I wish him a life of obscurity, poverty, and extreme loneliness. May he achieve nothing and be just smart enough to realize what a waste his entire existence has been.
Well shit, that happened to me without shooting anybody
I wish for you to find a fun thing, be it playing guitar, drawing silly comics, or making obscure art. You need not create for anyone but yourself.
I'd rather find a large pot of gold but not bad advice. I should pick up the guitar again. Everyone thanked me for not creating music for them so it will be for myself.
I do the same with my guitar. Have a bunch of little songs and riffs, save them all on my PC. No one will ever hear them or hear me play guitar, just do it as a creative outlet for myself.
Played probably 90 minutes last night with my headphones on, was a great decompression.
I also have a bunch of little riffs saved somewhere. Hours of terrible tape from when i was younger too. I have tendency to criticize myself more harshly than I should but the criticism is somewhat accurate so I'm torn. I just can't not play sloppy. Decent ideas in my head but it's nearly impossible for me to execute.
Anyway, it was still fun and it'd be nice to try playing again.
I have an internet buddy who is a professional sound guy engineer for concerts. As in the guy that does wave form captures for analytical analysis and tells Taylor Swift “hold your microphone here or else you will sound stupid” kind of guy. He also jokes that he puts packing tape over guitar knobs to “keep these idiots from imma crank it up to 11”.
Anyways, I asked him about playing to backing tracks and sent him a shitty clip. He said it sounded fine, but told me to remember how all these videos/clips have gone through massive amounts of sound manipulation. He told me “you don’t sound bad, you sound live”. Made me feel a little better, and you likely sound the same so don’t worry about it.
Keep on jamming.
