Someone once told me "you are so lucky you know how to play the guitar and sing". And yes. I do feel lucky that I managed to do the job needed to be able to be able to get to my level. But You are seriously wrong if you think talents just show up in someone. When you see and hear a troubadour playing live, it could be a good idea to remember this is someone who work hard to get where he/she is. Not does it only takes thousands of hours of practice but it also takes despair, impotience, close-to-quitting, pain and any other bad feelings related to this damn instrument that we love so much.
On top of that there is economy as a big challenge. A troubadour needs a lot of equipment to be able to do gigs. The guitars by it self is a great barrier to overcome (and you'll ned a good one), but the PA costs, the cables costs, the pedals costs and the stands costs so on and so forth.
But lucky? Yes we are. None of us would do this if we didn't love it. One can loose the motivation from time to time, but the love for guitars, singing, entartainment, and to make show and fun. It's still there.
In this blog I will write a lot about my experiences with other troubadours. This is not a "role the dice" blog, so I will never mention any other troubadour in a negative way.
I will also write a little bit about myself, the love of guitars, guitarists, to music, rock'n roll and whatever guitar and musicrelated that comes naturally.
Stay tuned for a blog post near you
