10 Miles Davis quotes to get people started:

1. If you understood everything i say, you'd be me.

2. Sometimes you have to play a long time to play like yourself.

3. Don't play what's there, play what's not there.

4. You should never be comfortable, man. Being comfortable fouled up a lot of musicians.

5. I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

6. I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when i wake up every morning...everyday i find something creative to do with my life.

7. Knowledge is freedon and ignorance is slavery.

8. Do not fear mistakes. There are none.

9. Someday i'm gonna call me up on the phone, so when i answer, i can tell myself to shut up.

10. Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.

Arjun Menon wrote 5. I'll play it first and tell you what it is later.

I was tinkering on my acoustic in the lounge and my wife asks me," Don't you ever worry that you will forget something you've just made up?" Because I just make up chord progressions or pieces and then move on.

I'm not worried about that because, to me, if I can have one good thought now, I can have more. So I end up practising thinking up pieces instead of practising playing what is an old thought.

if that makes sense?

Have ever stuffed around and started playing something that you just made up as you went along... and have someone think they recognise that tune...? :-[
