Licks? I struggle to play things that have been written for other people's fingers and prefer to do my own thing ( usually something slightly too complicated for me to do without bumming notes, FML)
I was speaking to a professional brass section musician the other day about how theory can become a barrier to creativity and he surprisingly agreed with me. Anyone else find that thinking too much about where things are 'supposed' to go can sometimes bogart your mojo?
When @rickster and I had that soul revue band all those years ago, I was very frustrated that the horn section couldn't improvise in pentatonic... The baritone sax player could just about do it but trumpet and alto sax were next to useless...
The bet's off Joe, I want my MM back ;)
