Mike Moreno Talks to Jazz Guitar Today 

some people are not humble but have paid their dues so it does not sound arrogant, Mike is one of them Pastorius another!)

Great interview! Thank You!

Great interview, thanks for sharing

I think what happens though is some musicians forget the music and play the technique for technique's sake and the music get's lost. And also some musicians with less technique tend to focus on the music. Leave's us to wonder where does Thelonious Monk fit in...he had technique, but the music is what you hear. So in my opinion lots of technique is great as long as it is not used at the expense of the heart and music. Musicians with a lot of technique are tempted to let that fact takeover.

Thanks for this interview, mike always has interesting insights. such an experienced and brave player. I wonder what he thinks of pasquale grasso.

😃

I think we all should just play from the heart...as opposed to modern or not

And sometimes thinking having a nicer, newer guitar will help you play better.

Anyone see the guitar almost fall over towards the end? Almost had a heart attack... Great interview nonetheless!
