I actually made this silly little animated video for a student of mine.

He was a little stressed trying to play over a backing track and this was a way to get him to smile and relax.

I told him the drummer was a pretty cool cat and would never give him a hard time for any mistakes he made.

Music is and should be fun.

Just my way of saying take it easy and have fun.

Cheers,

Billy
