still thinking about this

the note NEXT to the one you THINK is "bad", corrects the one in front

this is the *foundational* principle – the axiom – from which musical genius is created

where other people get stuck on mistakes, geniuses appear to transcend. it seems like magic https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1251482583411519489

if you wanna know what that sounds like in practice, here's a demonstration by victor wooten

when you really appreciate/understand this at an intimate, physical, embodied level, I think you transcend making mistakes altogether (& you make music instead) https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/1086670220909895682

being able to smile and laugh when you make mistakes takes away 90-95% of the sting of making mistakes

(maybe wooten and davis would laugh at that and say it's 100%, lol)
