You never will be successful because youre a pussy
Kayden Russell
have you heard people like mac demarco play? he just does open chords and has a career
Alexander Peterson
>28
Not very old. A lot of musicians are starting to get successful at age 30 or older, even women. On the other hand, if you're really convinced that you'll never be a good musician, you may as well quit because music is full and you're taking attention from the ones who actually believe in themselves.
Robert Bell
I have very low self esteem
Kayden Hill
yeah and mac demarco can actually play the guitar, what he does is good for what he does but you're saying it like he's unskilled.
keep doing nothing then and you'll just add it to the list of regrets and things you didn't go for when you get older
Ian Reed
Then you have to find some way to alleviate that a little because being a musician is very hard on the self-esteem and it's not going to get any easier. It's difficult and nerve-wracking to perform live, you will feel like you're not respected for the music you release and that will make you feel bad about yourself, etc. Seek therapy or at least try meditation/writing in a journal or something to make you feel more secure and confident.

Imagine buying a Fender Strat only to colour in the pickguard and pickup covers like a mongoloid child, write some stupid shit across the finish, and duct tape the shit out of the strap button instead of just buying locking straps
Evan Butler
she added some of her own personality to it. strats are pretty boring looking guitars
Benjamin Fisher
I'm all for adding personality to your guitar but fuck sakes man at least do a half decent job of it

this guy debuts with this at 40, and is now kinda famous. anyone can do it

People who think guitars should be pristine are the worst people
Chase Diaz
Imagine getting mad at someone coloring a pickguard
James Jackson
i have a $3000 parker fly deluxe that's scratched, dented, and has personality. why? I actually play it and not coddle it like some grandpa guitar gibson les paul
Kevin Thomas
what a stupid amount to pay for a guitar
Aiden Martinez
have you mad anything? post it

if you're making music to try and be popular you're doing it wrong. just practice dummy.
Tyler Fisher
I'm not saying they should be. A beat guitar because it's been played loads and not spent it's entire life hanging on a wall or in a case is cool as fuck. Scribbling shit on your guitar like a child isn't

make habits. yo ucould actually accomplish a lot in 2hours a day if you stick to it.
>can make melodys on the guitar and piano/synth

good. finish the songs or tracks.
>>Getting older
thats not that old!
>>realizing i'll never be a musician, or at least one that's good enough to gain a following or get signed
dont measure your shit in that way anyways the industry has completely changed , at any point getting signed could have been a death sentence anyways , rise above everything and crank out a good album every year or every 2 years the success being that you are actually doing it instead of battling and losing addictions shitty relationships dead end jobs like most people do.

Diplo is 40 years old and he only made it big a few years ago. He is huge now. You think people care about that?

Emphasis on the last part. You're never too old, but if you're trying to go somewhere far with it you should find or start a band with people who share that same burning passion to make music. None of this burnout attitude or weekend warriors shit either, you've got to work for it, and having band mates will increase your odds of making it. Otherwise if you're going to be a solo musician, you should check out deadmou5's masterclass. Or to sum up the most important part of it: he works his ass off. He often works until 4am if it means getting a new track finished. Speaking of which, I need to get back to recording :o Good luck brudda

You sat that like strats are a rare treasure.

Well I could have been a famous singer
If I had someone else’s voice
But failure’s always sounded better
