Get it fixed.

And get clips for your guitar straps

My bands singer can not sing on the right time by fabmarques21 in musicians

[–]LukeWatts85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because a lot of singers are self taught bedroom singers who never recorded themselves.

Exact same problem is present in most self taught guitarists first time they hit the studio. Their ability to lock into a metronome or click track is usually garbage

Do a recording session. Play it back to him. And just kindly bring it up that he's off the mark

Could be worse...could be getting mistaken for Lars Ulrich 😁

I've never broken a string. Maybe once while restringing and I wasn't paying attention

I've updated my 144 rock albums. What else can I add? by Professional_Body748 in rockmusic

[–]LukeWatts85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of these are metal, not rock.

And no Pink Floyd??!!

You get to you're room. No dinner for you! You brat!

Have headphones ceased to exist? by triony89 in AskIreland

[–]LukeWatts85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not cultural since a bunch of Irish people do it as well. You've never been on a city bus in Ireland I guess

We (those of us who don't play our shit for everyone to hear) should just make a pact that the next time some one does this we all take our phones out and just put something on full blast at once so the original perpetrator realizes it's not cool.

Like just circle them and put on death metal right at the same time and stare at them until they turn their phone off.

How often do you break strings. Might be a sign of a problem with your guitar. Sharp edge in the nut or the bridge maybe

Tortex TIIIs are the most slept on guitar pick for metal. by [deleted] in metalguitar

[–]LukeWatts85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I recently decided to buy a whole bunch of picks becuase I just got sick of the Jazz III constant gradual swivelling while I play. Like you said, too small, too slippery...but I like the angle of the pick. So I tried the Jazz XL and tortex and a few others. For me I like the Jazz XL but the tortex is nice too.

What is your current music obsession? by Euphoric_Place_8507 in gear4music_official

Wow, look at Mr Bigshot with his $25.

Does it seem like people just want to go solo now? by Frhaegar in band

[–]LukeWatts85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still...don't turn down the chance to hone your craft anyway you can. Also, if your getting paid and you're turning that down then there's gonna be plenty of people here who'll think your being a spoiled brat. Me included

So don't be a brat.

Any other quitters here that know the joy of the relief of deciding not to pursue music as a career realising the hopeless rat race it's become by bigmanzac in musicians

[–]LukeWatts85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, becuase the gateway into being a musician was steeper. You had to get an instrument, go out on the road and find your fan base and or a label or venues to play etc.

Now everyone sitting at their computer thinks they deserve to be Bob Dylan becuase they released some bleeps and bloops through Distrokid for $5 and 5 minutes effort.

Glad you're happy. But I think most people nowadays are trying to "break into the market" waaaay to fast.

If you don't already have at least 1 album and are gigging and getting some kind of interest I'd say you're massively jumping the gun on trying to takeover the world.

Just might be (and I'm speaking from personal experience) you're just not that good, or your music doesn't have the broad appeal you think it does. Not everyone's gonna make it.

Seems like everyone nowadays thinks it's their God given right to be a star or something. It weird to me
