I get the feeling that when I go to a surf show, a lot of the audience is made up of musicians. I was wondering what the makeup is here at SG101. I'm sure there are more options than I provided, but I had to stop somewhere My Web Site - Tunes - Pictures - Guitar Projects - Hard Rock Cafe Guitar Pins Last edited: Jan 16, 2007 21:23:42 |

I end up with about 2-3 gigs per month if you average it. Chris —"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been" |

Vince I can relate, I lived for a while in Wellsboro PA, try finding anything live worth listening to. OK, once a celtic band blew through town. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

For now, I just play to my bedroom walls, so that's how I voted. I'm gonna try to change that, this year. Matt —Fast Cars & Loud Guitars! |

I've been trying to play blues for years. But I just rediscovered surf a couple of months ago. It's been the most fun I have had playing in years. Since this is all new, I have been learning new riffs and songs everyday, I can't get enough. Just playing for the walls right now, but I hope that changes soon.

I had to be honest and say I'm a noodler, but I aspire to be good enough to play to the walls some day (soon?). Beyond that...who can say? I'm not actually picking out "Pipeline," though; "Penetration" and "Journey to the Stars" and "Walk Don't Run" are my main practice tunes. Much of the time I'm doing guitar exercises to get my glissando down; THEN I can really try "Pipeline" in earnest.

Do I get to vote twice for playing in two bands? If that's the case, there are some folk on here who could vote 4 or 5 times... ~B~ |

how would you vote if you play many differnet bedrooms, than? shouldn't there be a category 'serious studio musician?', like, semi-pro or at least seriously involved recording, without playing live? Klas and KK come to mind, though Im not sure what KK is actually up to now? WR —Rules to live by #314: |

And I envy you for being able to play drums, which I happen to suck at...badly. Give me two #2 pencils, and anything but a real drum kit, and I can beat out some awesome rhythms. Sit me down at a real drum kit, with two real drum sticks, and it's more like - thump, thump, thunk, tink, clang, crash. In a way, I can call myself a percussionist, however, given what I can do with a couple of pencils/pens, and I also play electric bass, which I've seen used in percussion ensembles.

I voted "sometimes player"...but, like WR wrote above, I am mostly a "home studio-ist"...I dig that 4-track recorder! In addition to playing to somewhat live audiences, I play to walls and garages...but, i also play to hard drives and internets... -dp |
