Re: Creating Space



TOTALLY!

I started playing guitar at 10 and am now 28. I think it took me until I was about 20 just to realize I don't need to play a shit ton of notes; and another four or five years to start implementing it in my solos.

Actually, now that I think about it, that's around the time I bought my first loop station (RC20). That little box really helped me out with dynamics and silence specifically. It's like, before the RC-20, I always started with 1; then I learned 0. The RC-20 was my Moors.

Well said.  Learning when NOT to play has been a long-term undertaking for me.
