Don’t play the butter notes.

Herbie Hancock relating advice given to him by Miles Davis:

I felt like I was getting in a rut, and I was playing the same thing over and over again, and he noticed that. So he suggested that I not play the butter notes … I started eliminating certain notes from my chords - some of the notes that clearly define what the chord is – and it actually changed my style of playing forever.
