Guys! There's a Canadian musician who needs your help! Spread the word!

You don't need to get defensive bud! I'm not even the one asking for money.

Um. . . yes, you are. I think what you meant is you're not asking for money for yourself.

So, poor reasoning skills and limited language skills. What else ya got, son?

Oh, and I listened to one of the songs. Assuming your boy is not actually you, his singing and guitar artistry (or even competence) are on a par with your reasoning and language skills. In short, he sucks.

I suggest busking. He'll get more money for pity's sake than for his alleged music.

Poor taste in music.

Poor taste in music.

Can't blame the kid for supporting his friend (himself?). Still, there comes a point where a real friend tells you "Sorry, man, but you really suck at this. Let's find something you dig that you can actually do."

 

[DaSleeper]

One suggestion.....Send a couple of your recordings to The Voice but if I were you I wouldn't borrow money on the results

 

[55Mercury]

he makes Dylan's singing sound like the opera.

just sayin'

saw this the other day, thought it was interesting:

Amanda Palmer: The art of asking - YouTube

 

[DaSleeper]

When I was in my 20's I had purchased a small portable reel to reel tape player and recorded myself playing guitar and banjo ....because what you hear behind the instrument is different from what is heard in front....since I was satisfied with what I heard I decided to try singing .......
Result?.....I only sing maybe in the shower....when I'm alone at home..or if everybody else at a party is drunk..
But then.....I'm not tone deaf...

Well put my good Bronie, though I actually do enjoy his music, everyone is entitled to his opinion. That being said, I don't recommend you have any little Bronies of your own! Suggesting that someone give up on what they love is stupid, your opinion doesn't dictate quality.

 

[darkbeaver]

Art, is that you?

 

[gopher]

MHz,

Cuts down on the reading material you keep in the crapper also.

:fart:

fer sure!

The singular is "brony," and you apparently missed the part where I said "let's find something else you love (the word I used was 'dig,' sorry, I'm old) that you can actually do."

If you're 135 cm and 55 kilos, you aren't going to play in the CFL, no matter how much you love it.

Your buddy has a better chance, but he needs voice and guitar lessons. As currently stands, he is not good enough to make a living at it.

Hard to hear, I know. But there it is.

Which song did you even listen to? His pitch and guitar playing is fine, it all comes down to style and tone, which is based on opinion.

I listened to a bit of the first 3. His pitch and style best not be shared IMHO. But best of luck to him if he finds some people who enjoy his music. I chose not to contribute to his fund (seems I am not alone in that either).

What does it matter? You will not listen. I love local and indie music. Love to listen to it, love to support it. Donegal X-press, Mary Prankster, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, and dozens of others down around where I live.

I got nothing against your boy. I'm telling you he needs voice and guitar lessons. That's from a completely disinterested source who is a fan of local/indie music. Take it or leave it. Or, in your case, leave it or leave it.

Oh well if you listen to that stuff I'd never expect you to like his stuff, it's your opinion man. Maybe just don't state your opinion like it's fact, it's a pretty self righteous attitude.

Sound advice, I suppose you'll want some compensation.

But of course. . .

You have your dung together. carry on, please

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

By the way, Jimmy Pat, if you want to listen to what I mean, here's what your boy needs to get to. . .

Let It Ride- The Wayfarers - YouTube

Or this. . .

Or preferably this. . .
