Adding the #1 Ingredient to Your Song-Playing

Intrigued. Hurt. Excited. Bitter. Mellow. Glowing. Happy. Jealous. Guilty. In Awe… And hundreds more.

There are SO many emotions we can put through in our playing and our singing, yet most of us tend to just play the song in a completely “flat” way – and miss out on this #1 ingredient that ANY music that ever touched us has plenty of.

But when you DO add these emotions, and think for a moment about what you want to transmit in your performance, people can be totally captivated in what you are playing, and on a good day – after you play a song  that you REALLY connected with, you can feel like you had an almost “transcendental” experience.

An experience when you get lost in the emotion, and really forget about the time and place you are at.

And it does not matter if you’re playing for a crowd of 2 people or 2000.

Enjoy!
