My biggest problem in the Music business as a musician is that everybody has lost the art of being themselves everybody wants to be like everybody else. It’s like there’s no more individual personalities anymore and it’s really bothersome.
Music has become competition rather than an artistic expression. I think it all starts in grade school with auditions. Nowadays with guitar it's all about speed. To get to the level of proficiency of the fastest shredder takes practicing most of your waking hours, just to shred arpeggios and scales like a machine. It's really sad.
I agree, and that's why I, as an autistic black lead guitarist in a rock band, dare to be as me as possible. In the way I act, in the way I play, in how I live my life.
Having a good attitude being able to understand the direction the MD wants to run the set, be on time, and being able to take constructive criticism also having a sense of improvisation when unrehearsed situations arise
Who is John Galt? Check out "Atlas Shrugged". Although "Tom Sawyer" was written by Neil Peart (RIP), he effectively later apologized for thinking outside the box. The fact is that he was inspired (by the author), wrote a classic song while becoming an iconic drummer, then relented to the 'woke folk' - his respect was not only earned, it was due... in retrospect, he submitted a most unnecessary digression and ended up representing what he started out by trying to warn us all about. czcams.com/video/DuBPbVANIE8/video.html 😎
@JustBGuz “Woke folk” is a boogeyman. Doesn’t exist. Stop letting fear mess with your career, because calling people “woke” automatically means you’re gonna be a flight risk if I hire you.
Giving that much of your time for random people online like myself, speaks a lot about your dedication and professionalism. Thanks for your time and information and also thanks for the "agteement" downloads.
Very good feedback man the hardest part of success is what we tend to not think about be yourself your own style and confidenence and networking being yourself is important
10 minutes into the video, i'd actually love to see a pscychiatrist talking about stage fright and its nature in case of seasoned musicians. i personally never understood the root cause, but that's of course, because i only had it rarely and in very light forms. what you say seems to be a logical approach, that the lack of preparedness might induce it, however in my experience unprepared musicians rather tend to turn down their volume knobs a little bit and try to stay more in the background, but it looks more like a hiding game mixed with some shame than stage fright. on the other hand the drummer with whom i played the longest with and we basically had the very same musical route has stage fright up until this very day, even after playing in front of crowds as big as 10.000 people and even though in almost every band, in which we played, he was by far the highest qualified musician. although i've also seen the type that you described, like the one without the required hours put in, but i'd be just curious why it happens how it happens and how those who have it can overcome it, if at all possible. interesting topic
Hi Terence! I know in this video and others you have out you speak to the importance of social media presence. I’m going to keep looking on your channel, but how does someone playing only covers get material on CZcams without receiving strikes, claims, and potential removal due to copyright policies? Is contacting and receiving permission from the artist/creator the only way? If so, how would one even go about pursuing that? Thanks, and love your channel. 👍
So a copyright strike isn't necessarily a negative thing. It just means you won't receive money yourself for those streams. It's pretty rare that a cover will get taken completely down. If your goal is just to get exposure then that could be fine in your situation. I have covers on my band's channel that have strikes on them, but I'm okay with that because it allows us to be seen.
@@billweir1745 Got it, and that’s clear . Actually for me it is more about a hosting mechanism for my covers, and actually I’ve found another alternative and it seems it will be fine. I really appreciate you sharing your own experience. You’ve helped me more whether here or user groups elsewhere. So is the 3 strikes and you’re canned from CZcams just a surface policy where they don’t really do anything unless you’re generating money? Thanks again!
@@Andy1x So I think a strike is where the owner does not want it to be used on CZcams. I've never ran into that. What I have gotten mostly is a content ID claim. I don't think you will get a strike unless you are just posting their songs or music videos as your own in order to monetize it. If you are simply posting covers it really shouldn't be an issue unless the artist or publisher are very aggressive. If you see other people doing covers of the same material as you, or by the same artists, I really wouldn't worry that much about it. Sorry for the confusion.
@@billweir1745 So it’s weird, hopefully not repeating myself but I did upload a couple covers as a test and immediately a strike + was displayed. That would make sense as I understand CZcams relies on a sophisticated process that is automated…software based. I took them down immediately. That said, for now at least I don’t need to rely on CZcams if I decide to post covers. I’m getting the impression though that many other post covers with no repercussions. Thanks again for all your info. 👍
There is no respect anymore the church just doesn’t care for for their musicians you are either in or out trust me if you don’t make the cut you are done so sad and they don’t want know you anymore real sad total idiots I feel so bad do the musicians

Totally agreed. This is a problem. There is no genuine identity.

To get to the level of proficiency of the fastest shredder takes practicing most of your waking hours, just to shred arpeggios and scales like a machine. It's really sad.
I'm genuine. Please, have a look into my music
Can’t really relate. There’s some characters in the Coachella valley / Morongo basin
I agree, and that's why I, as an autistic black lead guitarist in a rock band, dare to be as me as possible. In the way I act, in the way I play, in how I live my life.
"Be authentic.... Be WHO YOU ARE" ❤️
Love it when you talk about musicans talking about people they've played with, WHO CARES!

Go back to school for music. Learn all you can. Keep a open mind
Eh, that’s a lot of money to pay for something you can learn with CZcams
Withable isn't a word, is it? 😅
Dislikely...😅
