Speaker 1: I studied a lot of technical things, studied classically in college, in high school and Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I really want people to feel the emotion that I'm playing, Speaker 1: because that's where it comes from for me.

So I really want them to Speaker 1: feel the emotion that comes out of the instrument. You know.
