I posted a clip of "how to build a solo" from this gig recently and received a lot of very kind comments. I wanted to share a few moments from this same gig where I did not sound so great. Very embarrassing, but I like to post these to remind younger musicians that making mistakes is part of improving as a musician.

It's easy to scroll on social media and not feel that way because you often only see highlights. I try to avoid that because it's not helpful, even if it comes at the price of having literally hundreds of thousands of people watch me fail.

I was very frustrated with this moment because the rest of the gig was so smooth and this rhythm section was amazing. It's hard to convince yourself that you belong on stage with cats like them when you make a mistake like this. But I'm grateful they have always been patient with me.
