Have you ever looked back on something that you’ve done and gone, “If I only knew what I know now, I would have done that thing a little bit differently”?
Well, I was thinking about that the other day about my jazz playing. If I know what I know now, would I do something completely different or have a different approach to learning jazz than I did when I first started learning it?
Well, in today’s episode that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna build a time machine. I’m gonna go back, and I’m going to redo the way that I learned jazz and I’m gonna take you along for the ride with me.
