Most were similar to what Laz mentioned and I definitely agree it won't neceissarily help the rock and roll career.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-63060 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-63057 Wed, 07 Jul 2004 21:18:00 +0000
Berklee is important if you're hoping to be a virtuouso violinist, and you'll get more knowledge than you know what to do with, but it won't necessarily help your rock'n'roll career.

For that I recommend that you go to the best school you can get into, in a city that has a good music scene (bars etc). Get a "useful" degree, and take lots of music classes, form a band, work in a studio, and jam all you can.

I see alot of posts from people and I think they tend to be the younger ones that all seem to say go for what you like a forget about the money...well when your 16 or so living at home not having to pay bills and survive that's easy to say and when I was young I thought the same way.

But even though having alot of money won't bring happiness or contentment the lack thereof sure ain't fun.

You have to ask yurself if you could take living in apartments with a bunch of roomates, no food half the time etc. It gets old real quick.

His best bet is to get into a college that will teach him about the business end and pursue playing on the side.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-62860 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-60648 Wed, 12 May 2004 09:25:44 +0000

just a little story.]]> Guitar Players Discussion PsYcHoNIK https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-50351 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-50350 Wed, 04 Feb 2004 05:00:51 +0000
I remember being young and wanting to be a rock star.  I practiced 6 to 8 hours a day.  Eventually I became very good at the guitar, good enough to hook up with a band that was going places.  Then I met my wife, fell in love got married and had my daughter.  That was somthing that I thought I wanted more than anything else.  Not more than a year later, on MTV I saw a video from the band that I had left to live a normal life.  If I had stuck with it, I would be right there with them now.  

The irony?  My wife left me and my daughter about a year and a half ago for an up and coming "rock star"

Life likes to throw things at you when you don't expect it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion David_Mohn https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-50350 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-50349 Wed, 04 Feb 2004 00:44:57 +0000 My parents are even interested in music, so I can't relate.

Besides, I don't want to get married and have kids. :P I never have. And I'd commit suicide before becoming "like everyone else". Sorry, but that's me all over.


Ahh the best laid plans of mice and men. Or, women as the case may be... ;D Not trying to be mysterious but as a guy that's been around a bit, All I can say is life always has a few funny surprises for us all.  ;D]]> Guitar Players Discussion TwistedFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/what-to-do-after-high-school/paged/3/#post-50349
