I'm tired of being a wannabe musician

I wanna be a musician!

Be one then.

Being a musician is one thing.... being a player and singer is another thing and being a charismatic one is another! Some people are really gifted, like the youtube teenager I linked to the other day... makes me think/scream "omg, why do i bother?"

edit: i lost the thread but found that video: Eli Bentley

If you play an instrument you are a musician.

Seems I forgot one of these -> :mrgreen:

"It's not what you look like when you doing what you doing, but what you doing when it looks like you doing what you doing" :wink:

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practise. I should take my own advice.:mrgreen:

It sounds to me like you want to master music. That's a long, straight train track, where you can see the point at the end, but you never reach it.

I've heard your clips, tjalla. You're on the track, no question about it, and highballin', too. Just keep chuggin'.

Take your choice of these: :lol::razz::neutral::grin::wink::twisted::oops:

mrgreen usually works best for me :mrgreen:

tjalla,
I bet if you ask any reasonable artist that any of us would say have MASTERED their instrument they would say that they are not where they want to be yet....
I think we all get to a point where we are happy learning a new song or a new technique but we are far from content with our playing

Not necessarily :twisted::shock::wink:

Ditto.:cool:

The whole point for me is learning.... I really don't get sick of learning new stuff and some stuff takes me years to get right.. I think if you are questioning yourself and saying you want to get better that is the track to be on..

--Mommy...I wanna be a musician when I grow up.
--Sorry, son...you can't have it both ways.

If you play an instrument you are a musician.

Even if your "instrument" is a set of drums? :shock:

You live in Texas now.. you should get one. :lol:


After 30 years I've gotten to be a decent guitar player, but I have a long ways to go to be a good musician.

At first nobody took me seriously.

Then a friend taught me how to do a guitar face.

I studied and tried to master each of these faces: Guitarfaces (http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/Guitarface/)

Now I am considered a true musician.

Yeah! I think it's the law, even. :wink:

They even have little ones now that can live inside the house! :twisted:

I know I'm a real musician.

I just wish I were a good one. :neutral:

I wanna be a musician!

I wanna be a PAID musician.

I wanna be a PAID musician.

Oh, you mean an "entertainer."

Get lessons in theory and composition. Get a band and/or jam mates. Learn some alternate instruments. Play your heart out. Hire yourself out.

If you're prepared to work hard (it's a long old slog), buy up some equipment and get started OP.

I Make Guitar Faces when I make love.

pfft... get that wannabe james taylor and wannabe alex shultz off the page :razz:

But there are at least 8 good examples out of the 11 kinds of guitar faces in those videos.

DUDE!!! Whattaya mean "wannabe"?:shock::mrgreen:

Ya sound good bro... as far as the guitar faces.. I get get people smiling with mine I guess I am quite animated and while I am doing the "faces" I think I am playing with a straight face.. I even had Dale Watson smiling pretty hard one night and the only reason I know is because my wife snapped photo..
