Ep 246 - Respect Cover Songs!!
On this week's episode of #TheMusicMentorPodcast I talk about how important it is to respect and properly learn cover songs. Maybe you've heard that "we play how we practice" when it comes to sports, and it sure applies to music, however, today I illustrate it more like this: how you play cover songs is how you play "real" songs.
