ITT: Bad habits you have as a musician

>>68628863
try to learn songs from different genres

>>68628863
>Playing shitty voicings like 9s or 11s instead of regular chords

>tends to only play the blues scale on guitar because its the only one that sounds good

>>68628863
I dunno if it's a habit, but I have a hard time with passing and leading tones, like in V and altered chords. Guitar fucks a lot of people over this way because the closest voice leading isn't necessarily the most similar chord shape.

>>68628863
i NEVER refer to like, F# as Gb, or Eb as D#, you know what i mean? im so used to certain notes being like, Bb instead of A# that im sure when i make charts for other musicians they think im retarded.

>procrastinating learning new thing
>playing the same riff over and over any time I'm near a bass
>relying on tabs

if I can get away with shitty house strings there is going to be shitty house strings

>Always either looking bored or looking at my hands while I play
I'm a drummer and people say I need to have more stage presence

>>68631093
I do the same in my head, always makes making sheet music for others tough


>always play clean parts with compression and usually reverb

I favor the key of D on guitar. Really gets on my bandmates nerves

>always default to harmonic minor when improvising

>completely avoid open chords if possible

>can't read sheet music unless i take it one measure at a time a slow pace

>studied classical guitar for about 2 years, gave up and completely forgot everything i learned

>guess for notes way too much

>can't understand interesting key changes for the life of me

I want to not suck real bad

I suck ASS at playing any instruments :-(

B is the relative minor to D so that's a good place to start.

Is that bad because you're unfocused? Seems like a good thing.

>>68632058
>can't read sheet music unless I take it one measure at a time at a slow pace

Nothing to be ashamed of, sheet music is hard.

>>68632667
Thanks senpai

>>68632686
Yeah, I get intimidated super easily and I always second guess myself when I try to read the most simple shit.

>Cant come up with anything good when composing.

>>68631277
youre a faggot. Youre a fucking faggot ok?

I can't just focus on one instrument
i've been trying to get good at piano, drums, guitar and saxophone but I can't seem to get significantly better since I always get sidetracked on another instrument.

I also try composing music but I don't work on anything enough to write anything this isn't wrong or hideously basic

>>68633723
What's your recording setup loom like?

>>68628863
>be anywhere
>sudden creative thought
>run to guitar
>start playing other songs

wtf, i can't get anything out of me

>>68631353
Nah man if you play better that way then keep doing it
