Good for him, you sound like a shitty friend.

This. If OP was a good friend he'd help his buddy get better not shit on him anonymously like a coward.

The fucks a chord
Do you mean a kord?

You should sleep with him.

people should strive for some level of competency before getting pie in the sky ideas

People have goals and aspirations, while you're anonymously talking shit about him on the internet.

this

>having a band
>pie in the sky
You have the understanding of music of a critic, which is the worst relationship with music. And, not even a good critic because you don't understand where music comes from

Reminder that this is unironically how Yas Forums acts in the wild.

I've been making music for 8 years and have 500,000 plays on my music

Then you woke up.

well, hot titties, but you're still an annoying bitch who needs to empower his friends better

Based OP keep gate keeping

He should start a harsh noise band. You don't need talent or skill for that.

why should I foster people's delusional beliefs? I care for him. I think he should practice and become skilled before he embrasses himself

Then you don't have the worst relationship with music but you still have shit taste

>I care for him.
Tell him how you feel

a band can be a community of shitty players and a network of encouragement to improve. did you never go to highschool?

>friend has started playing the guitar
>been at it since December
>now owns 3 different guitars all near 1k dollars in value
>wants another
>also wants to buy an expensive ass amplifier
>only plays covers of boomer bands
someone tell me how this is okay

Show him this thread. Then he will realise how much you really care.

Mastercrafted bait

bait?

Pink Floyd couldn't play their instruments at first either. So, you never know. Probably won't make it in today's music climate though.

proof?

captain beefheart made the best album of all time without a time signature, skill, or talent

must consoom

This is a actually the exact setup for playing boomer covers. Expensive shit to wank someone else's music.

>500,000 plays on my music
What, total, between all tracks?

I know some artists who have 500,000 plays one one track ALONE and they're still literally whos working minimum wage to support themselves. The wonders of what a Spotify playlist placement can do for you.

You're not special, OP.

That's because he had a talented band to transcribe and learn his ramblings into actual music, and Frank Zappa to support them,

>why do people enjoy things I don't????

OP you're the worst kind of pleb because you pretend music is some impossibly high art form that only a select few can do.

Anyone can make music OP. That's the beauty. Classic albums have been made by people who were relative amateurs.

What your friend needs is persistence. The fact he wants to join a band is good. He clearly loves music and has visions of what he wants to do as he gets better. A band can actually benefit him because that way he can learn off of other musicians, which is much better than self-teaching.
