So, I'm curious about how your buddy busks with a piano.
We live in a pretty small town that's also a tourist hotspot on the weekends, and he lives almost next-door to where we busk, so he pretty much just wheels it out of the door.

Topic: Busking with a pianist (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I've been busking for a fairly long time now, and my friend who is a pianist want to play with me tomorrow. Only problem is that whenever I play with fellow buskers it always seems to fail, and end with a very little ammount of money between us both. I attribute this partially to the songs we play, as I rarely play duets with my friends when we busk, as neither of us know very many. So, have any of you got any ideas for duets for a keyboard and an acoustic guitar?

Topic: Bad Busking Experience (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
About two weeks ago, I went busking. I usually go on Sundays, and normally I rack up about $50 for an hours worth of playing. This time I was there for three hours and it started raining.
I made 10 dollars, even though there was about 150 people around.
I was left feeling awful about myself, and my skill as a guitar player. Anyone had a worse time than me busking?

Re: Not a song but I DO need advice (7 replies, posted in Songwriting)
to be perfectly honest it is not tasteful, nor good. It is about a friend of mine who asked me to write him a song so i wrote "Alastair is Gay."
I don't like the fact that i wrote something so tasteless, and I like it less that people like it.

I wrote a song, and I was in class today and my friend started playing it on his phone...now i went really red and on the brink of tears from embarressment because i dislike my singing. I've been told it's good, but is it okay to ask people not to play it because I'm not happy with it?

Topic: A rut (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
i'm sort of stuck in a rut here, I love playing guitar and I love music, but lately every time I pick my guitar up I just feel so uninspired to play (Mabye it's 'cos I've played every song in my song books) I play a lot of Bealtes stuff, but it just doesn't seem to be enough to make me WANT to play! Any suggestions how to get past this?

I don't really know what this is about...It just popped in my head.
Suggestions, Comments, anything I would appreciate.

Re: The reason a lot of kids have started playing... (60 replies, posted in Electric)
I think this is true, personally, hip hop, techno and rap just doesn't feel like music to me It's just a lot of beeps.
Guitar requires more skill than clicking buttons for noise.
