The Tuesday Night Music Club that produced Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun)" had a rule: you can't play your primary instrument. Sometimes playing an instrument where you're constrained by your lack of skill stimulates now creativity! I suggest you try it by improvising on an instrument that you're not the best at! What instrument will you try next?

This is Manose Singh playing bansuri flute. I love his vibrato and the "effortlessness" of his playing. Notice: - See him look at the guitar strings when they start? I wonder if he was double checking the key signature. See him look directly at the guitar strings again? I bet he's honing in on the rhythm here by watching the guitarist's hands. - Watch how they move their bodies. Not only is the flutist moving expressively, but so are the guitarists and drummer. Watch his facial expressions. If your eyebrows are not moving, you're probably not playing expressively enough. Watch your videos! - Do you hear him create variations on a simpler theme he played earlier? - Do you hear how he starts low, then adds complexity & moves up into the higher register? - Notice how quiet his quietest quiets sound compared to his loudest louds? - If you watch closely you can notice him indicate with his foot to the band an impending temporary key change! They must have agreed upon this before. - You can expect cheering like this from the crowd when you've reached this level of mastery and are performing with talented musicians! What do you like about it and most want to emulate in your own playing?

How fun! Maybe we need a Flutarians street band! https://youtube.com/shorts/kszQ5rInuFA?si=Alvrl1-LSk4pATJV

This one used to be one of my favorites to put on repeat. I haven't tried improvising with it lately though. I'll make a video with it soon. What about you?

I love this! They are truly playing! https://youtu.be/lZbfNtDCHdM?si=zDC9drKH__T1hT8i
