0:00.0	I'm Peter Martin.
0:17.6	And this is the You'll Hear at a podcast.
0:19.3	Daily jazz advice coming at you.
0:21.2	See, that's how you do it.
0:22.2	Yeah, well, that's why we changed up the order. I wanted to hear how to do it. I know since I've learned about your new interest in leadership, you're like the Tony Robbins of jazz. Leading from behind the piano. Great. So today, this is one of those fun episodes where the title is not a question or a list, but it's a command.
0:22.1	And it is... great so today this is one of those fun episodes where the title is not a question or a list but
0:39.9	it's a command and it is stop copying other players now mic drop bam you'll hear it but i feel like
0:47.1	does this title go against what we usually tell people well on the surface it does but just like
0:52.8	everything on this podcast and just like adam you and i our personalities when you scratch us below the surface, it does.

1:17.5	That's how you learn to play this music. But the reason we say this, I just want to reiterate this, because the other day on the episode, I forgot to mention this.
1:18.9	The reason we say to do this is not because we have some secret scroll that tells us this, or because we're dogmatic.
1:29.7	It's because we've observed this in a huge number of great players that they did this in order to learn to play this music.
1:35.9	So you can go, and I mean, I'm just thinking about players that I know and have personally
1:43.8	been around and heard their testimony.
1:48.5	So I'm thinking about like Roy Hargrove.
1:50.7	He's pretty good, right?
1:52.9	Yeah, he's okay.
