sana hindi mali tong thread ko about guitarist padin naman eh..
im 19 now last year of teens i start playing guitar and having my band since 3rd year high school and im freshly graduate from two years course in computer.(nahinto ako 1 sem before mag college). so i almost 4 years in playing guitar.(3rd yr college ako if 4 yrs course kinuha ko).sana hnd magulo kwento ko hehe... i have a band before but not exist anymore.. and i have a new band nakakatugtog naman maayos yung banda napagkakakitaan din minsan if my demand samen..
but i think masyado na malaki yung panahon para sakin i have no achievement in playing guitar.. as a musician.. upgrade ako ng upgrade ng guitars, effets pero naisip ko para saan?wala naman din atang patutunguhan sayang pera lang at panahon! (correct me sa lahat ng mali ah)
ahaha ang bitter ko

maghanap ka lang ng bagong mga bagay na mag cchallenge sa pag gigitara mo.
saka wag ka na mag upgrade ng gitara at effects. focus more on playing the guitar.
mag jam ka sa lahat ng pwede maka jam. tiyak lalaki ang scope mo.

If playing guitar is your PASSION, dapat hindi ka nagkakaganito. Playing guitar is like unlimited learning, dapat inspired ka para magpursigi ka pang matuto, dapat din alamin mo kung ano talaga ang gusto mo. IMO.

study some playing techniques of famous guitarists... watch some guitar lessons video (intermediate level or higher...)... try to make your own techniques... keep playing... read some reviews of featured gears or view some rigs of some of your guitar heroes...

you just have to live with the frustration. whatever happens it's your life; wether you get or not to where you want to go with the guitar it doesn't matter. it's how you look at it.

the more it pisses me off, the more I strive. minsan nga lang talaga tinatamaan ng katamaran sa pagaaral ng bagong theories and techniques tsaka naapektuhan ng school kaya mabagal improvement pero I see to it na nakakapaguitara parin ako at naguupgrade playing skills ko hindi downgrade

Minsan nararanasan ko rin iyan mahirap nga ang ganyang pakiramdam but wala karin namang ibang aasahan kundi sarili mo, kung ako sa iyo try to jam sa iba at pumunta ka sa ibang lugar para makapag-relax and meet new people. Nakakaboring din kasi eh minsan kapag paulit-ulit ng ginagawa natin but walang nangyayari. Wag mong masiyadong seryosohin yan bro, as much as possible enjoy molang yan or else humanap muna ng ibang pag-lilibangan malay mo iba rin pala ang linya mo.
:-D

Ang sagot diyan sa problema mo ay pakipagjamming ka with other fellow musicians. Ganyan din yung nafi-feel ko dati eh, pero nung simula ng sumali ako sa church music ministry, ayun parang ginanahan ulit akong maggitara at magaral ng mga music theories.

like the old saying di ba, "birds of feathers..." if you're surrounded by pessimistic, frustrated musicians, syempre, sooner or later magiging pare pareho na kayo. Like they said, surround yourself with people that will inspire you. I myself stopped playing and didn't have the interest until a year ago, and thats after 12 years of hiatus. Why? Got married, a job, 2 kids, went abroad and still here. And then befriend a guy from church who plays in the worship band... and the rest is history :-D

Dude, ako, nafrufrustrate lng ako pag minsan kung may lick na hinde ko ma gets or, dirty, pero, i still enjoy playing the guitar, i mean, i never get bored, basta kung nasan man ako, at makakita ako ng gitara, ok na ako. or kapag wala akong ma compo na maayos na solo para sa songs namin. hahah
and tip nga pala, wag ka muna upgrade ng upgrade and buy ng effects kung hinde naman kailangan IE, parang ako, medyo kirk hammett influenced ako sa mga solos{since he's my fav guitarist} so, i've decided to buy myself a wah pedal. just like that, wag ka ung bibili ng wah pero hinde naman alam kung anong gagawin or pano. Get my point? :)
and don't waste money, save em now, mahirap na ang buhay ngayon

Wala naman talagang katuturan ang music sa praktical na buhay. Di ka kikita ng malaki unles sumikat ka, and what are the chances of that happening?
But you knew that when you started playing anyway didnt you? So why let it bother you know. You, like most of us probably started playing because it was fun. Because you enjoyed doing it. Because it was a great way to connect and spend time with friends.
If its not fun anymore, just stop doing it and spend time doing something you enjoy.
Enjoy the time. Once you start working, there will be even less time. But on the flipside, the frustration of corporate life are great fuel to drive you to play again.
Long story short, use your time wisely, do things you enjoy.

if you're getting bored ng pajam jam, pa sifra sifra, maybe it's time to write your own songs. i think it's worth it to take on that new challenge, if music is really your passion. otherwise, bakasyon ka muna. pero, just in case mag decide ka mag break muna from playing guitar, sana make sure ang kalyo and dexterity ng daliri mo di masyado mabawasan

just to be sure uhm,, hmm,, i'm not actually a frustrated guitarist, I can do a lot of things with my guitar, but being just a plane good or a higly technical fluent guitarist doesn't actually make you a good musician. there's is a thin line between being a guitarist and a musician, but it will always be different.
I would say I am definetly a frustrated musikero and not a frustrated gitarista. :-(
It is very hard to write a song that will define and capture the true inner color of your soul. yun lang sir, hehe

exactly my point. sa case kasi ni ts, he's getting frustrated with his guitar playing. maybe hindi guitar playing ang forte nya or maybe he just wants a new perspective in his playing. whatever the reasons are, if he really loves music, and he's not going anywhere with his skills, why not try creating his own songs. your right, being a good guitarist and a good musician is different. roy orbison, john lennon, mike hanopol, heck, i'd even throw in rey valera, and countless others, were never regarded as guitar virtuosos, but they were able to make great music. no one ever said that songwriting is easy. that's why i referred to it as a challenge. and i think, it's a challenge that should you accept, you have nothing to lose. but of course it's up to TS. no one will make decisions for him. he has to know what he wants first, then take it from there

if you play the same thing over and over it'll get boring..i was in a showband when i started playing guitar, its was fun the first couple of months (getting paid too)..but it was that rush in learning a song that kept me going but it'll eventually flame out if you dont give that song(songs) a break.. and i do other projects too that are related to guitar(setting it up etc..)
but i also have projects like converting my favorite soundtracks to guitar style(its fun for me)..you may laugh if you want but these are the ones i want to redo/cover at the moment
dont be..life is short(not the moffats song)..to feel that way,

Present. 2 months na ata ako hinde nahawak ng gitara mula nung nakabili ako ng lappy. :-D tinatamad na ako mag ingay. Haha.
An laki ng nawala dun sa improvement ko kaya tinatamad na uli ako mag umpisa. :-(
di naman ako nagsisisi na medyo malaking pera na rin na ubos ko sa pagbili ng mga gears.
Magagamit ko din naman yun pag umuuwi ako ng province namin. Yahoo!!!! Ang sarap magingay sa palasyo namin. Haha. Solong solo ko yung bahay. Hihi.
Tsaka naisip ko din. Magbakasyon muna dito sa libangang ito. Pero NEVER ko ibebenta yung mga gear kasi frustrated na ako.
A musician will always be a musician. (pagpasensyahan nyo na ang english ko kung may mali.)
alam ko sa sarili ko na babalik din ako dito.
Narealize ko rin yung "rockstar mentality" lakas makafrustrate nyan.
Buti nawala yun sa akin at napalitan ng eenjoy ko lang. No need to be a rockstar.

I'm a bit frustrated sa banda pero hindi sa pagiging gitarista, minsan di ko na type yung mga kino-cover namin na kailangan mong plakaduhin ng tama dahil tutugtugin nyo sa upcoming gig, nawala na yung enjoyment na dun lang kayo sa studio tumutugtog & nag-eenjoy kayo-kayo ka lang, which is the main point kaya kayo tumutugtog, na iplease ang mga sarili as musicians at walang pressure in front of an audience. And how about may isa kayong bandmate na hindi na nag-improve ang level of playing samantalang kayo your striving hard para lalo kayong gumaling, frustrating sa fact na dumudumi yung practice nyo pag tumutugtog na sya. Sorry I'm just venting my frustrations... :-D

Ako iba ang frustration ko.
Last year, I got so excited learning new tricks and didn't realize I've been buying gears here and there. When I looked back and checked my bank account, it's when I realized that I spent more than what I really need. And to make it worse, I don't even have a time to enjoy it all.

Dami nakaka-relate sa TS, hehe. Bata ka pa bro, madami ka pang time on your way to being awesome, hehe. Madami ka pwede gawin to minimize burn out, like their suggestions, learn new songs/genre. Create your own music, etc.
Anyway, medyo similar ako dun sa ilang nagpost dito, I am also a 30+ geezer na nahinto more than 10years din yata bec of other stuff (work, family, kids, other interests). A year ago ko din lang uli naibalik paggitara when I broke a finger doing a sport I love (buti yung ring finger of my picking hand). Since then I try to squeeze playing time whenever I can. I dont think I am progressing as much as I'd like but at least I've learned a few more stuff within that time na nagstart uli ako. :-D

my frustration: schoolwork takes away my time for practicing.
i started playing guitar back when i was 13, and now that i'm 18, i don't feel like i've improved a lot given the duration that i've been playing guitar. i always look forward to short vacations though, where i could make the most of my practice sessions picking up from the wealth of guitar information found from the web. :-)

like what the others have said, there are times talaga na dumadating yan. I've been in a band since grade school, my first band was a christian band that plays for a small christian ministry. Drums pa ang instrument ko noon, up until my high school. I bought my first guitar when I was in 2nd year high school for the reason na matuto to play and to impress girls (who doesn't? hehe!). When I was in college, I was the vox of my band and occasionally plays the guitar. Naaalala ko pa dati noong college, bago pa lang ang Kamikazee and chicosci, minsan nakakasabay namin sila mag-perform. But our band never really made it, kahit maka-pwesto man lang. It did frustrate me, BIG TIME. It even caused me to stay away from music. But after sometime, I realized na gusto ko talaga makatugtog. So I started writing my own stuffs, at hinanap ko pa yung mga naisulat ko dati nung high school and college. kahit alam kong di magki-click sa iba, I don't care, as long as I can satisfy my urge to play and express my self thru my music. Mind you, I am not a good guitarist, I'm just an average guitar player.
Siguro give yourself a break muna. Para ma-miss mo ang pagtugtog, hehehe! I think giving it a break will help you to ignite the flames inside you again!
A very good topic, BTW.
:-D

I've been on the same problem before nagstart ako magguitar nung 1st year highschool then self study. then tries band jam jam lang then joined a contest then after few years i stopped probably nagsawa ako since wala din ako formal training. then after 6 years out of nowhere same enthusiam when i started guitar engulf me. This time I want to climb the ladder slowly learn and enjoy every steps i take on learning about guitar. Probably before nung bata ako reason ko is to prove something or just to impress others, pero ngayun i just enjoy playing.
PS.
Mas enjoy ngayun kasi may work na may pambili na hehehe... :mrgreen:

i'm the exact person na tinutukoy mo tsong. may family, may dayjob at gusto pa ring tumugtog. 30 years old na rin ako.high school pa ko nagsimula mag banda at magsulat ng kanta. actually i still write my own songs and hoping that one day, when i find the right people to jam with, i'll finally get heard.
minsan i feel the frustration too. minsan iniisip ko bakit di na lang ako mag focus sa dayjob at family. pero iba talaga eh, di ko matanggal, passion nga siguro.
TS: you're still too young to get frustrated. dapat ganyan age eh naglulumiyab ba ang passion mo sa instrumento mo.

Grabe naiiyak ako sa tuwa, kala ko nag-iisa lang ako. Actually maswerte pa ako sa iba. 15 years na ang nakalipas nung huli akong humawak ng guitar. at last august 2009 ay na-invite ako sa company namin na sumali sa isang banda, tuwa ako pero pressure rin kasi ang gagaling ng kabanda ko, pweding sabihin na ako ang nagpaparumi sa banda kapag praktis, minsan gusto ko nang umayaw kasi pakiramdam ko i am not doing any good in playing guitar, parang sayang ang bago kong biling electric at effects pero i must say na may pagbabago sa playing skills ko dahil sa kanila. Dahil sa post ng ibang taga-philmusic saying na their doing it for passion, parang nag-apoy uli ang hilig ko sa gitara. May dahilan ang diyos kung bakit ako muling ibinalik sa pag-gigitara kaya di ko sasayangin ito. Para sa iyo pre, bata ka pa at wag mong sayangin ang talent o skill na binigay sa iyo ng diyos. Ako plano ko na na kung di ako magtagumpay sa banda ko ngayon ay mag-apply ako sa church at dun ko subukang tumugtog.

Masyado ka pang bata para ma-frustrate. May mga naging kabanda ako na going 40 na pero tuloy tuloy lang sila hanggang ngayon. Kung gusto mo talaga tumugtog walang makakapigil sayo kahit sarili mo.
Tungkol naman sa akin:
Natuto ako mag-gitara sa edad na 10. Nagsimula ako magbanda 14 years old ako, at sabi ko nu'n sa sarili ko dapat sa edad na 19 eh sikat na ako at ang banda na binuo ko. Pero hindi nangyari un. Bakit? Kasi ang dami kong naging kabanda na naging dahilan ng pagka delay ng mga plano ko sa banda. At sa tingin ko mabuti na rin yun na hindi ako naging "famous/successful" na artist sa maagang edad dahil naisip ko immature pa ko nu'n musically so baka wala pang isang taon eh nalaos na ko dahil nga hilaw na hilaw pa ko nu'n lalo na sa songwriting.
Pero ok lang, tinuloy tuloy ko lang. At the age of 24 (year 2009) nagrelease kami ng 100 pieces na EP at naka-dagit kami ng Manager na nasa loob ng eksena at tinutulungan kami ngayon para makapasok sa eksena. Ngayon I'm 25, gumagawa na kami ng full length album na naka schedule i-release sa May 1/8 2010. Not bad according to my age.
*** Si Noel Gallagher 27 years old nung naging successful ang Oasis. Si James Blunt 30 na nung naging successful siya. Wala sa edad yan. GO lang ng GO. :-D

Mga sir pa-join ako nakakarelate ako
I'm already 27 y/o, i started playing mga 13 ako naimpluwensyahan ng mga classmates ko nung HS. madami na rin ako nasalihang mga banda bandahan, yung mga nakasama ko dati ngayon gumagawa na ng sarili nilang music ako isang "wannabe at trying hard parin". Feeling ko di na ako mag-iimprove, yun nga mga scales hirap ako, at nirarayuma kamay ko kapag sinusubukan ko yung mga mabibilis na licks, awwts. :lol:
Gustong gusto ko gumawa ng sarili kong music kaso talagang skill wise sablay ako..idagdag pa jan yung mga kabanda ko na kulang sa drive. kahit pamilyado na ako ang having 2 kids i want to keep the flame alive kaso mahirap na.. :-(
Dumating na nga ako sa point na give up ko na yung passion ko.. pero di ko talaga maiwasang mainggit. Di ko kayang pagsabayin ang pamilya + work + banda hehehe. Kahit may work na ako hirap parin pang-GAS at isa pa sa mga nakakafrustrate yun.
Reaction naman po jan lalo na sa mga DADDY na katulad ko.. :mrgreen:

hirap talaga pagsabayin ang banda at pamilya. may banda pa rin ako pero yun nga wala masyadong oras. laging busy or minsan hindi pwede yung isa kaya may time na iisipin mo kung itutuloy mo pa ba. pero kagabi after putting a new set of strings it came back!. hehehe. time will tell pa rin. malay mo kung hindi ikaw yung makakagawa ng musikang gusto mo, baka anak mo. (yun iniisip ko kung sakaling magkababy na kami ni mrs). ang hirap lang talaga kapag may mga kaibigan ka na nakakagawa ng eksena sa music scene tapos ikaw wala pa. hehehe. pero payo ko tuloy tuloy lang. nasa dugo na yan eh

hehe. frustrated as a musician? well, we cant all be stars, etch our names in the music world, or maybe earn a living through music. we will just have to enjoy playing guitar, at least its the best job in the world. and nothing wrong to dream and aim high too. :-)
frustrated as a guitarist? or maybe bored? maybe the ff. might spice up your guitar life a bit.
1. Stop your GAS(for now) but make sure your guitar is in good shape and sexy. 2. Stop comparing yourself(if you are), we're all students(even the beastly players), this is not a race. 3. Stop/minimize listening to guitar oriented music(those seemingly selfish type where the guitar always grab the spotlight), instead listen to other records that feature other instruments(sax, piano, trumpet, etc...), hear the beauty in them and try to cop them, it doesnt need to be note for note, but cop them the way you hear them and how they should sound. 4. take a simple song, improve it, try to add your personality to it. ....... 5. its a big world out there, some things you'll have to put off for a while and come back later. eat, sleep, have a good time w/ your lady, whatever...

this happens to anyone and everyone(the frustration) don't be frustrated. ur very lucky u can acquire gear in some ways. back in the mid 90s i know one very talented guitarist who doesn't have any gear, he mostly practice with his cousin's borrowed acoustic. to play an electric guitar he goes to his friends, then trying out gears in Yamaha, RJ, and Perfect Picth music stores. he does this just to keep practicing...because he doesn't have any gear yet.
he's one of the best and most versitile guitar players i know.
here's one important tip he told me. he told me to go out and search for local guitar players who can play really good. attend guitar clinics whenever there's one. if you can afford then go overseas to see int'l guitar players. watch their live gigs. and as others suggested hang out not only with good guitarist but with good musicians. watch every move they do. how they deliver notes. learn too appreciate good drummers,bass players,keyboardist,singers...all musicians. approach them and make friends with them. hear their stories on their way up to become a musician. these people will guide you what you need to do. just by watching a good musician closely no matter what instrument they use can actually make you a better player in a very big way.
for me this is a very fulfilling and very inspirational experience. it never lets me down. whenever i see a good guitar player it pumps me up. makes me wanna go home and turn on the metrinome at 200bpm. try it :-D

Grabe naiiyak ako sa tuwa, kala ko nag-iisa lang ako. Actually maswerte pa ako sa iba. 15 years na ang nakalipas nung huli akong humawak ng guitar. at last august 2009 ay na-invite ako sa company namin na sumali sa isang banda, tuwa ako pero pressure rin kasi ang gagaling ng kabanda ko, pweding sabihin na ako ang nagpaparumi sa banda kapag praktis, minsan gusto ko nang umayaw kasi pakiramdam ko i am not doing any good in playing guitar, parang sayang ang bago kong biling electric at effects pero i must say na may pagbabago sa playing skills ko dahil sa kanila. Dahil sa post ng ibang taga-philmusic saying na their doing it for passion, parang nag-apoy uli ang hilig ko sa gitara. May dahilan ang diyos kung bakit ako muling ibinalik sa pag-gigitara kaya di ko sasayangin ito. Para sa iyo pre, bata ka pa at wag mong sayangin ang talent o skill na binigay sa iyo ng diyos. Ako plano ko na na kung di ako magtagumpay sa banda ko ngayon ay mag-apply ako sa church at dun ko subukang tumugtog.
Katatapos lang ng Gig namin kanina, 2 shows at 4 repeated songs in every show. guess what, ang ginawa ko lang ay hagod sa strings at dasal na wag magkamali at ayun kahit di ganung kabigat yung part ko sa band sobrang tuwa ako nung makita ko yung bandmate ko na sobrang enjoy at saya sila at pakiramdam ko naman ay lalong lumalim friendship namin. Di man ako gumaling nang husto, i admit na na-develop ang skills ko at ang importante ay i win a friend like a brother. Siguro isa ito sa mga dapat nating tingnan bilang ganap at di ganap na gitarista o musikero, na di man tayo sumikat ay nagkaroon tayo ng kaibigan at naging bahagi tayo, sila ng kani-kaniyang buhay.

Baka kaya frustrated ka, masyadong mataas ang expectations mo. Maaaring subconsiously o consiously naghahangad ka na sumikat ka na agad as in gusto mong maging celebrity agad, tapos hindi naman nangyayari. Ang advise ko lang, babaan mo ang expectations mo at enjoy what you are doing. There is no point in doing something na you dont enjoy, pwera na lang sa mga bagay na wala tayong choice kundi gawin natin para mabuhay.

kadalasan nakakadagdag ng frustrations yung mga personal trials na dumarating sa buhay. marami yan. sa kaso ko ser, may instances na na-disband ang mga dati kong bands, at dumating sa point na tinatamad na akong magbanda at tumugtog, sabayan pa ng mga killer major subjects sa college na required ng at maximum 4 hours of sleep a day lang...
maganda rin na i-refresh nyo uli yung moment na first time mong magkagitara, flashback ka until the time na nag-eenjoy kana sa mga gigs mo noon. re-live the moments, ika nga.
try nyo rin maggitara leisurely habang nagrerelax, say in a windy summer afternoon, nakadungaw ka lang sa bintana, strum-strum lang, imbento ng riffs, at hayaan nyo lang mag-spark ang imagination nyo spontaneously. possible din na makagawa pa ng bagong compo.

madalang na kasi ako makahawak ng guitara kakaadik sa philmusic haha pero hindi yun ang point..
di na kasi ulit kami tinawagan dun sa bar na tinutugtugan namen eh nalakihan siguro dun sa demand namen na budget pero standard naman yun eh 300 eh..
want kasi nila 200 eh hindi naman pwede yun.. ayun wala na parang tinamad nawalan ng gana..di na nagsisipra di nageensayo..
panay gas lang inaatupag ko now.. pero baka sa april 10 may tugtug kami new bar yun bubuksan palang hehe :wink:
nyaahaaaaa.... :-o nalakihan sa P300? anong bar yan? saan yan?
wag kang ma-frustrate fafi. tuloy mo lang pag-eensayo mo. manuod ka ng mga bandang mismo din para mapulutan mo ng mga diskarte at gimik. kaibiganin mo din sila kasi matutulungan ka ng mga kapwa musikero natin diyan sa pag hanap ng gig. tulungan tayong lahat dito kasi industriya natin ito.

hmm... kung kumikita talaga ang bar e mali yun. baka kuma-cut lang ung nagsasabi sa inyo dun e. nangyayari talaga yan e kaya mas maganda kung me management kayo. kung ok lang sa inyo pwede niyong patusin muna un kahit ganun budget. dun nyo gawin mga gimik niyo, ensayo na tugtugan lang. then kung ok na grupo mo, madami na kayong pondo audition kayo sa ibang bar naman.

ang dami kong nakikitang grupo na taga bulakan... ang gagaling nilang lahat :-D
di ko sure kung malakas pa ang acoustic sa Manila pero as much as possible ensayo kayo ng full band. try nyong gumawa ng show tulad ng choreography. mostly kasi un ang demand sa manila. mabilis kayong makukuha ng isng management pag ganun.
konting tiis, konting tiyaga lang naman, hindi naman un mahirap lalo na kung labs nyo ang work nyo. you'll be surprise sa mararating nyo kung isa lang direksyon nyong lahat.

sana hindi mali tong thread ko about guitarist padin naman eh..
im 19 now last year of teens i start playing guitar and having my band since 3rd year high school and im freshly graduate from two years course in computer.(nahinto ako 1 sem before mag college). so i almost 4 years in playing guitar.(3rd yr college ako if 4 yrs course kinuha ko).sana hnd magulo kwento ko hehe... i have a band before but not exist anymore.. and i have a new band nakakatugtog naman maayos yung banda napagkakakitaan din minsan if my demand samen..
but i think masyado na malaki yung panahon para sakin i have no achievement in playing guitar.. as a musician.. upgrade ako ng upgrade ng guitars, effets pero naisip ko para saan?wala naman din atang patutunguhan sayang pera lang at panahon! (correct me sa lahat ng mali ah)
ahaha ang bitter ko
kayo dumating na ba kayo sa point na ito? ako kaninang madaling araw lang b4 umidlip!
..if hindi pasok tong thread ill remove it thanks
Saan nga ba patungo ang paggigitara mo? Why do you play in the first place? What do you expect from it? Fame? Glory? Money? There has to be a reason.
On my part, I don't give a second thought when it comes to buying or upgrading my guitar, it's because I just simply love and enjoy to play the guitar, I don't care what other thinks. Nothing is wasted since I am investing on my inward enrichment and contentment. on the other hand I wouldn't spend a dime buying or upgrading a motorcycle, it would be wasting time and money, for the simple reason that I just don't have a passion for it, and it would be frustrating if I am forcing myself to like it knowing that there is nothing to gain.
Guitar, is it worth it? ako nga eh, noong 8yrs old pa ako nagumpisa mag guitara[pero pa putol putol] higit sa 20 taon na ako nag gigitara. and its worth it, dahil napapaganda ng guitara ang buhay ko.

we all have the same stories when it comes to guitar frustration and stories na di na kayo nagimprove / gumaling. i think malaki na ang pagbabago natin since nag start mag gitara hanggang sa present time. we may think that we never improved but the mere fact na we realize na we have so much to learn pa already puts us at a level na very mature tayo. and i think lahat ng musicians eh ganun, thru time di lang gumagaling musically pero on a different perspective.
di nga siguro tayo magaling mag sweep or tap or kung anu anu mang techniques pero ang music is not just technique, solos, riffs. for me it's appreciation, respect, feeling, passion sa craft etc.. kaya basta mahilig tayo sa music. never natin kailangang tawagin ang sarili nating frustrated. :)
just my 2 cents po :) peace :)

nagstart ako maggitara ngayung year nato? bumili lang ako gitara nung December.
hanggang ngayun di pa rin maayos at mabilis yung pagpapalit ko ng chords at yung mga barre chords e di ko parin mamaster.
ayun nagsimula na akong tamarin maggitara... nang...
ayun! nagsurf ako sa net, nakahanap ng matinong tabs site, at kinuha ko dun yung mga songs na gusto ko at yun pinagaaralan ko.
ano lesson dito?
natutunan ko na ang pag-aaral ng gitara ay hindi nagiging boring kung yung kantang pagaaralan mo ay marami at yung mga gusto mo pa. ^_^

gusto ko na nga benta mga gamit ko :-( kahit mga chipiay at luma na
pero natatakam ako sa bagong gears :-( iniisip ko bili ako bagong guitar tsaka fx tapos gawa na lang ako solo project.. mga tipong instrumental modulation pang soundtrack ba, atleast yung di kailangan ng bandmate na tamad at walang pakialam :-D

Oo nga po e.. pero gustong gusto ko gumawa ng music ayoo iwan yung hilig na to.. parang mali kasi isipin na nagstruggle ka sa passion mo tapos dahil sa ibang tao iiwan mo yung hilig mo.. parang mali yata yun..

Good for your sir! Yung passion and drive mo sa music talagang hinding hindi mawawala yan. it's just that wala lang siguro kayong way para i-share yung enthusiasm nyo sa music sa tamang audience, yung tipong maa-appreciate yung passion nyo... my observation lang naman sir. :grin:

Kahit mahirap isingit sa time yung paghawak ng gitara at mas madalas na mga baby ang hawa ko or trabaho nandun pa rin po sir yung "kiliti" kapag nakakarinig ako ng live na tumutugtog.. yun tipong ganun or kapag may mga bata na naggigitara sa kalsada di ko mapigilan yung excitement..
nakakainggit lang yung iba nating mga kasamahan dito na madaming gears + magagaling skill-wise + may sarili ng musika na ginagawa :cry:

hello bagito lang po dito sa forum :-D ang kukulit naman ng mga nabasa ko dito sa thread :-D bring back memories tuloy ako :cry:
Noong mid 90's after na mag-guest kame sa isang maliit na battle of the band sa may San Mateo, Rizal (kilala namen yung organizer :-D) may nakilala kameng gustong imanage yung banda and syempre naexcite kame and we agreed na magmeet uli after a month or two. Kaso biglang nagkaaberya, nag-asawa yung drummer namen at sumunod yung bokalista, okey lang sana kaso yung mga napangasawa nila e ayaw na sila pasamahin kaya we decide na idisband yung banda. Kakafrustrate talaga dahil meron na kaming mga original na kanta from environmental and political genre. And after that medyo lie low muna sa pagbabanda. And nung nagkafamily na ren ako, kailangan ko munang magsumikap at dun natengga na yung gitara ko.
I guess di mawawala talaga sa isang musikero ang hilig sa musika, kase sa ngayon I'm planning na ipagawa uli yung gitara ko, bumili uli ng ibang gamit, kontakin uli yung old bandmates at kung papalarin irevive yung banda. Kung hindi man matuloy...

pag nag-asawa ka....sa umpisa kung iisipin mo talaga...
sasabihin mong bibitiwan mo ang pagbabanda or pag gigitara.
iyan ang ginawa ko...
pero meron pa din naman akong oras na laging umupo para mag gitara...
nagagawa ko pa din ang usual routine ko kaya lang hindi kasing haba ng oras na alotted ko tulad ng dati...
ang ayaw lang ng Misis ko dati ung mga pumupuntang mga tao para mag paturo at makipag-jam...
lumipas ang ilang taon e naisip ko na wala namang masama dun.
wala naman akong bisyo tulad ng yosi at alak...babae or droga...
napuno ako nun at sinabi kong nabibigay ko naman ang kailangan nila...
bakit dapat pagbawalan ng isang tao ang isang bagay na hindi naman naka-sama sa iyo...
nakaka-inspire pa nga...mga anak ko natutuwa pag nakikita akong nag gigitara...
sa tingin ko magandang pakikipag-usap lang ang kailangan between you and your wife...
magandang diskarte ng time management and scheduling...
humingi kayo ng isang araw para dun para lahat ng obligasyon niyo sa bahay e mabitiwan niyo
at ilaan niyo sa mga activities na gagawin niyo :-D

same here, my fiancee enjoys it when im enjoying myself with music..she's a hobbyist guitar player. prefers alternative and blues..
but she doesnt want me getting a fender, it looks common as what she told me lol,
i dont get why would someone force their significant other to quit music, if i wanted to quit music the reason should come from me and not from some else,
@All in gear buying if you dont have the means to get it..be realistic..if you think you can aim for it then work hard for it..but you shouldnt drop other priorities
@All in gear buying if you dont have the means to get it..be realistic..if you think you can aim for it then work hard for it..but you shouldnt drop other priorities
tama ito.
dahil nag asawa kayo i-prioritize niyo din ang obligations niyo sa family.
so para sa mga luho natin sa music we can always double or triple our efforts sa trabaho.
maraming diskarte talaga, huwag lang kayong nakatunganga :-D
advice ko sa lahat never ever be frustrated.
habang bata pa kayo huwag niyong sayangin ang oras niyo....

but i feel like this whole journey is taking it's toll on my mind and body.
napaisip ako, sa pitong taon ng pag gigitara ko, ano kaya ang mga ibang bagay na pwede kong nagawa?
napapaisip lang ako... haha. but then again, i won't go back and quit now, i'm too far down this road. to turn my back on playing the guitar would be like turning my back on everything i believed in. playing the guitar gives me the energy i need to get through life. :mrgreen:

Pero ala akong hilig sa mga effects at banda, gusto ko yung solo lang at marunong maggitara at tumugtog ng piano gaya nina John Mayer at mga sikat na solo artist. XD, ano tawag dun? hehe. Isa lang instrument ko, Guitar, frustrate ako gawa walang pambili ng Piano at magandang music instruments. Sana balang araw makapagtake ako ng formal lessons.

magandang topic to ahh, talagang binasa ko lahat ng page bago mag reply..
isa rin akong frustrated guitarist.. nagstart ako magaral ng gitara grade 6 ako, tamang song hits lang at accoustic guitar.. nagbanda ako 3rd year high school.. pero nahinto.. nung una ako nagbanda ginagawa ko din accoustic guitar ung electric stram lang ng stram! tapos bumalik ako sa pagbabanda 3rd year collage na, sa church namin... umaasa pa din ako sa mga tabs non.. nahinto ulit, last 2009 lang ulit ako bumalik sa pagigitara at talagang nag seryoso sa paghawak ng electric guitar, di ko pa nga masyado nagagamit ung hinliliit ko dahil sanay lang talaga ako sa basic chords... pero since nung nagseryoso ako at talagang ginusto ko na ang pagigitara nakikita ko na din ang improvement sa araw araw na practice ko.. 24 na ako ngaun kahit may day job eh nasasabay ko din ang pagigitara at pagbabanda, pero inaamin ko noob pa din ako pag dating sa gitara, pero malaki ang naitutulong ng practice at jam sa ibat-ibang banda.. madami akong natutunan sa mga naging kabanda ko especially don sa mga gitarista... malaking tulong din ang internet at technology ngaun isang click mo lang ung mga di mo alam eh matutunan mo agad... sa ngayon tumutugtog ang banda namin sa mga conventions, minsan sumasali din ng BOTB..
basta tuloy mo lang kung ano ang ginagawa mo at gusto mo, enjoy life bro!

Started playing the guitar first year highschool. strum strum lang kse pampapogi lang naman nun haha. saka mahilig din tlga ko kumanta. nakapagchoir pa nga ako hanggang college (singer nde gitara). banda banda din highschool and college. pero pagkagraduate ng college, natigil na rin ung pag play sa mga bands. nde rin ako mashado nagimprove sa pag gigitara kse nde rin naman ganun ka seryoso.
pero after 5 years, bumalik ung passion. and now i know kung bakit nde ko rin mashado nakahiligan ang gitara dati. i figured out na ang hilig ko kse talaga is acoustic music and acoustic guitars. ngayon i'm playing and practicing on my own since no time din for other stuff kse i'm working plus taking up my masters. kahit ganun na ako lang nakakarinig sa playing ko (although i do play sometimes sa company and pag may mga parties and weddings) pero my practicing is in preparation for when i finish studies kse i'm planning to join a church music ministry.
iba talaga pag passion mo. kahit magstop ka or walang pera or kahit ikaw lang nakakarinig sa pagtugtog mo, mageenjoy kapadin and it will always come back to you.

Medyo frustrated lang ako sa tugtugan namin hirap talaga makahanap kapareho ng trip mo, pero ok na rin. Asar din ako dun sa dating singer namin sobrang seloso ayaw nyang nakikijam kami sa iba tsaka ayaw ng classic rock puro kabaduyan yung gustong tugtugin, kaya hayun nagbuo ng banda tapos mga nobody nobody but you at heavy metal version ng diana ni neil sedaka yung tinutugtog :-D.

I started playing when I was on highschool dumaan na din ako sa madaming banda and now Im 32 and still playing but you know wala din akong na achieve sa pagtug2g ako ay isa sa mga frustrated musician ...imagine hanggang ngeon di pa rin ako makapag sweeping ha ha ha pero I keep on playing I can say na kapag pala na realized mo na hindi ka namn kabilang sa mga naulanan ng talento sa pagtugtog better do something na may talento ka but never stop playing if your enjoying, it to tell you frankly ngeyon pa lang ako nag start mag upgrade ng mga gamit I got 3 kids and working as acall center agent sometimes i stop playing but I didnt quit kasi nasa bloodline na ntin yan e kaya dont stop believing just play di mo masasabi ang swerte merong sumisikat kahit hindi magaling at meron namang magaling na walang nararating.......
+1000 ako din 32 na wala pa nararating but still enjoying playing music and still inpired pa din na mabuo ko mga licks ni satriani matagal na ako nag stop sa banda but the urge never fade dala lang ng kahirapan sa buhay at obligasyon coz i have 4 kids now kaya di ko mapursige ang hilig ko sa musika.. kung nag eenjoy ka sa pagtugtog go but kung hindi na leave it..

For my part, almost sa buong 20 years kong pag-giguitara, di ako nakaranas ng frustration against may instrument. Frustration siguro how music became so commercialized but that's another story. Nakatulong rin yung mga panahon na nasa banda ako, every day jam. It wasn't really about the skills and virtuosity para sa akin. It was all about how we make music and communicate music with our colleagues in music and with the audience. Hindi ko inalintana yung mga kaisipan na kesyo "kailangan kong gumaling na mas magaling pa sa mga ibang guitarist", or "kailangan kong bumuo na ng banda at mabuhay sa banda", or "kailangan ko pang mahigitan si kwan" and what-not.
Music is a never-ending learning, parang buhay yan. Para sa akin, ang dami ko pang hindi alam sa music and this drives me not to be let down.
Mas lalo na ngayon na I am dedicating my skills and talents to His glory. Mas satisfying dahil nakakatulong ka na makakilala ang mga tao sa Diyos. Isang araw, sa pagtanda nating lahat at nasa dapit hapon na tayo ng buhay natin, hindi ba masarap isipin na naging makabuluhan ang buhay natin through music dedicated to our higher power. I am not preaching, I'm just saying that frustration can be overcome as long as you channel your skills in music and make the best use of them habang andito pa tayo sa mundo.

i think a long as you keep in touch on your guitar, siguro kahit a minute day, para lang hindi mu makalimutan yung pag ggtra nyo,
suggest ko put your guitar malapit sa place ng house nyo na nandun ka lagi,
i have my guitar non my room and sala, mas madali mu syang nakikita, mas may tendency na gamitin mo ulit sya :D

Frustrations maybe due to some several reasons and ways how to cope with it:
-gigs offering low pay or insufficient income. (commitment, just hoping for a regular gig, it will increase opportunities) -lack of guitar lessons or thinking yourself that you're stuck on that level. (get a good teacher or watch online guitar lessons) -passion is gone maybe of a new interest. ( need influence from others, jam with some friends, listen to your favorite bands) -no determination and perseverance perhaps laziness. (progress is essential, always practice) -no family support. (make it a hobby) -prefer this :evil:

ako frustration ko? hmm.. siguro yung tipong may gustong gusto kang tone na makuha. pero hindi mo makuha dahil wala kang gears/effects/amp? hirap! frustrate na frustrate akong makabili ng kahit anong effects/multi/gears, etc. yun. dahil sa kahirapan ng buhay. hindi ako makabili ng kahit ano. sa isang pedal nga lang hirap na hirap na kong magipon. sa ngayon isa palang pedal ko. at Boston HM-100(2nd hand) lang. yun siguro frustration ko as a musician/guitarist. pero hindi ko pinipigilan yung sarili ko na mag grow sa pag-ggitara, sabi ko nga sa sarili ko "balang araw makakabili din ako ng mga gears na kelangan ko to improve my playing" hehe. :)
but sa playing naman. wala naman po sigurong problema, i make sure na hindi dadaan ang isang araw na hindi ako makakahawak/makakapag gitara. and if i have time na makapag research ng mga theories and techniques nagreresearch ako, yun nga siguro, passion ko na nga siguro ang music, hehe. 6yrs. na kong nag gigitara. sa ngayon mag 2nd yr. college na ko sa pasukan. grade 5 ako nag start mag gitara. pero i'm not a shredder, hehe. yun lang. share ko lang mga sir! haba na pala! hehe. :)

tama jin. sali nalang ako sa banda nyo para gitarista na ulet ako. XD
off topic ata, pero naisip nyo na bang umalis sa banda kahit gitarista ka naman, for the reason na ung band never turned out to be what you expected it to be?
in other words may idea ka ng tunog, gusto mo ganito yung drums, gusto mo ganito yung bass, pero hindi kayo nagkakaintindihan ng band mates mo kaya aalis ka nalang.
or umalis ka ng band kasi gusto mo ikaw yung bida??
ako 4 years ago gusto ako yung bida sa band.. ako yung lead, at vocs, :lol:
pero never naging successful pagka bida bidahan ko kasi wala nman akong lakas ng loob. hindi ako pwede maging front man ;) fail na fail ako.
until now gusto ko pa rin namann maging 'bidaman' pero whew okay nako as main gitarist ng isang band. ;)

Ako I think I'm a frustrated guitarist. Papalit palit kasi ako eh gusto magguitara tapos magbabass tapos maggigitara. Kaya nagquit ako. Then nung ininvite ako sa isang church, sinali ako sa music ministry tapos ayun dun ko nagamit yung mga skills ko dati na akala ko walang kwenta. Masaya tumugtog lalo na pag ang tinutugtugan mo eh yung creator ng music. Si God. Astig talaga.

-gigs offering low pay or insufficient income. (commitment, just hoping for a regular gig, it will increase opportunities) Kung talagang passion mo ang pag gigitara kahit hindi ka naman bayaran ok parin sayo eh. Kasi iba ang satisfaction na nakukuha mo kesa pera. Unless kung income mo na ang paggigitara. Kung nararamdaman mo ito, well music is not for you. -lack of guitar lessons or thinking yourself that you're stuck on that level. (get a good teacher or watch online guitar lessons) Praktis ka lang ng magpraktis sa bahay. Tapos nood nood ka lang videos. Kahit pinakamagaling na teacher pa ang magturo sayo. Nasa sayo parin yan kung papraktisin mo o hindi. Ang music hindi yan ABC na tinuturo sa school tapos magexam sasagutan mo. Its more on muscle memory so it boils down on how you practiced what you have learned. -passion is gone maybe of a new interest. ( need influence from others, jam with some friends, listen to your favorite bands) Kung talagang passion mo ang music. Kahit sirang gitara o hineram mo lang na gitara yan mageenjoy ka parin sa pagtugtog nyan. Naalala ko tuloy yung friend ko sobrang halimaw mag gitara pero never siyang nagkaroon ng sariling gitara.
just my opinion. :D

For me, I love music but sometimes I stop and think kung may kwenta pa ba lahat ng ginagawa ko or nag-aaksaya na lang ako ng oras, pagod at panahon? Then again music is so embedded in me and it has become my identity, my voice and my outlet. For me, I'll never stop dreaming coz' i love what I'm doing... Sa meron o sa wala... sige lang... rakrakan pa din. Ever since the underground bands pa kami before na thrash metal / grunge era of the 90's and now "I'm rockin' with the Cross" from which I've found my true passion in music.
I've played and still playing with musicians and some of them were music graduate on some prestigious university and some of them (NOT ALL) equates music as equals to money and very practical ang approach sa "PAG-TUGTOG" na to the point na I dont know as if they're afraid to explore and experiment and I cannot blame them coz' iyon talaga yung course na tinapos nila and eventually yun yung career and hanap-buhay nila so they really need to earn through music and it's another story (No Offense po! :-)).
What I mean, look at RJ Jacinto, he has all the money pero sige pa rin ang rock n' roll kase yun na yung passion nya and i-martial law mo man ang Pinas, di pa rin papapigil. Up to now, I have tons of compositions, arranged & recorded in my PC and still I can't get over the fact na I still have to keep my normal day job (shifting / Hihi... :-D) since I'm already married and di ko pwede pabayaan ang family ko. As of now, I'm allocating some of my time for my music, family and work.
The bottom line, I'm kinda' frustrated kase I cannot pursue my passion in music as a career but then again, even if i grow old, I'll still play music. nuff said. :-)

Pasali ....
I started playing guitars when I was at my 2nd year high school, just the basics (chords and strum :-D). Then it stopped until I graduated in college (7 years passed). Then I had a band just for fun for a year then stopped again until I turned 30 years old. For all those years that I stopped playing guitars I thought it was not really my thing but I was wrong coz when I turned 30 y.o. I went back to playing guitars. When I learnt how to play solos (Learnt the scales, licks, etc.) thought it was too late to start all over again coz of the reflexes and dexterirty of my fingers but It's not coz somewhat I could play some of my favorite songs.
If your fingers cant do it your heart will teach you how. Passion, that's all about it. And my motivation is watching videos great female guitarist. hehehe. "If she could do that, I could as well" .... this is my motivation line... :lol:

Not all of us have the same feel with regards to guitar playing. Some likes to play metal, some likes blues.
For me, when Im practice I go to the limit of my speed and even learn song that I know I could not handle(the speed, techniques, etc.). That could be my frustration, but at the end of the day, when I grab my guitar my fingers would always play blues licks.
So that's my genre. You could use your frustration to motivate you. Who knows by constant practice (will) and proper inputs, you might surpass your limitation.
Rock'On lang! :mrgreen:

You have to enjoy music first..coz it will just be a technical exercise if you dont enjoy it..even if youre only playing chords..if you really enjoy music you will be satisfied..pero kung nakikiuso ka lang..and yore after fame or money..youll just be frustrated...kasi wala sa puso mo..just look for something else to do.. something that you really LOVE.

Well, ganyan talaga...every aspiring musician won't make it to the finish line....because we all have different mindsets and learning curves... Just like when a person isn't really gifted with Mathematical abilities, kahit anong tutor mo sa kanya, hanggang dun na lang siya .... Amptitude for music varies from one person to another.... So kung ano talaga yung limit mo, just be thankful na lang
My huge weakness is, I'm not really good at memorizing chords and note-for-note guitar lines, I just enjoy winging it 80 percent of the time. I know I have tried to improve on those aspects, but I simply can't...that's my limit and I'm not ashamed to admit it :-D

I am currently residing out of the Philippines. What frustrates me in the place where I am right now is :
I can buy quality guitar equipment if I want to, but I don't see the willingness from my fellow Filipino musicians here to go out of their comfort zone (showband-type gigs and doing all covers) and try to something new and original. I mean, ok I get it, master nila lahat ng top 40 songs and so on, pero once you invite them to jam with you and contribute something original sana kahit kaunti, ayaw nila. Ayaw nilang mag-take ng risk.
Kaya ung mga native citizens sa location ko ngayon, their artform is flourishing and are getting recognized, because they are willing to put out original material and not resort to covers. Di ko alam kung kultura na lang talaga sa tin na ang sukatan ng galing ay kung makopya mo mismo ang di mo kanta.
Frustrated lang talaga.

Me and my band were playing since high school and years up to now. We play gigs but not regularly. And as the guitar player, I always finding/searching on how make my signature sound/tone for our originals.
The problem is, we are all working. We dont have permanent drummer (we have 3 but committed with their own bands). And among us, im the only one who's married and have a child. My wife allowing me to buy my stuffs but she dont want me to gig regularly (kain oras daw, praktis dito praktis duon) but i already accept the fact that i have to prioritize my family. So gig n lng pminsan pag meron. and time will come na mrerecord din nmin mga orginals nmin and compile it as an album of our own....:)

It's easy to get frustrated when you don't alter or spice up your practice routines. I'm a frustrated musician myself AND a slow-learner.....That being said, I have learned how to deal with my shortcomings
Doing your usual metronome + scales/mode drills can be as boring as f#ck.....Tons of backing tracks off YouTube to jam along and improvise with, Rock ballads being one of my favorite because it lets you to think outside the box and at the same time it ''forces'' you to improvise using a Major/Minor scale (aka Ionian scale) .... It's fun and rewarding, you can even run the entire fretboard without being too musical yet you won't still get bored ^-^
