Sometimes you just don't musically gel with someone. You being a poor untalented loser doesn't have anything to do with it.

you mean you can't practice a miserable 2 hours every day?
Camden Foster
U got hopped up on nervous once u saw his digs Couldn't play for shit U think u can't do it? Then u can't... Sunk just like that This is A real Bad way to say You're gay And might as well KYS today
David Thomas
No, it isnt. That’s why God created noise rock
Luis Green
its okay user, he's making soulless wank and you have life experiences you can put into music that someone could actually relate to
Hudson Ross
Are you sure you didnt overreact to his face or something
Jaxon Young
It seems like I’m not making progress, this guy has been in lessons since childhood. My fingers just can’t keep up, even after 5 years of 2-4 hour practice intervals, I started too late
Jose Morris
garantee you don't practice 2 hours a day.
Like look at your phone with a guitar in your lap? read sheet music? tune and clean your guitar.
If you actually practice 2 hours a day you'd be an extreme outlier and post music pls.
OP you just gotta practice a tiny bit everyday and ur ahead of 50% of musicians lol
Andrew Rivera
lmao...5 years of 2-4 hour sessions and your FINGERS are the problem? You are lying, practice poorly, or have terrible genetics.
Eli Roberts
why do you find it so unbelievable that someone could practice 2 hours a day?
Josiah Perez
15 minutes a day for 5 years would yield your FINGERS everything they need. Now as to your sense, mind, feel...These are different. Lessons are lessons, many ppl take em and still suck. The ones who benefit PRACTICE on their own. And while it's better to have a guide so u can have feedback on yr learning...it can also be a negative if it's a bad match. Anyway, you are very defeatist, and wish to simmer in resentment. U may do this, but u will only simmer cold as time goes. Until some demagogue heats u, as part of that cruel mass. Ah, how crass for some1 who wishes to make MUSIC.
Matthew Gray
How the fuck am I supposed to practice then? maaaaan fuck this, fuck ya’ll privileged ass white kids, fuck your yacht rock upper middle class dads who bought you rigs when you were 3, fuck you mediocre nepotism fags getting studio time for free, fuck you crabs in the bucket mentality ass poorfags too. Fuck everything I quit
Liam Hernandez
>waaaaaaaah privilege waaaaaaaaah shut the fuck up you fucking baby
Carson Miller
lol it's very conceivable, it's just there's so many shit musicians in my scene who brag about practicing 4 hours a day and are way worse than me who practices about an hour a day. So I just don't believe anybody lol.
Julian Hill
FILTERED I will find that rich kid and give him a CHEQUE For getting u out ^_^
James Hall
>How the fuck am I supposed to practice then? just fucking learn songs and play then along the recording until you can play them on time without fucking up.
fair enough. i began playing guitar in december and i am currently unemployed so i "practice" 4 hours a day but mostly it's 1h30 to 2 hours a day of actual practice, the remaining time i just dick around or write my own stuff. i wish i could post my playing but i only record my riffs, never my practice sessions and it's currently night where i live so i can't record anything new.
Jackson Peterson
>It seems like I’m not making progress, this guy has been in lessons since childhood The guys that take lessons are the ones that never make progress. They may have studio chops, but do you want to be a studio legend or a real life rock guitarist?
Lessons and music school absolutely crush any hint of originality in your playing. Keep playing, you will go through plateaus naturally. Play out of them and you will reach better heights.
Do you think the jazz greats thought “oh now I will do a Mixolydian run”? No they played with their guts.
Elijah Cruz
aha nice. Best of progress to you!
I would consider writting some of the best practice so it sounds like you were right and I was wrong.
