Some Quotations About Making Music Basie Hendrix Parker Pavarotti
Count Basie
Its the way you play that makes it. What I say is, for Christs sake, you dont have to kill yourself to sing. Play like you play. Play like you think, and then you got it, if youre going to get it. And whatever you get, thats you, so thats your story.
Jimi Hendrix
I dont really live on compliments. As a matter of fact, they have a way of distracting me. I know a whole lot of musicians, artists out there who hears the compliments and thinks wow, I must have been really great and so they get fat and satisfied and they get lost and forget about their actual talent and start living in another world.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
Charlie Parker
Hey man, its just music. Its playing clean and hitting the pretty notes.
Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you dont live it, it wont come out of your horn. They teach you theres a boundary line to music. But, man, theres no boundary line to art.
Youve got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail.
Luciano Pavarotti
I think an important quality that I have is that if you turn on the radio and hear somebody sing, you know its me. You dont confuse my voice with another voice.

D7 9 The Hendrix Chord
The Hendrix Chord
Jimi Hendrix
was so famous for using this chord in his riffs and songs that although its officially called a 7#9 chord, often guitarists just refer to it as The Hendrix Chord.
Hendrix tuned his guitar down a half step (tuning his guitar Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb rather than standard tuning of E, A, D, G, B, E). So his guitar sounds a semitone lower than a guitar in standard tuning (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Slash and a number of other blues rock guitarists tune down a half step in the same way).
This chord (played two frets higher in E) is the main chord of the Foxy Lady
riff, used in Purple Haze, Stone Free and more.7#9 chords use these degrees of the major scale: 1, 3, 5, b7, #9
D7#9 uses the notes: D, F#, A, C, E# (F)
Our inversion uses the notes in this order: D, F#, C, E# (F)
