Go out and meet musicians. It's what I'm trying (and failing) to do.

What's a tremolo?

So I want to get an acoustic lads

What am I looking at financially for a decent one, and what brand should I get?

>>35053267
I'd recommend an Ibanez steel string. Mine cost me $100.

trying to do that, but when anything rock related comes here is mostly either a cover band or low-key reggue (how I call it). Oh well, such is life

>>35053245
bait

>>35053372
It's not bait. What's a tremolo?

>>35053429
you see that bar at the end of the guitar? that's a tremolo

>>35053468
I'm confused. How was he waving it?

>Can only play by ear

>Try playing an improv thing in town
>Tell the person orchestrating the thing that I can't read music after he tells me to play some random note

LITERALLY JUST FUCK ME UP This literally turned me away from playing live ever again.

Here's me playing one of my songs with some friends.

I'm slowly uploading videos of myself playing but for the time being go to basementvacation.bandcamp.com and click on "Pete's songs" for more of my stuff I'm Pete.

how would you even begin to do this?
Maybe there just isn't much of a music scene where I live but this kind of advice is "be yourself" level

Find amateur gigs and try talking with the band. Go to music stores and rub shoulders with people who are playing. Put up fliers. Just talk to them and be yourself.

>>35052983
>Prog rock
Like what anon?

>>35054376
>just talk to them

I'm a pretty good guitarist but I'm too autistic to start a band even though I was in a couple in high school.

>>35053861
But, you can. It's hard yeah but it helps. Sounds like you're just being a bitch desu.

>Interested in music
>Cant to create something that'll prove my existence
>Can't afford to buy an instrument
Being a poorfag is suffering.

>>35055689
Want to create*
Shit

>>35055611
I agree that it's not all that hard to learn to read music, but if he doesn't know how you can't just say "actually you can." It's literally another language, and if you don't know, you don't know.

>>35055689
Torrent ableton and make some beats while you save up your pennies to buy some second hand gear.
The best musicians don't need the best gear to be good.

>indie shit
DROPPED

>>35053861

what do you play, anon? playing by ear is a valuable skill. I do the same thing, but I play guitar so it's not a big deal.

>>35053914
saw you in one of the other threads
keep shilling, my dude
it's actually p good shit

>used to be motivated to make music
>haven't recorded anything in over 6 years
>have to relearn my daw
>can't get myself to practice guitar even for just a half hour a day

I used to be somewhat decent and I could have been pretty good by now had I kept with it.

any of you wanna be in a band with me?

>try and make an album when I was younger
>spend two and a half years on songs
>only have four barely finished and the rest I put off coming back to
>it all sounds terrible but the only enjoyable part is the sentiment I have in them

It's still fun to go back and listen to them though
>>35053676
