Re: You Know your a Musician

you know you're a musician... when you spent 8 times as much on your two guitars then on your car... I did.
but i'm 17, so its a cheap car

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know you're a musician when selling your car, giving away your motorcycle and leaving all your friends and family behind are just bearable...as long as you have your guitar.

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know you're a musician when you sell your best leather jacket to buy your guitar a new case.

Re: You Know your a Musician

you know your a musician when you're at social gatherings where you'd normally be having a great time and all you can think about is... "I'd rather be playing my guitar right now and getting that darn song down!"

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Re: You Know your a Musician

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know you're a musician when you..................make music?

I would have said "play music" but pressing a button on a cd or mp3 player does not make you a musician.

Keep Rockin!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know...when....you've just played the best solo of your life for a song that is everyone's favorite. The crowd is cheering. You are stoked at your amazing performance when you finally realize that the home team has just scored on the big screen above the bar and that, in fact, no one is listening, or even care's that you are there...

Re: You Know your a Musician

when you realize you have more guitar picks than change in your change purse.(Am I the only one to still carry one of these?)

You are, but you won't be for long.  That looks like a great way to carry picks.  I'm going to have to drive up to the mountains and back some long-forgotten roads to find a general store or five and dime that has one I can purchase.

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know you are a musician when you don't waste your time or energy trying to fret about useless things like "Nourishment" and "Cleanliness" to focus on the all important and tedious process of finding colour tones that match the feel of your shirt in the sun, or that tree over there in the breeze  dancing around like a fae.

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know you're a musician, particularly a classical guitarist, when your worst nightmares usually involve breaking a fingernail on your right hand!!!
I've had two such dreams, they were truly horrible

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know your a musician when you always carry a pick in your pocket, cause you never when you might come upon a guitar that needs picking.... And deadstring I have one of those change purses full of picks, but I don't put change in it, might mess up the picks...lol

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know you're a musician when all you want to do is play your guitar even though you are laid up in bed with a bad leg. Happening to me now. Deadstring I used to have a few of those as a kid and lost them over the years. I use the zippy ones now.

Re: You Know your a Musician

You know . . . when you're driving in your car listening to the radio, and a song you can somewhat play on the guitar comes on.  You are listening intently when your wife asks:  "What's wrong with your hand?"

You look down and realize that you're making "air chords" with your fretting hand along with the song.

You know your a musician when friends have their "favorite songs" you play
