My biggest mistake as a musician was pretty much like yours ^^ It took me quite a time to ask myself " what do i want as a musician ? " It's my 7th year of learning drum and i begin to develop my own style of playing. But since i've realised it for drum, it happened too for the guitar and keyboard part ^^ I think that, in a certain way, it's better to realize it at this point where i've still a lot to learn because i can that way focus on what i think would be useful to create this style ^^ One day when i was taking an electric guitar exam, one member of the jury told me that it was cool that i had my own style (which wasn't on the same stage of development as now which won't be the same as later ^^) ^^ And i think that i began to understand where i must go as a musician since that day ^^ My biggest accident was during a similar exam, but for the drum ^^ I forgot all of my sheets and i was rehearsing with the other students that also where taking this exam, but it wasn't my drum teacher that was doing the rehearsal (more of a warming-up by the way ^^') so when we were playing snare rudiments, he used some terms that i hadn't learn that time (but which i did later ^^) ^^' It was pretty tough for me to keep my composure because i was the only one in that case ^^ But i have to say, it surely helped me to realise that practicing wasn't the only thing that i would need to become a musician, that i would also need to improve my knowledge about theory ^^ Well, it certainly had worked because since that day, every time i heard about a theory point that didn't mean anything to me (that i didn't understood or that i simply hasn't learn) i did my best to learn it ^^ So yes these are still mistakes and accidents, but, in a certain way, these are the events that made us improve as a musician ^^

Running 16 Kontakt 5s at the same time? It was... Bad.

i'm like the ADS poster child: " jack of all trades, master of none" and just spread too thin. = lots of wheel spinning

Mistake is to nevermind the vocals .

My biggest mistake was to switch my guitar to cassette player with my friend back in the 80's and not to start learning to play the guitar... But nowadays i'm pretty good at listening music....

do your thing bro

Riff 'til you're a stiff at the very least.

I concur

Yep!

Indeed

Any recommendations on Jazz-Core, Avant-garde BM or Prog Death? I already listen stuff like: Ihsahn, Sigh, Mirrorthrone, Ne Obliviscaris, Death, Leprous, Atheist, Opeth etc.

sounds like a basic bitch

@@alhei525 Jazz-Core: Assassin by Naked City. Prog Death: Cynic (first album, yeah-ish the second), Coprofago, Pestilence (more tdm than prog), Neglected Fields.

@@alhei525 For Bm seek Dodheimsgard and The Shining

@@DeltaPi314 Wonderwall is the first song I learned. I had my priorities straight at 13. Learn one stupid song with nonsensical lyrics and mediocre musicianship, get chicks.

sudden gust in my apartment
