moto89 0 #1 February 6, 2008 Now don't get me wrong, I play a little guitar, but living with a serious serious musician can get a little rough sometimes. I've been non-stop ear fucked by 20 seconds of a spanish song for the last 3 hours. Paper thin walls means there is no escape. Less talking, more flying.

Shotgun 1 #4 February 6, 2008 My ex (who used to live with me) was a professional musician. He was always playing guitar/singing/working on new songs, but it never bothered me. In fact, I usually enjoyed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morrison79 0 #8 February 6, 2008 I feel your pain. One of my old roommates was always playing his guitar and a few other instruments. Problem was you would be watching a movie out in the living room and he would come out and start playing his fucking guitar on the couch next to you. It would piss me off to no end. Other problem was he couldn't keep a beat. He would play the same couple of songs all the timeIt got even worse when he bought a snare drum and a stack for his guitar. Thank god I don't live with him anymore cause i might be in jail for murder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #10 February 6, 2008 Could be worst, your roommate might play the Oboe or perhaps the Eb Clarinet...OR your roommate could be learning how to play the bagpipes. Or what if your roommate was a hard-core professional Jaw-Harp player? Get some ear plugs and have a drink. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Then my little brother started playing the drums when he was a teenager...hours of drums..and I do mean hours.DPH # 2 "I am not sure what you are suppose to do with that, but I don't think it is suppose to flop around like that." ~Skootz~ I have a strong regard for the rules.......doc!

lawrocket 3 #12 February 6, 2008 I was. But, I limited the sound. I found it easy enough to plug in my guitar to my processor and then use headphones. With the door closed it was like I wasn't there. And nobody else was, either. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #16 February 6, 2008 I guess since I haven't played my horn in about 3 years my wife doesn't mind. She did like coming to hear me play, she hated it when I was practicing. Even with a practice mute. Although I've really been itching really bad to find a semi-local jazz ensemble and building my chops back up. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Snowwhite 0 #17 February 6, 2008 Streaker played in one band or another for a couple of decades. We got used to making do on 'practice' nights. The funny thing was, when our kid started a band and everybody came to practice at our house, it only took THREE nights of practice to drive Streaker crazy.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
