To be honest, there were more things that I wanted to go and check out than I had the time -- four of five sessions all at once.
First up, I decided to go and listen to Reggie Hamilton speak. Reggie's played with a "who's who" of people -- Stanley Clarke, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand just to name a few. I figured he'd have some good insights.
Two of the main things I took away from his talk was two just be yourself -- learn from other people by mimicing their chops, but respect their privacy enough to not take their tone or their licks. The otherthing was to leave space open in the song, to let the tune breathe for itself.
