Too many times us musicians set ourselves up to fail.

We set ourselves up to fail so that we are not able to improve in our jazz playing, in our skills,

in our comping, in our walking bass lines, in our single note lines, whatever it is that you're

working on right now, we set ourselves up to fail because we have the wrong mindset.

Okay, we have the wrong mindset for how to actually improve. And because we've adopted some

of these bad mindsets for how we approach actually going about

learning this music, we dramatically decrease the way that we actually improve and how we're

able to improve. So in today's episode, I'm going to be going over three powerful mindsets

that if you can adopt these mindsets, I can pretty much guarantee that you're

going to start making more progress in your jazz playing while practicing even less.

You ready to do that? Let's crush it.
