A Question For Musicians

Make a tutorial video, please?
I would but the issue is that, if I died I would be missed.

Can you say the same? and no, spergs that are your online friends don’t count.

Step outside your rat and cockroach infested shitheap of an apartment and spend some time around normal people and maybe you’ll realise you’re an embarrasing disgrace you wrinkled dishevelled pedo dogfucker.

I’m going to say one more nice thing.

If you keep at Sax, there’s a possibility you can eventually get better, like over time. If you haven’t improved in the last 50 years don’t get discouraged, music can actually be kind of hard. Like I said about the Accordion, I really shouldn’t have quit playing. It was too big for my body as a kid but I guarantee you I still have it somewhere at my parents in my old room. You did a good deed by reminding me of it and I plan to grab it this weekend when I visit. I’m not going to post any videos about me playing it at all and I will probably suck for a year or two, but I do want to thank you for reminding me I have this antique accordion from Czechia laying around that would be kinda cool to play.

Sax isn’t easy from what I know. Some of the notes can be hard to hit just right, I do know it’s a reed instrument and if you don’t regularly change out the reed that can also fuck with your sound. Get a good case and a few reeds for it. If it’s rusted at all you may want to consider using some gem money to get a new one and sell the old one. It’s funny because I actually asked a cousin who does play Sax about this specifically because you posted about it. I certainly didn’t say I was talking to you specifically but I did want to educate myself about Sax. That was the rundown I got, again I hope it helps.

Anyway just food for thought.
 
"I've had really well tuned guitars handed to me that just flew under my fingers until i had ripped the pads off all my fingertips, but i can't consciously play the thing"

I have played guitar for over a decade and this has literally never happened to me and should never happen.
i know a few people who have done it.
It flew under his fingers like an 11 year old doing a shitty EVH impression; the complete opposite of SRV, in terms of talent.
lol. it was actually a shitty Sonny Zorro interpretation. Sonny claimed to have been Jimi Hendrix' teacher.

it takes a real special kind of stupid to not see the obvious and would believe such outlandish bullshit about me. If you ever realized how stupid you are, you would kill yourself in shame, but you're too stupid to even realize that you're stupid.
 
Tom wanna join my black metal band? Your shrieking could be put to good use.
I'd actually love to see Tommie start a band with Varg. They're both ecohippies and political dissidents; they could maybe do a concept album about the joys of permaculture or something?

Who are your favorite musicians, Tommie? Do you play a lot of covers, or just original tunes?

On what instrument did you start playing music? Do you still play that instrument??


For those of you who use facebook, they have a very good page going with a lot of lively conversation.

Grandma was a piano teacher who sat us in her lap before we could walk or talk and hammer out simple tunes with our little baby fingers. Lessons were mandatory by age four, but I was never any good at it. The school board bought us a set of band instruments in the sixth grade and I went straight at the tenor sax. I wasn't any good at that either, but i wanted it, but not to earn a living with it. i love playing music with other people in front of an audience.

Since college, I've only played on street corners, in drum circles or open jams. When my career in the life sciences tanked in the mid 80's, music kept me alive in the streets until I could get a leg up in the gem and mineral trade and make ends meet better.

Today, my principal instrument is a curved soprano sax backed by a soprano recorder and djembe. Sometimes i can get on a keyboard and it will play me, but i still can't play it. Same with a guitar. I've had really well tuned guitars handed to me that just flew under my fingers until i had ripped the pads off all my fingertips, but i can't consciously play the thing. I can only do that with saxes and flutes and I still think I suck at it, but I have a lot of people fooled into thinking otherwise and i have moments now and then when I impress myself.

Since you asked, I've had the most experience with the trumpet. Did piano when I was a kid, but I wasn't too interested. I've had some experience with the cello, recorder (lol so did every elementary kid), alto sax, ukulele, guitar, and probably other random shit I've forgotten about like the harmonica or something. I've lived in places with great music scenes and I have friends in bands, so music's always been around even if I haven't been participating directly.

I’m actually curious here. Do you honestly not understand why people believe these things? Are you genuinely confused as to why people draw the conclusions they do from the things you say?

You claim that in the real world, people do not believe these things. Do you think the problem could be with the way you interact online?

Yeah, I don't know why others haven't sent evidence to his non tranned Facebook friends.

If you manage to cut your fingers open playing guitar you are a certified retard and I know noone who this has happened to.
My cuticles (not the pads) used to bleed occasionally when I played guitar for prolonged periods, and I knew at least one guy who rubbed his fingertips raw from excessive playing - but at the time he hadn't developed callouses, and he was practicing, literally, 14-18 hours a day.

The only way I can imagine this happening to a grown adult is if you've got a really shitty guitar, with high action and very old, cheap, ragged metal strings that have never been cleaned of dust and debris. Then you start playing, and you keep playing for hours and hours and hours, until way past the point your body tells you to take a break.

Which is plausible in Tommie's case.

I made some music a little more than 20 years ago, made some decent money off of it at the time. Haven't done anything with music since unless you consider singing to be music. I've been too busy with other things but I do want to get back into it once my life slows back down. It's however on the very low end of things I want to get back into and probably not even top 10. I'd rather spend my time listening to music.

Tom... are you ever going to address the fact that most of the "outlandish bullshit" about you that we've heard comes from your own goddamn mouth?

Ok, I will concede the following. If you are new to guitar, and you are practising like a moron ( 0ver 2 hours a day) then this might happen because you haven't built up resistance.
So take your pick , I will only concede this if you admit to me you never practised enough, or played long enough to gain callouses.
 
I played bass with a band up till 2003 when my fool guitarist signed with Metal Blade Records went to a party 2 days later and died from an OD off of 5 methadone wafers.

Which tom is how i know you ,suck at music. Which is what my drummer told you on video. you are a joke nothing.
