I'm jiggy to hear a top three (or more)
I'm 100% sure we'd get along fine!We'll I'd rather first meet you all at an Experience! But after that, it gets tricky. Due to delusions of grandeur and inflated sense of self worth on my part, there are lots of guys here that I would like to consider friends, and I like well enough to want to meet, who probably don't feel the same way about me. So I'd be afraid to put anybody on the spot. But I'm really a pretty nice guy, in person. I promise!
Probably dumb to say here but it's true - buying my 1st PRS (CU24) did more for me and got me over the hump I'd been flailing at for decades.
Without a doubt, same bro!I couldn't agree with this more. My first prs was a se CU24. That night when I got home I couldn't put it down and everything just seemed easier than any guitar before that. Maybe not easier but without a doubt more fluid and comfortable than I'd been in the decade prior. I even called the guy the next day and thanked him.
You played the triangle, didn’t you?, an instrument I won't mention in concert band,
Me too! I thought it would sound silly also.. but I went from super lame and frustrated to feeling competent and inspired. No word of a lie.Probably dumb to say here but it's true - buying my 1st PRS (CU24) did more for me and got me over the hump I'd been flailing at for decades.
Just don’t join a bluegrass band, whatever you do! Those guys just throw an extra beat in, whenever they want. I’m a prog guy and I’m constantly going “hey, what did you just do?” One guy I play with is FAMOUS for doing it when he’s singing, and that means we all better be ready for it and adjust immediately because everyone listening follows the vocals.I think I need to join a band in order to figure things out.
About 40 years ago, I was reading about training on bicycles (used to ride centuries and raced a little - never won). An article stated that for your training routine, to always ride with those better than you. If you do not, you will not be challenged!! You will be the leader with others trying to keep up and you will learn nothing!!! I have applied that philosophy to many aspects of my life in the past 40 years!!!! Maybe that is why I am on this forum ;~))Joining a band early on with some guys 7-10 years my senior and miles beyond me in playing capability, repertoire, and technique at first seemed like I bit off much more than I could chew. The other guitarist was a beast of a player but he was adamant about making me play my parts… he wouldn’t play all the hard stuff. I struggled, but advanced by leaps and bounds during those years. Since then, I welcome opportunities to be the worst musician in a group and run to catch up. It’s the best kind of uncomfortable.
I've never committed to a looper. There's one built into the Kemper and I should use it!Learning how to use a looper pedal. I didn't realize how lousy my rhythm chops were until I stated listening to myself over and over while practicing solos. Bass playing also improved. (I use a duel track looper).
