or articulate . But they all knew how to listen. When Page would go off on a tangent they would follow perfectly .. And would be listening for the signature lick that would lead them back to the structure of the song.
Ok that was just TOO MUCH !! Thanks for reading this far .
