Should probably mention a few things:
1> he has some sort of psychiatric condition he wont tell anyone about, but he's heavily medicated according to his parents
2> he dropped out of college at 17 because of the condition and worked his way back in at 19
3> he is now 20 and I don't want him working as a night time security guard.

Anyone at all?

He's really not horrible at guitar but everyone's gotta have a hobby man.

Besides advising him that he should keep music as a hobby you can't really force him to do anything, in the end if he feels strongly enough he'll do what he wants

hey this is actually pretty good

Let's not get ahead of ourselves dude if this guy's been playing more than a year he's really shitty

>>17651240
Haven't tried the hobby approach, thank you. He can be a student and play guitar as a side thing after all.

Coming from someone who's been playing 6 yrs and been in a bunch of bands: his barring is sloppy and it makes it buzz, and I also recommend he works on some scales and for god sakes tell him to get singing lessons his voice is straight from his nose.

I'm also the guy who suggested the hobby thing, show him numbers on how many professional musicians make it, I can tell you since I work with a bunch of musicians that even the ones who went to school for it get paid like 15 bucks an hour teaching and that's a good break for them.

Damn, better than i expected given the comments.

He is fairly decent at guitar, he needs a lot of work on rhythm and anon is right that is barring is sloppy. As a trained singer of 5 years i can definitely say that he has potential. He positions his notes high and in the nose, which is backwards for low notes. And the range of that song is non-existant. Without learning music theory, having both singing and guitar teachers, he wont progress quickly enough to make a living from it.

He has potential, definitely should continue the music. I would honestly say from a singing point of view that he is better than like half the kids i saw improve over a year, and they had pro teachers. So, he is decent, but a diamond still very much in the rough.

Anon that mentioned the barring here

He's good as far as every day dude with a guitar deal but I was critiquing as far as being a professional musician

>>17651371
honestly you don't need to be that good to make it. look at kid cudi, sings off key and not that good at guitar/making beats. still famous

>>17650974
Find a way to get him on stage, and pay some hecklers to boo him off.

That'll cure his love of music.

he sounds like a nasally, living, breathing meme

>>17650974
You sound like a great friend desu

>>17651865
