What are some of the things that most inspire you to play and/or write music?
4 Comments
Beauty and some thoughts that are hard to speak. It’s basically necessity for expression. Music gives me all the liberty that I need 😀
I love look at the sky and somehow I fell connected.
When I heard Appetite for Destruction it was the most amazing thing I have ever heard.
Still, I think like Patrick, it’s something inside that drives me to do it (play guitar or sing).

How would you name the social media accounts for a music project, when the 1:1 version is already taken? Would you go with:
– project_official
– project_band
– project_musicor something else? This is currently more of a solo effort, though any live performances would require a band. I’m personally leaning towards the project_music, but…Read More

I would tend to go with ProjectOfficial or project-official next.
I would not want to use the _ character as users tend to not remember that and there may be times you’re telling people and they’re not reading something and there’s also the fact that some people may see something and not do it immediately and rely on memory. There’s been a lot…Read More

Got it, no pressing enter while typing without pressing shift, too. And edit doesn’t work on Firefox, it seems.
Anyway, like I was saying, I was focusing more on the suffix, but I suppose I should consider the separator, too. The “official” feels like something that big names use when there are dozens of unofficial accounts. It also feels like I…Read More
Generally they say to avoid the underscore, and also the dot. RealProject would be another good alternative. Only 4 extra characters, looks professional and generic if Project switches to something else so it will still work. Character length is an issue on some platforms, like Twitter allows only 16, if your like say ProjectSeven that’s already…Read More

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).3 Comments-
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 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?

Talented songwriters. I love a lot of different styles of music, and have loved The Eagles since I was s kid.
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.

Karla Bonoff, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

Welcome to Simeon AKA @praisetracks
Like many others, I enjoy watching Simeon’s YouTube videos, especially when he goes on little musical tangents — playing familiar classics. Because the man can really play! Then I purchase the same libraries and think to myself, “Wait… something’s different. Hold on, I know. It sounded awesome when Simeon…Read More1 Comment
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,

Wait, you don’t like Queen? Unfriended!
I kid, I kid. But Queen was awesome.
I became a Rush fan in HS and stayed one since.

I don’t know what it is with Queen, but I don’t really enjoy listening to their music for fun and pleasure. Strange, but that’s me.

Music is art. It’s subjective. I was just having a little fun with you and even more fun with Kiss fans. My tastes are pretty wide. My kids were shocked that I like some Rhianna and country songs and kid me about me.

Back in the day, REO Speedwagon and, for the most part, Van Halen. These bands were really popular when I was in HS. Add Kiss to the list a little earlier. Just plain terrible, IMO. I still won’t forget the day my closest cousin — who was like a brother — told me at around age 13, that he decided that Kiss was a better band than Zeppelin.…Read More

1, Hole: for some reason everyone was crazy about Hole and I just couldn’t get into it.

But when the 3rd…Read More-
I would side with you regarding Hole and Boston.

I agree. Do you remember when he was briefly with the RHCP and fans hated on him? I always felt bad for the guy.

He was great in the peppers, that could have been awesome if they would have given it more time. too bad that didn’t work out.
