    Re gear: best advice I ever got for life was “enjoy the things you have, not having things”. If you enjoy the things you have you’ll always be happy. If happiness comes from having stuff, you’ll never have enough and you’ll never be happy.

    You're spot on with the attitude part! I believe that's why Jason Newsted is one of the most loved members of Metallica. While he wasn't classically trained like Cliff or a funk bassist like Rob, he had a charisma that's irreplaceable.

    I've been browsing basses. Looking to collect all the shiny pieces of equipment that catch my eye. Trying to throw money I don't have at things I don't really need and.
    As I'm scrolling, I hear "Prioritizing playing over gear." I stop scrolling my apps and start focusing on picking up my bass. Words I needed to hear.
    Thank you, Rob.

    Great video! After playing with lots of bands for over 20 years, I can say with confidence that if you cover the steps 1 and 2 you are pretty much set. Steps 3 and 4 are a must if you plan to gig and the 3rd is the key to success. I'm not a successful musician btw but I could pretty much fit in any band, gig whenever and record, because I had steps 1, 2 4 and 5 covered.

    Awesome video rob! In high school we had a class called the musicians process that I took 3 out of my 4 years of highschool. It taught me a lot about proper practice and time management. The class was amazing. I also highly recommend the book the inner game of music for anyone interested. It talks about that inner voice in your head and how it holds you back or distracts you and when you can turn it off how you enter this flow state. It's super interesting. Lastly going back to practicing all the chimaira videos I posted were filmed like an hour after learning the song. I wanted a more raw feel to them with mistakes and all. But plan to update them soon kinda showing the evolution of a year practicing them versus the 5 or 10 minutes to a day of learning them!

    Hey Rob, what was your decision for mainly playing a single pickup guitar?
    You are one of the players why I chose a single pickup guitar, along with Chuck from Death. I love the simplicity, less distractions.
    Interested to know your take

    • @RobArnoldWorld
      @RobArnoldWorld  4 месяца назад

    Great video man, you're right on the money. Especially about A. Knowing your equipment and B. not expecting a certain speaker or pick-up to replace pick time. I've been playing metal since I was 14, I'm 52 now ( older man to younger men , save for retirement it comes quicker than think it will) I always sound like me regardless of the amp I use because I came up listening to and learning the big 4 before they were the big 4. For my generation the palm mute and down picking was king . Im getting off topic lol . Killer advice Rob

    What amazes me about the musician community in every place how many actual douchebags there are. And they get away with being douchebags. That part I never got.
    It doesn't take no effort to be chill, and it just irks the shit out of me to see people put so much energy into being assholes to other people. Especially in the local music communities. I've seen this firsthand in the big three cities. Same shit different place and that goes for a lot of club owners as well.

    The last point is one I have been telling myself, stop chasing certain gear, just use what I have and just sit and learn to play better. If I just use amp sims on the computer, then there isn't much to fiddle with, and don't touch the physical stuff until I need to. All great points here.

    I remember when I use to play with an all christian band, and I was the only non-religious member. Dude, I hated it because the music was not for me. The only reason I joined/stayed is because no other band would take me. So, I left and practiced as hell until other bands took interest. Now, I only join bands that's compatible with my music palette.

    I feel like I'm stuck... I have a 2 piece band with my best friend, and our attitudes towards playing are not aligned... he's unmotivated, lazy, or just outright doesn't care to participate. I keep trying to push him, and it takes him months just to play something... I have no idea what to do anymore except just do everything myself, but I'm not a drummer (he is) and programming drums is such a pain in the ass, plus, I don't know anyone else who plays drums lol

      It's easier to do everything yourself or to find someone online to play with then to change your band mate's atitude. You can also use an app or pickup to convert audio to midi and use a looper app or pedal to help program and have drums play real time. I have a similar problem with my band mates they just don't have the same energy to create as I do, but I'm hopping they will be an asset in the marketing and image departments in the future.

      A lot of successful bands are made up of guys like yourself (hardworking and motivated), who find one another and team up.
      It usually takes playing in a few bands to weed out the weak... And then the strongest, or most motivated, and most talented guys, look for others who share their same passion.
      So if you really want it, keep your eyes open for guys who really want it too.
      Also often times, established bands will swoop up hungry guys and bring them into their fold. So keep yourself out there, and your chances for success will increase!🤘

    I think you do yourself a disservice when you talk about the rockstar charisma on stage when comparing yourself to Jim - the style you have ripped through riffs and solos with on stage is second to none if you ask me 🤘🏼

    Kiss is such a bad example. "So yeah if you have TONS OF MONEY to throw at pyrotechnics and big stage lights, you too can gain popularity through music!!!"

    I would add. Dont expect your band mates to work as hard as you do. Not everybody has time to practice all the time. Ive lost bands because i kept getting pissed over being the only one who praxticed.

      Yep, but it's survival of the fittest. So just try and align yourself with other guys who share your level of determination. Because the more guys like you that you have in your band, the greater your chances of success!
