Well the funny thing is, i've been giving hints, lil lessons, on how i do what I do when people come to me after church or stop me in the street or what not, i realize the more I share the more God opens my eyes to to other things i didnt know, and it has allowed me to develop my own signiture style of playing, now I was fortunate to had a grand father who was just a freakin beast on the B3 and passed on a few things to me before he passed, never the less, he was always teaching and there are many guys who helped me along the way when I was learning because my grand dad helped them, Some musicians dont realize it aint a competition and the more you teach the more God will open you up to. I remember one time here this seriously gifted jazz player was hired to play at our Valetine Banquet so all of us at church could sit and enjoy the evening, I went to him and asked him to let me know some jazz progressions, you know just some tips, he didnt have to show me, he could have just told me, because I understand theory, man he looked at me as if i was a demon and never answered me, like was n't even there, now i was not that hurt because at the time i had been playing about 12 years already so i was cool BUT a few years later dude came to me wnating to learn some R&B riffs, man i wanted to blast him but you know what? I was the better man, and taught him a few things, Now he has trouble gettin gigs and dont have a good rep as a business man, me on the other hand people just do stuff for me beyond what I expect, like theres a studio here i can just go and record in free of charge for any amount of time I need simply because I showed the owner/producer one simple chord progression he can do in R&B songs, he was so grateful because he say he been asking for so long and no one wanted to help him, but I did for free. So you see those musicians who dont share in the long run aint gone be blessed trust me thats the WORD!!
