PLAY Practicing like it’s a performance

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Most of my learning / practice time lately has been less guitar technical skill focused and more improving my understanding of mixing and producing live performance over backing tracks. Ultimately I want to perform in this style, tracked drum, bass, some guitars, I primarily sing and play as much guitar as possible. I’ve managed to record something I don’t absolutely hate :)

Posting a vocal performance under the guise of 'practicing guitar' is like cutting a hole in the bottom of the shared popcorn bowl and hiding your wiener in it. Read the room bro

Shit my bad dude, I didn’t interpret it that way at all, thought we just liked music.

It’s not my thing either but it most certainly is music and dude’s playing and singing quite well

Who pissed in your corn flakes? There’s no reason this can’t be an uplifting, supportive, community. Just downvote and move on with your life

Yes, perfect analogy! It’s like hiding your pissing wiener in someone’s bowl of corn flakes

Sounds good man, always great to practice standing up and singing. Don’t let people get you down, there’s a lot of types here that just sit and spend six hours learning a shred guitar solo note by note sitting in a desk chair(I’m one of them) rather than what you’re doing. No wrong type of guitar playing

I’m the same when it comes to shredding, and yet I can still appreciate this. People who gatekeep creative outlets are awful…

This may not be the sub, and it may not be my flavor of music, but you sound good man. Keep rocking

The negative comments really surprised me here. It's solid guitar playing, good vocals and you've written an original catchy song. It's more interesting than a lot of the shredding videos that get posted here.

This is the guitar group, not the lame whining singer strumming some basic chords group.
