There were two rules for me. Master your craft, which means to me study ,be prepared,and never give up. I learned and applied one of Mr. Jones' Proofs in college ,not realizing until some 30 years later. A Quincy quote- "When People say "you can't do that, I say "oh really"? My TV instructor could not believe that I secured permission to bring a television college crew, document and record on a major Film and Television union lot...He said, "Oh Eric , you'll never be able to get "us" on the Universal Studios property.. I did, and produced a documentary on Animals and how they are trained (Ray Berwick) on make-up (John Goodwin and) stunts(Rick Baker.."Reverse Celluloid(1975) Then "in the 90's I met Mr. Jones several times... and marketed several QWEST projects at WEA New York.(full circle) E.

[@stephenlennartz3466]

I've had guitar students begin at 50 ... 60 ... 70 years old and older. Many have gone on to do amazing things! ; ) No ... they're not Michael Jackson... but guess what ... that wasn't their goal. One wanted to accompany at her place of worship (did it), one wanted to perform at small clubs and wineries (did it), one wanted to play guitar for his grandkids while they sat around a fire pit and made s'mores! (Done!). I would add ... distance yourself from negative people--- naysayers who say 'you can't do that'! (Like one of the commenters in this thread). Negativity is poison that just might rob you of what could have been. You'll know who they are pretty quickly-- they hide behind comments like, "Oh ... I'm NOT negative ... I'm a realist!" These are often people sitting on the sidelines secretly wishing they played guitar (or other goal). One final story. When I started working in a mar Yes ... you can start any age.

Thanks to share about this great artist Evan. My prefered rule is number 5 "Always be prepared" because I have experienced as most of the time what makes the difference is what you have prepared for yourself just to improve your skills trying to reduce the distance between imagination and reality.

Amen Q even if I were who they say I am I'd still love myself. Loving oneself is not an easy thing to do. Others whove attained this. DO NOT LET THEM ROB U!

Love yourself! If you can’t love yourself how do you expect someone to love you.. I love that.♥️. Take what God has givin you and make the best out of you. Create a new you, if you don’t like what you see in the Mirror. Create this new person in your mind first with what you have. How ? See yourself in a different light. God created us and made each one of us unique! Cherish the gift of God’s love.♥️. If God loves you and he truly does you must love yourself as well.

I can remember in 1971 when Quincy Jones was music director for the academy awards, he was also the music conductor.
