Just wanted to share a thought here.
I have been very impressed lately by a bunch a amateur musicians.
They only play for fun, a few gigs here and there in projects but no desire nor need to make a career in this business!! Most of them do not spend so much time practicing their instruments...
The true tripod for a perfect and successful stage performance resides in:
Techniques - Awareness - Creativity.
- Techniques to master your instrument and all what consists into a strong base for a stage performance from all its point of views.
- Awareness to understand why you do what you do...
