Most of the great players we interview built their core mechanical technique early and quickly. But their musical vocabulary continues to grow for a lifetime. This could not be more true than in the case of the amazing Mike Stern. Just press record on the camera, stand back, and one awesome stream-of-consciousness gem after another will come tumbling forth from Mike's amplifier. Such a massively diverse well of inspiring ideas can't be dug overnight, nor without specifically intending to. In the Cracking the Code Mike Stern interview, Mike shows us how to never play the same boring practice ideas again. Now we just have to take the hint! troygrady.com/stern
