Re: Can I sound like Miles on a strad?

I played the same Strad for more than 28 years before my Celebration. I could sound like who I wanted. Miles , Freddie, Clifford, Maurice Andre, Wynton, Chet Baker etc... Conception of sound is in your head and when you think in tonal colors you can get a very personal sound having been influenced by your favourite player.Just listen one after another Clifford/Lee Morgan/Freddie Hubbard and then Woody Shaw. You will hear so many things in common even some of the same licks but in the end ýou still know who's who.Take your influences and then make it your own.Making music and being creative is what it is all about!
