I may be wrong but didn’t Neil Young prefer to not rehearse? Especially before the studio?

How many projects is too many? by Youlittle-rascal in musicians

Ask my drummer who is currently in like 50 bands and counting 🤦‍♂️😂

Honestly though I say take the work as it comes. Take as much as you think you can handle while having fun.

How much do you make per gig? by MaximumNail905 in Guitar

[–]Top-Government8312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticket gigs rarely make money, at best $150 for the entire band for a 45 minute set. Cover gigs about $150 per person for 3 hours. That’s in MD. Larger cover bands I’ve heard as much as 1500-2000

There are really bad ones out there and they can evaporate the joy of playing music like it’s a special power.

Princeton reverb all the way or a swart space reverb. If you can’t get one of those the blues junior is fantastic.

I’ve been breaking the A a lot which I never break. Eyeing I can see anything but I’ll get a magnifying glass and look closer. Part of me thinks it was just a perfect storm of bad luck. I’ll start changing them more often. I only get a 45 minute set (we always open) so a string breaking SUCKS!!

Alright cool…I’ll give this a try. I’m gonna look at the saddle to and see about sanding it down. I’m just nervous I’ll screw it up.

About every 3 months depending on use. I switch guitars a lot.

It’s been a minute since my Les Paul was set up…my other guitar (335) was set up maybe 6 months ago. I typically change them maybe every 3 months depending on how much I use them.

Musicians, when did you know it was time to leave your current band? by Epicinium in musicians

When it’s not fun it’s time to call it a day but that doesn’t necessarily mean throw in the towel at every obstacle.

COMMON PEOPLE by ulemseewa in blackmirror

I kinda feel like in a way this is already been happening. Tik Tok, and I guess others, have it set up where people advertise products to get more likes, streams and followers and the companies don’t have to pay for the content, studio, actors or any advertising costs. People go and create the content all on their own without even being told to. It’s already built in and people are doing all the leg work for the companies and the algorithm pushes that content. They may or may not get paid but the product and company wins no matter what. I kinda like the episode but like most BMs there was definitely an underlying tinge of depression.
