Be the Worst


Legendary jazz guitarist Pat Metheny has a stock piece of advice for young musicians, which is Always be the worst guy in every band you’re in. Be the worst guy in every band you’re in. Before starting my career in information technology, I was a professional jazz and blues saxophonist. As a musician, I had the good fortune of learning this lesson early on and sticking to it. Being the worst guy in the band means always playing with people who are better than you.
