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

String Height Adjustment
I’m thinking of attempting a truss rod adjustment on my accoustic. The strings seem too high on the fretboard. Looking for tips and insight in what I need to look for or be careful of. I’ve googled the info but wanted some community feedback.

Are you 'picky'?
I saw a question on fb that piqued my interest, but in a twisted way. They were asking 'what pick do you use?' My response was this here, I have no idea what pick it is, I don't lose pics often, so I will use this until it dies, then grab another one, it doesn't particularly matter exactly what pick I wind up with. So this bring on my question, just how finicky do you feel about your set-up? People ask how often they should set up their guitar? I have a 20 year old strat, I bought it from a reputable music store, and it never occurred to me about set-up. I recently got curious, and tested each fret/string position above the 12th fret, and they all seem great. (As I told my brother, I don't get up there often... lol)
