In this episode

*
Relax. Don't take music so seriously to the point where you forget why you got into it in the first place.

*
Don't be so hard on yourself. Don't compare your playing with others, just go for your personal record.

*
Practice hard. Becoming a better jazz player does not come cheap and easy.

*
Jam hard. Take every opportunity to play with others, because this is where the best practice happens.

*
Travel or get out and do something other than music. Artists need inspiration and experiences to create art.

*
Don't be afraid to fail. Failure is how you learn to play better and fix what is broken.
