So why is it SO frustrating to figure out what to play in the background while someone is talking. Sometimes we may have a tendency to over-complicate things. In addition, many times, we compare our talk music with some of the cool things we hear from Jason Tyson's Live performance. So we judge ourselves too harshly. This post will show you that you probably already play talk music and only need to master a few things.

But if you want to play it well you will need to master some fundamentals first
