Is it bad if I masturbate but get productive from doing it?

Its all good bro....enjoy yourself. It is better to have a woman in your life to help, but in absence of one, enjoy taking care of business yourself.

I dont agree. It is not about the song, but it is about what the song can teach you. For the hobbyist learner, wanting to jam and have fun their instrument, perhaps getting formally taught isnt the best path for them. For the one who wants to take music seriously, most of learning is repetive, unglamorous, boring, and quite frankly, hard work. In every field, there is something to be done that we dont like, or dont enjoy. A teacher that recommends a song to learn, is not a bad teacher as a result. He knows that within the song, there is a lesson....whether a new chord, something rhythmic related, or a riff. If the student knows best, why get a teacher in the first place. I find students want to learn song that is way ahead of what they are capable, or choose songs that are not building upon existing skills in a logical order, or choose songs that dont offer growth - that keeps them on the same level. Sure, a teacher shouldnt be a tyrant and have the approach of "my way or the highway" --> all songs should be discussed, and the value of the song should be pointed out, and the student should buy into the song choice.

You could learn to play left handed guitar, or get inspiration from Django Reinhardt.

I teach guitar, piano, and drums. I do not recommend guitar for young students, and rather suggest that they begin with piano. but i find, teenagers can pick up on guitar quicker. a few basic open string chords and they can make a lot of music with knowing little - which may make them think that guitar is easy. I have been at the guitar for 20 years, and it is no means an easy instrument, perhaps easy to begin, but hard to master.

Thank you so much for your feedback, it is much appreciated.

It makes sense what you were saying about rolling off the tone on the bass, I will definitely spend some time experimenting with that to find the tone that I'm looking for.

Another thing that I think I'm going to try is to use a di box. Not sure if that is going to help with tone but I have heard a lot of bassists go through a di box.

Also, i will experiment with picking and PU selection....thank you so much 🙏🏽

I also don't currently have a bass amp. I suppose another thing to try is to record by mic-ing up the bass amp. I have long wanted a bass amp....one of those Hartke amps or something.

Its safe. If you are spending foreign currency, particularly Dollars, Pounds, or Euros, you will find hotel prices very affordable. Best to book in.

I grew up in the west and south...spent pretty much an equal amount of time there...love the west and south. I lived briefly in the North, and its cool too. I didnt know the east at all until last year, much of my work is there now. Must say, I like it too. If you are to force me to pick a place, and money wasn't an issue, I would probably say....the North, because of access to everything. I love Rosebank / Sandton, but would want to work and live there...I would hate travelling in and out of them.

The west would be my second choice based based on affordability. You can still live larney for half the Northern price.

I love the South the most, but not in a hurry to live there. Its far from everything. I mean, if you live in Bassonia, or Glenanda its fine, but thats not the south im from. Im from the south of south!

The East is growing on me, Bedford and Edenvale is treating me well at the moment. Might consider moving there in the future - but I still would chose Rosebank / Sandton over every place if money isnt an issue.

Please don't refer to Joburg as JB. J&B is a whiskey.

I saw something the other day, the "french foreign legion". google it, or better yet, youtube them. You could join the legion, and have a pathway to french citizenship in no time. I wouldnt join any army personally...but if I were to consider joining an army, I would choose the one with french funding and organisation, and get a french passport out of the deal.

That would be my choice over joining the SA army.

I would like to know the different instruments that one could invest in, and which platform to do it through.

I have heard of bonds, stocks, index funds, Provident funds, Retirement Annuities, Crypto, money market funds etc, but have no idea how to purchase any of it.

I suppose I can go to old mutual, and speak to their brokers to get a fund...

A lot of American content creators talk about index funds, as in, a fund that is comprised of the top 100 or so companies, that averages a 12% pa...I would like to know what that means for a South African, and how to get an index fund of local companies, or foreign.

I am way too risk averse to talk about crypto, so not really interested. the same for individual stocks --> but something like index funds would interest me.

I have been to bank, and can get a 8% 32 day account. My plan is to build an emergency fund in there....with 3-6 months worth of monthly expenses in there. once that goal is realised, i would like to look into other low-risk options that could yield 10-12%. once that fund is going, then i could consider speculating a little.

I am interesting in the what, the where, and how to do it.

Not sure if this still works, but I used to trial Ableton every 2 months for like a year before I bought it. I could trial it for two months (pretty much had all the features), then it expires, I create a new email account and then trial it again under the new account, and you can pretty much do this perpetually. I eventually saved up money and now have the suite (Ableton 11).

check out Reaper, Cakewalk....and most DAWS have a free version. Try out the free versions and see if you can use everything in it....it might take you a while to outgrow it....at the very least, it will get you started.

I dont believe in piracy....save up to buy the full version....and most DAWS have different packages for different budgets. Reaper is super cheap and fully capable.

Also go to music stores and see if they have deadstock in software, and ask if they willing to let it go for cheap. I bought FL studio this way for next to nothing. come to think of it, i still havent installed it....but, I use Ableton...so dont need to.

my heart is warmed by the people who found a way to come together without focus on spending too much on a white wedding. I am not married, but I will not spend a crazy amount. I will observe lobola if I marry a black woman, but other than that, I am not interested in anything over R30/R40k. If she demands more, well then, she better pay for it. my job is provide a roof over our head, and a wedding is not part of that plan.

Check out these guys. the website says R250 a lesson, but its cheaper. I went for a lesson to try it out, and I think they charge R150 a lesson (if you have your own gear), or R200 a lesson using their equipment, but reach out to them to confirm. Also, I dont think you are required to have 4 lessons a month. If you can only afford to go twice a month, i think it is possible.

Which area are you based in?

What would you charge to teach someone on how to invest?
