Joey Baron's words of wisdom



You have to listen. You can't do anything that you really don't hear. You can get it out of a book or someone can show you something, but if you're not really hearing it inside you're not going to be able to put much belief in it. I mean I know all about all kinds of things and techniques and tricky things but I just don't hear it so I don't waste time trying to force myself to play stuff that I don't hear. I don't fancy myself as being a technical player although a lot of people say: your chops are this and that and how do you do this so fast...it's like I'm not even relating to music that way.”
