Guitar Heroes?
Everybody has their own reasons, but I chose playing guitar because I thought it looked so cool. I remember seeing Slash in the November Rain video and thinking he looked so damn cool, and I wanted to learn to do what he was doing. So my question to you is this; what are the top 3 guitar players that made you want to pick up a guitar and learn how to play? Mine are Slash, EVH, and probably Synyster Gates. I suspect it will be a variety of guitar heroes, so sound off who made you want to play!

I can't really answer this with guitar heroes... Well... As I sit here and think about it... It was Willie Nelson when I was 4 or 5 that first inspired me to do music. I always wanted more to sing though, I didn't start playing guitar to play guitar. I started playing guitar to write my own songs or make my own covers...

What's the most unusual place you've ever played guitar?
Thought this might be a fun question with maybe some surprising answers. What's the most unusual place you've ever played the guitar? For me it was in the forecastle of an aircraft carrier.

Great topic, I've thought long and hard about it, and can't remember a place I feel worthy... So I've decided to make it a challenge and come back with a story

@Robert Patram crazy... I had to look up the Styx version, thought you had mixed up your bands, lol. Black Sabbath wrote a song called Snowblind (that I'm certain was about cocaine) but now I know Styx did too (pretty sure that's about cocaine too, I agree...)

Do You Record Yourself Playing?
I do, for two reasons. 1. I'm a noodler. That is, I just mess around until I find something I like, then I build on it. When I do find something I like, recording it helps me to remember it the next day, or months later when I've moved on. 2. Playing can sound different inside your own head than it does on a recording. By recording yourself you may hear things you didn't notice while playing. It can help identify rough spots in your playing so you can improve. That's useful at every skill level. Bonus Reason: You may even discover you're doing better than you thought. 🙂

I record myself all the time. It often helps me to hear the crap I create and teaches me where I need to be more precise. I'm a singer/songwriter type, definitely not a true guitarist. I've learned well how to use

Long but good weekend
Talk about covering all my bases! This weekend my duo played at a Boutique/Bar on Friday night, a ceremony/cocktail hour for a wedding Saturday night and a church service/hour set of country music at a local festival this morning. For those who gig, one thing I suggest is being flexible and learning lots of material. Because we can play so many different genres, it allows us to book 3 completely different gigs in one weekend alone!

I both agree, and disagree. Widening ones horizons is never really a bad idea. Honestly, if you want to make a living with music as a musician that isn't famous... The more you can play the more you can play/earn. Myself... I understand that I'll never be famous, that only a few will ever care to listen. I accept my fate, I make music for me. When others like what I make, I'm happy, when they don't, I'm still happy... As long as I like what I created, that's good enough for me.

AI and Music
Not trying to start a pro- or anti-AI war here, but… Recent surveys suggest that somewhere between 48% and 87% of working/independent musicians are using AI in some part of their process, depending on who was surveyed. (Ditto Music 48%, LANDR 87%) I get why some musicians don't like fully AI-generated songs—lyrics, music, vocals, arrangement, etc. Simply writing a prompt doesn't make one a songwriter or musician. But there are a lot of ways to use AI without having it create the song for you. It can help with lyrics, ideas, learning, or even let a solo artist fill in instruments they don't play. What's harder for me to understand is the idea that any use of AI somehow makes the music less legitimate. So, whether you're a beginner or have been playing for decades: Do you use AI at all in your musical process? If so, what do you use it for? Not looking to change anybody's mind. I'm just curious where other guitar players draw the line.

Honestly speaking... I hate AI songs. No soul. However, using AI as a starter point on an idea (if you can find an idea worth using) can be helpful. Using AI to separate stems on a song you want to create can be useful.. I haven't been able to try an AI tool that (in my mind) would be very useful yet... I WILL say that I have created a song (well... The instrumental is finished at least) that began as an idea from AI, however only a person that knows music would be able to pick out what I used from AI and what I created from it. Personally, I don't feel that AI can create music worth hearing. The artificial sound, too perfect, and lack of real emotion and true human imperfection, make AI music... Bland... However, once it is stream-lined and built for musicians as a tool, not a do-it-for-you crutch for people that want to make music but can't put the effort in to learn how.... I think it'll be a powerful way to help songwriters. My honest thoughts are that AI right now is advertised as a tool to make every single person out there think they can be a musician... The problem is that nothing original will ever come from AI completely... Not as AI is now (which I don't honestly believe is true artificial intelligence). AI as is, is simply a well done copy of true intelligence. 🤷🏼♂️
