Thanks for watching! What other subjects do you want me to discuss on Real Guitar Talk?

@electricurinal 3 дня назад

Appropriate wardrobe. Haha. I've seen the meme where it suggests there is never a time to wear shorts to a gig unless you are Angus Young. Hahaha.

@dalecoffing8655 2 дня назад

Great list kiddo! Have you played in "The Pit" for musicals. You talk about adapting to the music you're playing. That's what playing for musicals is all about. It's too bad there are a lot of really good guitar players but they don't read music well or at all. Some great opportunities to play a lot of different genres. All you talked about has direct application to playing in the pit.

@rinkydinky-ob9pe 3 дня назад

never let anyone borrow your gear who can't afford to replace it , and know where they live , don't trust musicians full stop .

@JackFossett 3 дня назад

I never loan anyone anything. Mostly because I forget I did, and then I wonder where my stuff went.

@Mtn603 2 дня назад

Haha amen. I’ve had great experiences letting folks that I trust use my gear, if they’re new to guitar, and eager to learn. On the other hand, of the two trashiest guys I know, one took a digger and smashed one of my guitars (right in front of me…still a painful memory), and one fell on hard times and sold the guitar I lent him to pay rent. Only one of those incidents was ever made right, and the guilt of taking money from a guy who didn’t have two nickels to rub together was maybe the worst part. He insisted though, so kudos to him. F the other guy…the gear and money are long gone and will remain so…

@johnladdsmusic 2 дня назад

Always play in tune! I played with a guy years ago who never had a tuner on his board. His guitar was always notoriously out of tune. It was driving me nuts at a gig, so I offered to let him plug into my tuner. He said “no this is my style”…it was our last show…

I was in a couple of cover bands in mid/late 70s when jobs grew on trees! It was impossible to manage 5 to 7 young adults between 19 to 25! No cell phones or email and miscues could kill you! Missed practices! Substance issues. The "I already know the set" types that dont want to practice. Even the serious guys started to have family and real paying job issues! It was all fun, but could never count on the income. Any long term successful band I see, I think about how much they got this stuff right and how much hard work made it happen.

@MP_Single_Coil 3 дня назад

I play a mental trick and don’t call it practice. Instead I tell my wife that I’m going to go play guitar. I play every evening after dinner because I enjoy it. When I’m not in the mood to play, I make myself do it anyway. Many times those sessions are the most fun and rewarding.

@ltgray2780 2 дня назад

Pro's practice 'til they don't get it wrong. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse.

@chrisl5156 2 дня назад

Very good advice, thanks. I guess that guy who is too good to rehearse/practice won't be playing with the Rolling Stones any time soon, as they spend a ton of time rehearsing/practicing before each tour. Even now.

@Zephyrwood День назад

Don’t work for free. Even when it feels like a favor, it rarely stays that way. Your time and expertise are worth something. Don’t let anyone take advantage of that.

@bobbyadamson2333 2 дня назад

I once had a drummer in a new live thing I was doing tell us after 5 rehearsals that he “finally listened to the tunes after the last one”. This fool was coming to practice and just bullshittin he hadn’t even heard the songs.

@JamieMeyerArtist 2 дня назад

Very cool! Not a lot of people talk about the common sense aspect! The only thing left if you take all the pedals and effects away, is the human being behind the guitar.

You only need a fog machine. NOTHING ushers in the presence of the Holy Spirit more than a fog machine…well…maybe lasers…oh…and a Strymon Big Sky reverb.

@JimMorrisonsBathtub 3 дня назад

My unsolicited advice for worship team musicians is you do not need a Dusenberg or a Gretsch White Falcon or any other kind of guitar because guitars do not belong at mass you need an organ or if you're ultra based a harpsichord

@JimMorrisonsBathtub 3 дня назад

It's funny that you used Tom Brady as an example of how you can never be too good to practice because the first thing I thought of when you said you said don't ever think you're too good to practice was how Manny Ramirez used to hit off of a tee. I've only played guitar in the presence of other people a couple times in my life and I probably won't ever have much of a chance to do that again and I still practice because I think it's fun but if I was a professional I would almost feel obligated to practice no matter how good I got because I'd always want to give my audience as much value for their time and money as I possibly could. And it's a shame what happened to Andy Katzenmoyer's neck he would've been special

I get being too loud, but..there is a certain volume that my amp has to be to get what I want from it.

@michelleneeds4165 2 дня назад

If that volume is too loud for the stages you're playing then maybe get a smaller amp? I love valve amps too but in modern live music there is very little need for a Marshall full stack or even half stack besides visual appeal.

@jaywells5283 2 дня назад

Okay Jack, good stuff, but let’s be honest, Tom Brady wasn’t just good, he was Jesus’s cousin so he sat at the left hand of the good lord! Hahahahaha Brady is the shit! He still goes out and does, and busts his ass doing it! He’s the man! But next time, add Edelman to that! Hahaha

When in a shop and these geezers (owners) blasting amps at volumes I wanna leave... As geezers (shop owners) not listening to what you ask for (they got better margins on the stuff I do not want 😅). Geezers complaining about Boss and Fender (no complaining about Gibson since nobody carries them at proximity 😂).

@perunasoffa9694 3 дня назад

Things you should NEVER do. Well, there is one thing you should never do, and that is: never listen to what another mediocre guitar player says. Heck, don't even listen what an old guitar hero tells you to not do. They all play by the book that's already been written, and we all are tired of that book. There is only one rule: Write your own book!

@brotherhawk3228 3 дня назад

You are right ! Wright your own story . But we should listen ! We were given 2 ears and only 1 mouth . So we should listen twice as much as we speak . We never know when a seed gets planted! Everyone has something to teach .
