Find the thing that excites you the most...
“
If you gonna take any advice from me, I would tell you: find the thing that excites you the most. And go after that... And disregard what anybody else is doing or saying... That's what you got to be the most successful at also...
Like I say we all have particular tools and natural talant. For me that very, extremely complex musical notation just seem to be very natural. If you ever look at Frank Zappa's guitar book that has all those transcriptions - there is nothing like it in the world. I've never seen anything quite as rhythmicly complex as that. But it doesn't mean anything. It just a part of that was my imagination have in the playground.
