    That’s a really good one though, far as I know.

    Exquisitely-perfect timing at the “concert-level” is like way beyond the Beatles upgrading from Pete Best to Ringo Starr, but there we are. :D

      There is nothing more daunting than a 60-bar rest followed by a critical note addition right after. You better hope you’re paying attention or you’ll make yourself and everyone else look bad.

        Yeah, sometimes you can hear a cue from what everyone else is playing, but sometimes you just sit there, counting beats in your head as well as measures on your fingers and in your head, to give yourself as much redundancy as possible for when you inevitable fuck up.

        And then the 37th measure is in 5/4 time for whatever reason, which you can’t even hear either, and if you haven’t counted flawlessly up to that point, it just completely throws you off.

        C’mon, let’s not be mean there, mate.

        I think I can safely say that there are MANY ways to totally screw up a professional musician.

        Sorta talks to what your end-game looking for in life is, I guess…?
