+1 the world runs on facebook these days and i don't get why i mean social networks aren't a completely new concept (my space, hi5, etc) what makes facebook so special?

i fear i'm facing post band depression i'm getting huge GAS attacks lately been checking out loads of guitars and i spend more time on this forum than anything else i've become pretty isolated since this hapened i guess it's cause i'm hurt that my drummer and bass player did this to me...

i sometimes feel i can't play good... my ex bass player would always crticise my playing and even if i felt i did it right he'd say i did it wrong... i was in charge of the band but he couldn't take that cause he had to be a better everything than everyone else... but still i sometimes feel powerless while playing and everyone says i'm awesome but inside of me i feel it's a lie i try to get broaden my musical knowledge to compensate but the feeling remains...

it kinda bites as a college student that i'm constantly counting my cash and my time... i know for example that i'm currently missing 152 dollars for my first guitar project... and every weekend i'm always busy whenever i'm not with my girlfriend...

great topic

Dawg, you have to find a way to get over this. Before joining HaleAmano, I was told by my best friends (and at the time, band members as well) that I couldn't sing or play guitar very well. I was kicked out of the band I started as a result.

I quit playing for months afterward. I started doing paintings and selling them. After 20-years of playing, I gave it up. I figured they might be right, even though I knew I could play, write, and sing in my mind. You start believing the myth that a musician has no shot after 30.

After a while, I decided to switch things up instead of giving it up. Originally, I was looking to be in a Rockabilly band. I always loved the Stray Cats, and I welcomed the challenge of being a Rockabilly lead guitarist. But there was nothing around here. Then I found this Reggae band.

Since being in this band, I've written a song that went #1 in Hawaii on Oahu's Boom Down Countdown for weeks. Won a Hawaiian music award. Booked every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night in major Casinos in Vegas... And one other newest major accomplishment that I can't announce right now. Possibly on Thursday.

Don't listen to them. Trust in yourself. Be yourself. Work hard. And just freaking do it. Who are they to tell you that you can't play?

+1, its so depressing to look into some tortued anmals eyes.

i hate how people my age mistake lust for love.

me and some people are covering a couple of songs for musical performance skills. i have to be with them. the songs they want to do are massive hits by "rock" bands (eg, green day 21 guns :roll: ). i've told them what i wanna do, and they said no, purely because no one knows it and its not mainstream. they dont seem to understand that theres more to music than the mainstream has to offer. it frusterates me to hell. and the worst thing, the singer for that group, wants to join my band he annoys the crap outa me. he's nice and everything, but he has no understanding why i make the music i make, and he's a real fashion follower (or whatever you want to call them). i have no clue how to say no. i've told him that i'll be the singer and guitarist, but he still wants to join.

my only wish is to have a proper functioning right side again (preferably my arm and hand). i obviously hope so to. unfortuanetley it wont, the nerves are permanetly damaged. i can re-train my muscles, but not get them anywhere near 100% again.

thats life i s'pose

Hey guys. 8)

Ralf, listen to shredd.........radiofriendly, don't always look at having to perform songs you don't like as a bad thing..........

AS one of the, ahem, older farts on here it is quite sad to see some of our younger forumites having such a $@!&#* time. I remember being a teenage guitarist and the crap involved in bands at that age.....it doesn't tend to get any better, tbh, so use this as a learning experience.... :roll:

Ralf, college sucks financially unless you are fortunate to be one of the rich kids whose parents pay for everything, but being skint means you learn the value f money (supposdly :roll: ) and get to have fun living on toast and beans and finding the cheap bars and stuff.......look at it as an adventure!!!

Radiofriendly, perform the songs to the best of your ability and 'rise above' the negative feelings......broaden your horizons, sometimes at parties it is fun to break out the guitar and play some of the commercial stuff just to get folk on side...........as far as the singer goes, just tell him you don't need a singer or tell him if he jins he will be your backing vocalist :wink: that normally stps a singer in their path!!! Learning to say 'no' is one of the hardest things if you are a decent person, believe me I have been taken to the cleaners a couple of times due to being too nice. It's best to learn to be a bas%$£d now so it comes more naturally later.....I believe the official term is 'being assertive'.

STay patient guys, things have a way of sorting themselves out..................... 8) :wink: and you have guys on here and threads like this to shout and scream and be listened too..............

I hate the fact that I had to uproot my family and my life because other people wouldn't do their job.

The company I worked for lost several contracts due the inactivity and improper actions of individuals at specific sites.

I hate the fact that the higher-ups/directors wouldn't rein those people in or remove them from supervisory positions.

I hate the fact that those same individuals were either (1) rewarded with a new position or (2) given the choice of what sites they wanted to go to (since they screwed up the sites at which they lost the contracts).

I hate the fact that I lost my job due to politics and economics, even though I had not lost any business and all my "measurables" were in the highest percentages of the region.

I hate the fact that I stuck it out in a company that paid less than the national average for our position for almost 11 years and was unceremoniously laid off; I guess I shouldn't gripe too much since there was a guy who had 20 years under his belt and he walked out the door at the same time.

I hate the fact that I have to leave the congregation I have been a member of since I was five years old; my mother, brother and I were one of the first families when the congregation was formed.

I hate the fact that my daughter won't be able to finish her elementary schooling at the school she loves and has carved out a great niche for herself.

I hate the fact that I have to move from the home I bought twenty years ago, the only home my wife and I have ever had as a married couple.

I hate the fact that I am still angry about this a year later, even though I've found a new job where people respect me and appreciate everything I do.

I hate the fact that when I talk about this I sound like a whiny butt...I have it so much better than many people.

And look at you now bro...just think, if you'd believed all the haters, the journey you're on now with HaleAmanO wouldn't be happening.

And by the way I do have one thing to get off my chest since that's the point of the post...My coffee has gone COLD! :cry:

*refill... :shock: :mrgreen: ahhhhhh...
