    I wanted to take some time out to show my appreciation and acknowledge some of the members of the community who have pitched in and epitomized the values I had envisioned for this community, a place committed to being the friendliest, most helpful and welcoming community of its kind.

    Have you experienced this ZEN state after practicing your instrument for like more than 20/30 minutes, so focused, non stop?
    I love it and at some point experiencing it, it’s like you don’t exist anymore (scary thought but it’s awesome).

      I’ve felt that experience more when playing with other musicians. While I have been doing multitrack recordings since I was a kid, playing alone never came close to the experience of playing with other musicians. I think the closest I’ve come since tendonitis stopped my ability to play with other musicians — as I often can’t get through a minute…Read More

      Aw, well, this feeling I have experienced is out of this world. Focusing on a riff for like 20/30 minutes without thinking is awesome. You don’t even think if you are doing it right or wrong, what finger goes to what fret, if you press it hard or soft. You just play and play and play. One of the best feelings I have experienced. Also, it motivates…Read More

      It may come as a shock, but Dave Grohl cites Andrew Gold as one of his all-time favorite songwriters, responsible for what he considers the greatest songs ever written.

      We can thank @fleer for the fact that we’re using these emoji reactions. I originally used an up and down voting system and Fleer made the case for having these kind of reaction emojis and I quickly realized that he was right. I then interviewed each member of my family — except our cat — and everyone agreed that…Read More

    As the early adopters AKA beta testers of LinkedMusicians,, you’re seeing the site evolve pretty quickly as I’m testing what engages you and what doesn’t.

    I knew when setting this site up that the forum would be easy for everyone to adjust to and the social media walls / GROUPS would take more time. All along, I had this one recurring thought:…Read More

      We really should embrace the whole Cakewalk Forum banning any references to LinkedMusicians while allowing people to post links to every KVR, Gearspace, VI Control — and a bunch of affiliate marketing links. I thought BandLab was out of Singapore. I guess they must have relocated to North Korea. It takes some truly awful decision-making to end up…Read More

    I was talking with a friend and talked about LinkedMusicians. He asked for a clarification on what I meant by “it’s an online community of musicians.” I explained, it’s basically Facebook for musicians with forums focused on sharing deals, tutorials, documentaries, gear and music production. How would you describe it?

      I saw him about two years ago and was fortunate enough to get his set list from the stage where he left it (I was in the front row) He came out after and signed albums/CDs he was selling and was very gracius. He was scheduled to tour this fall with Karla Bonoff.

      Peter,
      I am so glad to be here.
      I have been moving some furniture in and doing some decorating to the new place but from what I see so far, this is going to be a very wonderful place for all of us to meet and share our love for music and inspiring others.

      Joyfully yours,
