Music plays you. Sonny knows some secrets. Thanks for channel!

[@gutesachen]

hahaha, laughing out loud, really, to tears: let the music play you!
(wow, yeah, thats it: I always had a feeling like "I am the instrument, the tool, the opportunity to get whatever is needed out of the .. instrument and into the music - which makes me to be the tool, played by the instrument, to get the sound out thats wanting to get out and to be added to or to make the .. music!"- Thanks to life and Mr. Rollins for this thought!)
don't try to .. play (what you practiced; which is not "playing" in my sense anyway)
let the music play you
!

[@ypolchenko-freejazz-guitar]
