Herbie Hancock Learned Quotations

So, he taught me how to play a simple riff and I somehow found a couple of other notes to play, then I learned how to watch his left hand and I learned where the notes were.

That's when I began to understand what a chord is. So I learned theory to find a shorter method to take things off a record.

Sometimes it was good and sometimes it wasn't, but I had to stand up for all of it or else I couldn't play any of it. I learned how to be courageous from that experience.

I get bored easily, but later I learned that it is OK to do something that others have done.
