Bite A Lick Equals Nicking? . . . .
"The question is not whether I should bite a lick, chord, or super juicy note but from whom? The Beatles called it "nicking" and I think it might have worked out for them. I say it's all fair game. Now I'm not advising that you rip-off a whole song and claim it as your own, but you should learn other peoples music, trademark licks, and rhythms. It can only make you better. When I was in college an old jazzer told me the formula was this: Imitation, Assimilation, Innovation. Makes sense to me. You learn somebody else's stuff (imitation), make it your own (assimilation), and use all the pieces you've gathered to forge new ground (innovation)." from: http://www.indie-music.com/articles.php Posted by Guest Author on Friday, February 22 @ 22:23:38 EST Food for Thought, dedicated to the RIAA, whose primary goal in this life, is to restrict such notions to a few, a chosen few.
