  • I apply all these same principles to my career as a National Chart Topping Jazz Guitarist. To make music full time at the pro level you need three things. 1. A good attitude. 2. A good work ethic. 3. Good knowledge and skill on your instrument. If you are missing any one of these... I think you get the idea.

    This is what I tell artists how do not want to hear what I have to say. "Don't get bitter get better!" All of this is in our control Peace!

  • This would have been indispensable viewing...25 years ago. Now? If you think there are "A" and "B" levels and even C and D levels like there used to be, you are dreaming.

    The era of the "session" is over. Recording, the majority of it, is now performed in producers home studios.  The majority of big studios are gone. The legendary rooms in NYC are history

    And while there will always be "sessions", and great players, the entire paradigm now is different. The business has changed, forever.

  • @BirdlandBigBand I couldn't agree more. Everyone is taking baby steps and shortcuts, and not even paying their dues to learn the craft about musicianship. My motto, 'Know thyself! You cannot know where your going, until you know where you came from!' True statement!

  • Outstanding! I will definitely share this with other musicians that I know that want to make it in the music industry. Nathan East is an phenomenal bass player. I love the advice that Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones said!

  • oh shit, Nathan East is one of the best love this guy

  • TONS OF RESPECT FOR LIONEL RICHIE!

  • @dctw

    michael thomson is very great guitarist ...

    his sound and his feeling are really on top ...

  • as a guitarist i'd love to just jam with Nathan and Steve Jordan.

  • 11 people are B players

  • What a great video to have run into. I have twin boys (bass player & drummer) who aspire to be pro musicians & do studio work. Lionel's comments caught their attention as did the overall information about the A vs B player. Awesome words of advice.

  • @JimmyCheesenip He's Lionel Richie
