smile.gif my answer in an earlier post made me think about the great words of wisdom of a great man: Miles Davis, who said 'Don't play what's there, play what's not there'

In my opinion, what he actually meant was: playing has to included silence under the form of breaks so that the music can breathe. So, the question is - do you usually use breaks and silence in your playing? How conscious are you regarding these elements?

I for one have started using the idea of silence a while ago and the results are usually very interesting biggrin.gif

Exactly! Silence is as important as the phrases. I liked Posterboy phrase. I enjoy a lot the guitar players that give as much importance to the silence than the notes. The best example that I have for this is an old instructor from here called Jonathan Burgos.
