RE: Wayne Krantz Interview – A Guitarist's Guitarist

in #music7 years ago

Your interviews are always a treasure chest and I'm really happy, that you brought us closer to another great artist, that I did not have much on my radar before. There is so much to explore, but this paragraph somehow got stuck in my mind:

Whether someone goes to school or not, in my case, at some point I realized that every single person that I admired and who inspired me, was someone who had developed their own thing one way or another. That's when I got the message. The message is not, “Play like me.” The message is, “Don't play like me.”

That's truly the way of an artist: Learning as much as one can and then forgetting about it to develop a very own personal expression.

All in all I felt very much inspired by reading the interview, as well as listening to the sound examples. I followed Wayne on his other social-media accounts, until he decides to join Steemit (which hopefully will be soon).

Sort:  

That passage you quoted is an important lesson for any artist. I've heard that message echoed by so many great musicians, often as "finding your own voice."

In a world where millions of people play guitar, it's not easy to do something truly unique, but he certainly has. It's why he's considered a guitarist's guitarist.

Musicians can be a game changer for Steemit, and Steemit can be a game changer for musicians -- I too hope we see Wayne here soon.

I agree and @roused you did a great job again👏

Thanks my friend, I really appreciate that!
