Thread 33922502

I have this problem where I keep telling people that I want to make art and music, but when I'm by myself I'm too burnt out or hungry to actually get better and practice. For me it starts with simply not knowing what or how to practice. Artistically I'm intermediate and don't think I need any major help, but for music I'm absolutely fucking stumped. I commonly forget something right after it's been told to me in any music lesson and just jam. And jamming is pretty good, it's just... I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing, what tuning I'm in, I just play it by ear. People say it's talent but it's nothing cohesive outside of just basic pattern recognition. I don't know, can anyone help?

Vertical, not horizontal. Obviously something sharp too. Maybe the wrists

Learning song structure is a good place to start because no matter what you're playing it's ultimately the bones of any genre no matter how good or bad it is

stop smoking weed wet brain

In my mind this translates to stop jerking off because I don't smoke but I jerk off and drink a fuck ton. My job isn't even that hard, I just keep thinking about what I'm gonna eat for dinner or something and chatting with people

Good for you seriously definitely don't smoke weed because you will only increase your symptoms. Maybe get checked out for adhd and get an adderall script. Does wonders for concentration. If you stop jacking off you might be more interested in getting show ready to play music live because you might meet girls?

>drink a fuck ton
also cut down on this or cut it out it's taking you away from actual things you want to do like music

I was on it when I was a kid but even though I have insurance I'm not sure how I can get prescribed again, I have high blood pressure too (naturally because of drinking and a shitty diet) so my doctor told me I shouldn't take it because it's a stimulant.

This is actually difficult with AI porn being so magically good. I regret going to /r/ and learning that you can pretty much make any porn you want now. When I relapse it's to the girls I've always wanted to fuck but never did

Fuuuuuck no booze... Alright. Tomorrow is a good day to start being clean. Skyrim's birthday too.

You'll never be an artist if you succumb to your vices constantly, simple as that. And if you do, your brain will be so fried with mundane pleasures that your art won't trascend the already saturated universe of artist out there. Translate your jamming to actual structured compositions, anyone can play over some loops.

And making songs, albums, EPs, videos is easy with enough dicipline, the hard part is actually managing and marketing your art balancing artistic integrity and economic profit, go all the way from the start or you'll burn out quick

Doubt it. Especially for musicians.
Since their most common cause of death is overdose.
