Have you ever noticed the most successful people in many fields were told they would go nowhere in it? There's some sort of magic at work there.

Spite is a powerful motivator. I lost 100 lbs (50 kg) right after my first GF dumped me for being too fat. I only did it so I could impress her with my results and then reject her advances when she decided I was good enough to date her again. My plan was pathetic, but it still worked out exactly how I wanted. The only thing keeping me motivated the whole time was my seething butthurt.

Shakira is actually a terrible singer but because she has a body that makes men want to stick their sick inside, and she fucked enough jew producers, she became famous.
Listen to a song. Her voice is NOT good.

>>537672458
To be fair, young Shakira had a very quaky voice when she was younger, you can hear it in her earlier songs. I liked it. It made her sound different. She sounds so generic now.

I feel the same but with time instead of losing weight, I get older and all these women I liked in high school come out of the woodwork looking for a man, and I'm like "But your old, and used up, what's the point in that"

Confirmation bias. Everyone's had one person who at some time in their life told them they weren't good at something. That doesn't stop being true just because they eventually were successful in it. For the 99.9% of people who did fail, the comments are unremarkable. For the 0.1% who became famous, it's a headline for retards.

If teacher knew how to do stuff themselves they'd do it themselves. The rest is gatekeeping and jealousy. Meanwhile Eric Clapton can't even read notes.

Yeah, my teachers were pretty spot on

>>537672458

You need to meet the right people at the right time.

It's talent (genetics) + skills (hard work) + luck (pure chance).

You need all 3, only 2 out of 3 will still make you fail.

>Meanwhile Eric Clapton can't even read notes.
And Eric Clapton is just a shitty musician who became famous. There are probably a million better guitar players walking the earth than Eric clapton, and that's not an exaggeration.

>Eric Clapton is just a shitty musician
this is the kind of jealousy anon was talking about. his success makes you say that, even though he was a terrific guitarist and songwriter. you may be right that there's a million better ones, but then you may not. I doubt you know one.
>>
>>537673788
Wow I have never gone deep into her library of songs. Truly atrocious sound.
>>
>>537673660
Yeah see, maybe pure technical proficiency isn't everything and maybe those dudes are missing something important. You're right there's a million better players but nobody wants to listen to some Alan Holdsworth asshole doing micro notes or whatever the hell. Also nobody wants to listen some technical god doing covers. Who gives a shit.
>>
>>537673945
>even though he was a terrific guitarist and songwriter.
Hahaha nigger he didn't even write his most famous song.
>According to Jennings, Clapton wrote the lyrics for the first verse, and asked him to write the rest. Jennings urged Clapton to write the entire song due to the personal subject matter, but eventually agreed. He said it was "a song so personal and so sad that it is unique in my experience of writing songs"
A song so personal that burnout retard couldn't even write it lmao

Hitler was denied art school and he's literally the most famous artist from anyone who's ever been near that school

A) Eric Clapton is a talentless hack.
B) Reading notes is pointless. Musical notation made sense in the before Bach times, before equal temperament. All modern instruments are now 12 TET and trying to fit them to music notation is a pointless waste of time.

she got to where she is because she has a vagina and men wanted to give her money. she started belly dancing when young and got noticed by the perverts and other women and eventually a theater producer, who had ties to Sony Music. it's all bullshit and random luck.

You probably suck dick for pocket change, but hey, I'm not shaming you.

P.S. Yes, I do hate things that are popular. They're shitslop made by literal jewish conmen.

P.P.S. Yes I do play an instrument.

My high school calculus teacher said I would never amount to anything and he was right.

I actually played alto sax for quite awhile. I have very little musical talent, and can definitely say Clapton has none either. I know a hack, and I know when someone far surpasses my ability. Clapton is the hackiest of hacks.

The only thing you need to succeed in the "music" industry is to such jewish producer cock. (Literally, not metaphorically.)

Yes, Clapton swallowed loads too.

>>
>>537673329
Thats not how you do that bud. You need to milk them like your own personal little niggercattle. Flirt with them, use them for practice. Learn to play games with their heads. Let them think they have a chance, take you out, pay for shit, etc. Let em blow you. get yours my boy. Keep playing games with them and stringing them along and when you get tired of them give them some obviously bullshit copout like "oh hehe... sorry I'm part-gay. I thought you knew?" and then ghost em

Nigga you can learn to play an instrument in a couple of months of low-tier effort.
Even nigger junkies manage to do it.
>>
>>537674205
There's a goldilocks zone that isn't just power cords but also isn't Alan Holdsworth and although the general public often has a shit taste just being contrarian doesn't mean you're automatically better. Is just status faggotry imo. I'm sure there's teachers out there who have exactly that kind of attitude towards popular music and if you're going to listen to them you won't be going anywhere. They might be great technicians but that's about it. It's like all these perfect chinese piano kids or Ben Shapiro playing the violin. Nobody cares, you're just doing covers.

>>537674631
Sure. There is nothing inherently wrong with mass appeal, and some very talented people also have wide appeal.
It doesn't change the fact that Eric Clapton is a talentless hack and low iq, low effort retards love bringing up the fact that he cannot read sheet music, which is a skill that is very easy to learn.

Because she does? Shakira's singing is awful. She Wolf, for example, is carried by its background instrumentation, not her voice.
>>
>>537674786
>how
Learn the finger positioning for 3 different chords.
Strum the guitar 6 or 8 times on while playing one chord
Switch your fingers to another chord
Strum a few more times
Rotate between your 3 different chords

Congrats you can now sit on a college quad and "play guitar"
>>
>>537674221
nah man, Clapton is dog shit. He plays too smooth and clean for his chosen genre, and his licks are extremely repetitive. His playing just doesn't have any balls to it. Look at SRV comparatively (although he's a little repetitive too, but that's the blues for ya). He's always been overrated. He's at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to good blues guitarists.

should’ve known right when i saw you
been sending nudes since the start of high school
but i liked your hair, thought that you looked cool
but now i know that there’s no fuckin’ hope
i remember when my friend showed me
he pulled up your nudes on his iphone screen
i wanted to die, wanted to scream
and in that moment i knew there was no fuckin’ hope

the girl i like is the village whore
now i don’t want her anymore
the girl i like is the village whore
and i’ve never wanted to kill myself more

been heartbroken for about six months
i really wish you weren’t a dumb slut
we could’ve done cool things and had a lot of fun
but you went and crushed all my fuckin’ hopes
you do dumb shit and fuck a lot of guys
every time i think about it i wanna cry
wanna crash my car into a tree and fuckin’ die
and every day i think i want to commit suicide

the girl i like is the village whore
now i don’t want her anymore
the girl i like is the village whore
and i’ve never wanted to kill myself more

To the teacher who told me that I would never do anything with my life and that I would just be a lazy bum...Fuck you that was just a lucky guess.

>>537674786
biggest advice i can give someone is to find a song you like and learn how to play it. anything that gets you playing on a daily basis is the best way to start. once you're over the initial hump of your fingers not working, that's when i'd start learning chords and scales and a little music theory. but yeah the main thing at first is to find things you like playing. if you just try practicing chords or scales you'll get bored and you wont play. i played every day when i was trying to learn songs i liked, it feels awesome when it starts to click. and you won't notice your but your fingers will get acclimated quickly. the other piece of advice for practicing is that you wont notice progression while practicing. it's only after you put the guitar down and pick it up the next day or the day after that you will see the progression. you brain rewires itself while you sleep or something. it's actually pretty amazing to see yourself suddenly flying down a few notes that you could barely play just a few days ago.
>>
>>537675597
i forgot to add, to learn a song you want to play, learn how to read tablature. look up the song in tablature or "tab" as it's called. it's easier to read than notes because the fretboard is labeled with numbers. bottom line is your low E string, top line is your high E. some might say that learning tab gets in the way of ear training, and they are right. don't over-rely on tablature. once you get a little more accustomed to playing, try to learn a song by ear every now and then. it pays off loads down the road.
