JUNK-ELIMINATORS:

1. My first notes of the day will be pure quality.

2. I will play slow enough to be accurate and clean.
3. I'm going to play perfectly for 5 seconds. Then 10, 15.
4. I'll be paid for only good notes.
5. I'll play my solo very slowly, resting every 4 measures.
6. It will never be said that my playing is boring.
7. Every phrase will be stunningly musical.
8. I'm going to be able to impress my friends with how
softly I can play without loss of tone.
9. I'm going to amaze my friends with how loudly I can
dominate without loss of tone.
10. My future employer is listening just outside my
practice room door! . . . . "You're hired!"

Freedom in playing comes when junk has been dealt with.

No one wants a flawed product. Goal: eliminate wasted
notes and wasted time. Put the practice room on
stage. Eliminate junk playing.
