If they&#8217;re happy, end of story. If they&#8217;re not try to help get what they want and if they aren&#8217;t very articulate it&#8217;s up to me to try 10 million variations. Finding a version that makes them jump up and down and hopefully say &#8220;perfect&#8221;. Then I feel like a pro.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8s40p\" data-offset-key=\"2dika-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"2dika-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"2dika-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8s40p\" data-offset-key=\"askej-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"askej-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"askej-0-0\">This stems from the first times people hired me to play on their stuff and I threw a hissy fit when they weren&#8217;t satisfied. Mostly an internal hissy fit but still emotional. The fact that they didn&#8217;t &#8220;get it&#8221; that what I did was perfect and they rejected it for something lesser, didn&#8217;t compute. Now it stuns me that I was certain my choices were the best decisions for someone else&#8217;s taste because it&#8217;s their baby not mine. So many layers of wrong about my attitude. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8s40p\" data-offset-key=\"civ10-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"civ10-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"civ10-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"8s40p\" data-offset-key=\"32i06-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"32i06-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"32i06-0-0\">I never hire anyone that&#8217;s that out of touch with reality or at least never a second time.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When someone hires me to play on their music, try my best, follow my instincts and check whether they feel it hit the mark.
