    The explanation of NFT's was not really correct - they don't give you any rights over the digital file - only the "right" to be associated with it. "as described recently by one of the original NFT creators Anil Dash in an article for The Atlantic, "[t]his means that when someone buys an NFT, they're not buying the actual digital artwork; they're buying a link to it." ("NFTs Weren't Supposed to End Like This," April 2, 2021)" This is from a Reuters article called "What are the copyright implications of NFTs?"

    I'm sure a bunch of people are commenting this, but: That background vocals trick will HEAVILY depend on the mic used. Sounds like you have a REAL awesome mic, that is able to pick you up quite easily at a distance. I mean, I don't know, I've never tried this myself, but my gut feeling is that it would actually work better with a weaker mic.

    It's actually a bit deeper than this and the original video the guy does a great job explaining it. But you get a different tonal quality depending on how close you are to a microphone through something called the proximity effect. If you record yourself a bunch of different distances it kind of sounds closer to multiple different voices

    Tik tok had the best algorithms of any of these sites. What it ends up showing you is completely unique to you and your tastes, and so if you can only see crap on your feed, that's because you have a taste for eating shit, a poo palate. It's entirely your fault if the videos you see on Tik tok are all awful. It really doesn't take long at all for Tik tok to learn what you're into and show you appropriate accounts and videos for that. It's a bit like all those guys who complain to their Facebook friends that ads on Facebook snd elsewhere keep showing them ads for gay porn and gay dating sites, only for people to respond to them and point out that ads are customised to what the person chooses to seek out, why sites that person chooses to visit, so if they're seeing gay porn ads, that means they've been searching for gay porn. They're telling on themselves when they then complain about it. But yeah Tik Tok should probably be made illegal. Cos the reason it's so good at determining what you like is because it dives way deeper into creating a profile for you than eveye other app does, to the point where it's arguably a complete violation of privacy, and is dangerous because it's controlled by a state government of a country that's basically the biggest enemy of the west, China. Even though there's an uneasy but solid peace right now because of the huge amount of trade the two countries have with each other, if a world war III were to happen, it'd almost certainly be dominated by the 2 biggest players on either side, the US as the biggest force one on side vs China as the biggest force on the other side. So yeah banning Tik Tok, and banning companies from having their computer chips made in China and forcing them to make the chips in the US instead at greater cost, are direct attacks on china, peacetime diplomatic attacks, but attacks all the same. They won't be happy about it. But every huge war starts with something seemingly relatively minor that escalates as the war goes on into something gigantic, so that soon the war is being fought for completely unrelated reasons to the reason the war kicked off in the first place.

    The idea that NFTs allow anything new for artists is literally insane. For one thing, the way this guy is describing it, it's just a sale of a security in a music business, which is something that can be done anyway without any need for a new fad like NFTs. And if you somehow have fans who would pay that kind of money, then just buckle up and make some damn music for them and sell them that instead. Like how the hell is "just get a million dollars in sales before releasing a single piece of music" advice.

    "Stop looking for shortcuts" is the best advice I can give to anyone doing anything. To be blunt, shit takes time. Be patient. Everyone sounds bad at first, there's too much expectation put on people who play instruments to be amazing even within the first two years of playing. You don't need to worry about being good or developing your own style, specifically for guitarists out there here's from one noobie to another: CHORDS, CHORDS, CHORDS. And then, SCALES, SCALES, SCALES. And then, PLAY, PLAY, PLAY. Learn your favorite songs, try making a song of your own and then never show it to anyone because it's likely to be terrible, and keep making songs, and keep making songs, and keep ma- you get it. As with everything in life, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Don't stress, you may feel like you're taking too long but it's just the fact of our nature, we take years to be great at something. I'm the best damn janitor you'll ever have because that's my favorite kind of job. My music sounds terrible, but I'm still learning. Save everything you make even if it sounds bad, it's nice to have a look at your early days, trust me. Curb your ego, make stuff. You won't get anywhere if you don't keep making crap and learning from it. Hell, some of the best things I made were from intentionally making garbage, and it turned out to be my favorite song I've made. You want a real cheat? A real shortcut? Make music you like, don't try to be popular. I love listening to small artists who just make what they like, they do really awesome and interesting stuff I never hear in popular music.

    Hi Sammy - The "rubber band can" needs elastics that don't have nylon/cotton around them, as your hair bands are essentially absorbing/nullifying the vibrations/air waves. To achieve the effect in the video, you can adjust the bands around the can by pulling on the sides of each band, wherein the rubber will grip the side of the can and somewhat hold its tone for a short period. Thanks and hope you have a great day.

You need to cut out the "Oh, I suck at singing, boo hoo" crap and just make more tunes with you as the vocalist. Not only can you carry a tune, and not only do you have a good voice in general, but you're surprisingly versatile. A lot of people would _kill_ to have the grit that you seem to so easily be able to put into your voice. Don't short-change the quality of your vocal skill, man, I implore you.

    Used by John Lennon, my favorite harmonica holder is the Dunlop HH-1. Drawback: only for traditionally-shaped diatonic harps. Pros: 2 pivot points, lighter and smaller than many holders. Costs around 25 bucks.

    The background vocal trick actually does blend together because of the proximity effect! You're essentially getting a little less low frequency response with each step you move backward which makes masking a bit less of an issue

    @12:04 regarding recording background vocals, each take try to make different shapes with your mouth. The idea is to alter the timbre of your voice and adds more variation to each take making it more akin to a multi-person choir.

    The Guitar Center bit hits home, like 10-11 years ago I used to drive to Sam Ash (it might have been MARS Music back then) and play on a Korg Triton for HOURS, I'm talking 4-5 hours a day at least 5 days a week, I ended up just bringing in a case for my floppys and a video camera and would sit at the Triton, none of the sales people got upset cause there would be a small crowd around with dudes freestylin and when they would ask questions I would answer, I know I helped sell at least a dozen Tritons, finally after 6 months I went and bought my own, I miss those days it was ballsy but a ton of fun. Now I wonder how I had that much time free every day.

    I gotta think that the rubber band on the can thing may be worth more experimentation. This probably depends on the can and how easy it is to crush, then on the back side where the rubber bands go around the can, there may need to be something pinching the sides of the rubber bands at different distances causing variation in tension. I don't care enough to try it, but it may have some potential.

    Unrelated to the video: What do I do if I'm having a bad guitar day? Like, I'm playing and playing for an hour or two and it's just not feeling or sounding right. These days are super discouraging and it can be hard to battle the depression that comes with it. There are definitely days where I feel like I'm killing it, but it's tough to get to those days through the bad ones.

    I think the mic trick might work nicely to fatten a lead vocal, singing the same notes for every recording but again, moving back each time. Isn't there a guitar legend of somebody putting a slave amp down the hall and creating an analog slap back when recorded with a mic? I couldn't have dreamed that, could I?
