Just to add one small recollection, Soundcheck started with Little Pretty and that crazy Ibanez AC he plays on it now. And he got to a certain point and stopped everything and (I am paraphrasing) called out the lighting guy for going dark on him at that spot every time. He said I can't see the guitar neck! Can we fix that? And they fixed it and there was zero drama.

A student of mine got to open for him once and he spent hours talking music with him. That wig tho...

Of all the guitar god types I think I only like Gilbert more than ol' Jack Butler hisself I'm also somebody who thinks that while Vai is great as a musician and all around person, I think *most* of his music lands outside my own tastes, but occasionally he really knocks it out and makes some genuinely good stuff. That latest album of his, Inviolate, is actually pretty good though. There aren't too many melodies in it that you'll find yourself humming later, but I think it's a great album to put on in the background if you're a fan of nice sounds and soundscapey stuff in general. vvv lol GreatGreen fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Oct 25, 2022 |

I got more stupid music stuff! My sister found a Ukelin at some antique store and after some tough love it makes noise again. https://twitter.com/SAJtDL/status/1585370209619410944 https://twitter.com/SAJtDL/status/1585372125028028416 No minor chords and no frets and the violin strings are C scale only, but I'm going to set it up with headphones and a looper pedal later and have some fun.

I guess the stupid is me at this point. Some months ago, field balm posted a picture of a telejemocaster and bonhair suggested a mockingbird done like that. I'm now considering partsing-up a mockingcaster (telebird?) as my first project guitar.

More of a pet peeve than stupid music poo poo I guess but man I can't stand the term "music producer". If you make music call yourself a musician, it just sounds so commercialized to me.

it’s the least bad term for whoever has to wear a dozen hats (composer, engineer, musician, sound designer) and ultimately the person who determines the overall feel of the work historically what’s bad is that on the blue forums they act like it’s some protected term that you can’t just call yourself

You can be a musician and not know how to turn on a computer and you can be a producer and not know how to tune a guitar. They aren't interchangeable terms.

I mean, if you're making music that inherently makes you a musician imo, but I realize I'm mostly splitting hairs on this one.

Yeah, making music makes you a musician, but it's understandable that some people would want to make the distinction, after being asked "Oh cool, what instrument do you play?" a millions times. It's fascinating to see the delineation of the term 'producer' in the past few decades, especially how it relates to Hip-Hop and electronic production. If you make a beat and someone buys it to rap over, are you a producer? Or does the term require more involvement in the whole track; knowing when to edit your instrumental to complement the vocals, when to double-track vox or use effects, etc.? I would say even the former (just making the beat and selling it) still qualifies as 'production', at least in the sense that your sale contract should probably ensure that you get a credit or at least mention, but there's the inherent ambiguity in the term.

I'm a musician and when people follow that up with what instrument I play I could technically answer that I'm a guitarist but that feels weird because I'm pretty bad at it and the stuff I make available publicly is electronic rave music that I sequence. Calling myself a synthesist or a player of the sampler feels forced (if I played live ever e: or played keys ever, keyboardist might work, but I don't). So producer's been my go to but if you have a better idea lmk JamesKPolk fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Nov 10, 2022 |

I've been making music for 15 years, and if people ask me what instrument I play, I just say keyboard. I mean technically I don't even own any hardware gear right now, just a 49-key MIDI controller. That's a keyboard, though! It's easier than saying "I play the DAW" or some poo poo that a lot of people won't understand.

Yeah I pretty much just say I play "synths" or "the synth", keyboard for the olds even though I'm a pretty sloppy keys player and sequence everything. Holding off on the "synthesist" title until I start building a modular and that modular becomes worth more than my vehicle.

Tyler from the Music Is Win YouTube channel interviewed Steve Vai and Vai promised him to play his favorite song live but it was one that Vai only ever played in the recording, so he played it live and Tyler plays through it himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90VVAtFYXIk In the comments Vai responded: quote:Well well, I happened upon this post and it sure did make my face smile big. You are correct, I did keep my promise, and you were what I needed to help me finally decide to bring this tune to the stage so thank you. I really do enjoy playing it. And you are also correct in that this song is deceptively difficult to play for all the reasons you mentioned. But I will say how surprised and delighted I was to see you perform it. You did a great job Tyler. It's always inspiring to see someone play one of my songs, and so well and in touch with it. Thank for taking the time to learn it so well. I think my favorite part was when you almost fell off your chair. There's a few notes in there that do that to me too! Keep going young man! You are contributing beautifully to our extended guitar family. s Vai's a solid dude.
