Is it better to be a generalist or a specialist as a musician? WHO KNOWS - but let's explore the subject a bit. In this video I look at Paul McCartney and another MYSTERY musician while asking what a generalist is, and what it means to be a specialist.
Is one better than the other? Is the distinction a real one? Am I getting more and more unhinged with each passing video I make?
All these questions and more go unanswered by me in this latest video essay. Enjoy!
