being a musician
What is it like being a musician? It's an incredibly frustrating, constant struggle with insecurity and fear of inadequacy. It's being under appreciated and under paid. It's the hours of study and practice honing your skills to become the artist you know you will never be and knowing people have no understanding of what it takes to make it appear "natural". It's people talking about their friend or cousin who is an amazing musician and never had a single lesson...who doesn't even practice! It's knowing people feel entitled to what you do...not understanding that they are receiving a gift. It's sore sore fingers. It's the fight to book gigs and the frustration of last-minute cancelations. It's loading up and loading out and everything you don't see. But it's also that one moment when everything clicks...when you are lost in the music and everyone is sharing that vibe. It's the ultimate escape from everything that is wrong in the world

@Billy T Scrapper I here you, My last bend broke up a year ago, put a bad taste in my mouth, chicken shit back stabbers, I'm' just sick of it, it's always the same ending, I have not even harding played at all this last year, I started painting again. We were together for all most 3 years and starting to get some big gigs at all the A list clubs and then just one person betrays you. I'm not a hard ass but when members are talking about the song, you should never play you guitar at full volume it's rude and bad band edicate. That's only time I got on the guys, And for as long as they all have been playing they should know better, That's the only thing that pissed me of.

@Toby Brady Thanks Toby, I'm mostly a Rhythm player, it's what I like doing the best.
Do over
If you could go back and restart your guitar journey, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently? Yeah, I know. I could write a thesis on this. Geeezzz.

I wish my Dad would have supported me. I have a friend that lived one block away, he is a good friend of and he all support he needed, he now plays Bass for 38 Special, he toured with Yingvie Malmsteen back in the day, Pat Travers, he have played with some of the best musicians out there. So I wish my dad would have supported me like that.
Condition
If the metal corners of an amp are worn through the paint to the metal from gigging, is that considered bad and worth offering half what the price is?

You can always recover and you will get more money, it's not that hard to do, YouTube has a video on how to do it.
Music recommendations
Im looking for ideas of songs to play if anyone can give me some suggestions of 90s and 2000s millennial songs that you like that would be helpful. It can be Country, Rock, or Metal if that helps. Thank you
