okay fine i can't afford the instruments i want but that's not my fault
Artists always find a way, people will create stuff from literal garbage found for free. Money may facilitate it, making it easier or more convenient, but honestly "lack of tools" is more often lack of will to execute and just using the lack of tools as an excuse.
no like, i specialize in a specific instrument that costs more than a car. i have been finding a way, but i am sick of it i want my own instrument for the first time in like 50 years. going around begging every few years to find a place to play sucks.
Which instrument is that? A pipe organ?
i would love to say but like, that would be doxxing myself. i used to think i was just good but i found a photo of myself on the equivalent of NASA (north american saxaphone alliance yes that is the real name) a month ago and it's blowing my mind
If you truly have a desire to get something out there, you find a way and acquire the skills to do so without having a fortune. You're intentionally limiting yourself to a single artistic outlet, and that also becomes your excuse because that's what you "specialize in". But it's only you keeping you from having a different artistic outlet.
thank you for the lecture, dude. you don't know me nor how many albums i've published.
Uuh...were you in the marines or perhaps a Navy seal too?
nope. they don't take people with disabilities. nor do i take advice from people who start off dismissive.
Or maybe, just maybe he wants to play with his instrument of choice instead of another "artistic outlet".
That "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" crap was supposed to be a sarcastic saying, not meant as real advice.
None of what I'm saying is "pulling yourself up by the bootstrap". It's all about adapting to provide maximum happiness for yourself instead of imposing limits on yourself for no real reason.
you're throwing a student trumpet at a bass saxophone player and saying "hey play this instead". do you know how much a functional one of those costs? my instrument costs more.
what do you play? and at what level?
