Jack of All Trades

So how do you do it, how do you master a style? Easy. Practice, practice, practice. And you can forget the rule that practice makes perfect, ‘cause in reality, only ‘perfect practice’ makes perfect. What if you got the skills but there are no opportunities in your area that you live in. The cream rises to the top, so get in the cup. Great players are known and people at a certain level work with people at their level and they have no problems with travelling or relocating. I call this ‘[going where your gonna get love’. If you want to get to the next level you have to create the opportunities, or go to them and prove to people you have what it takes to help them succeed (and in turn you succeed). You have to prove to them you're a master of at least one.

Good luck. Till then, mad love to all my bottom dwellers.
