Mix Your Own Band 101
Переглядів 95День тому
As a sound engineer/guitar player, I usually end up with the task of mixing our band when we play live. I spent years as a sound guy so no big deal right? Other musicians may not have been as lucky. i hope these videos give you some insight as to some things I have learned that ended up being shortcuts to getting better sound! #justadude70 #longhairannouncer

If you are considering being done with life.....please watch this video. It took me less than 20 minutes to record it but, it has taken me almost a week to upload it. That tells me that someone really needs to see or hear this and the devil doesn't want you to see it! No editing, no script, just honest words that I have been told to get to you #justadude70

      Hey man, I haven't even looked at my UA-cam channel in a couple of days. I'm here at work and I was just told to look at it. Your comment was 13 minutes ago! Number 1. I cannot express the amount of joy it brings me that I'm even able to read it. Number 2. You ride motorcycles, and play guitar, and. I saw a legacy amp.....I have one too! Not the combo though. Nice playing by the way. Number 3. I'm told to tell you right now that OTHER people's opinions of you don't mean s***! You may be at an all time low right now but the beautiful thing about that is there's nowhere to go but up! Morning about what we are doing is easy but if you will put your boots on and be ready to fully commit and hear HIS words, HE WILL guide you out of it. I don't know what you are going thru my friend just I KNOW you are strong enough to start kicking a$$! So do that. People aren't going to understand you, and they are gonna have preconceived perceptions of you......f*** em! Prove them wrong. Let their negative energy be just that ... THEIRS! Feed off of it and use it to power you forward. Anyone that wants you to do better will help you. Everyone else.... Leave them behind. I'm praying for you my friend. You think I helped YOU today... Well, thru HIM maybe I had a part in it and that's great. Not you sir..... You have helped ME today! Light the way for others and you will in turn light your own path! Lol I just wrote this so friggin fast! Peace

    Great inspiration to hear this morning, wasn't going to click on this, but glad I did! The guitar got me! People have to understand that depression, guilt, self loathing is Not how God made us! This is spiritual attack by Demonic forces that hate you. If they get you to the point of taking your own life, they did their job. God loves and finds value in everyone! And God only asks this of us,...Romans 10:9-10 Ephesians 2:8-9 and remember this,.. 2 Corinthians 5:21

    I’ve never felt that way so I wasn’t tuning in for that but more because I saw a bloke with a guitar and long hair with an odd video title which I knew had to be about that subject matter so was intrigued. I watched to the end to see the guitar playing and thought “Not bad at all”. I liked the wide vibrato too. Cool man. Keep it up. Best from Scotland.

    Man, I used to have one of those! I actually won it at a Yamaha day at a place called West LA Music. Had it signed by Chris Poland too, who actually plays one himself or at least did back then. I sold it like an idiot! Just never fully physically connected with it regardless of it being such a GREAT sounding instrument. I literally took it out of the box and it was perfectly in tune. Never set up once in 6 years because it never needed it.

God became my strength, and turned my pain into the most profound joy and hope I ever had. How is this possible? Jesus is the love of my life! My strength, my God. If I can be saved and overflow with love and joy, anyone can, I am convinced. If someone hearing and reading this feels the pull of your heart. Talk to Jesus right now, ask Him for help, you're loved, wanted by God. ...give him the steering wheel of your life and He will change your life... will give you life.

    I was in that place again last night. I have been married for 11 years. Together for 16 years (since high school). I wasn’t the best husband but I tried my best. A guy tried to murder me at work and I ended up with PTSD and was put on 6 different medications. I was scared and panicked 24/7. I know I was hard to deal with. Then one day my wife tells me that she doesn’t love me anymore. I hurt myself real bad that day. She was my everything and her telling me that broke me. I woke up in a hospital and then got shipped to a mental health facility. Had to stay for 7 days. When I got out she told me I couldn’t come home. I lived out of my truck. I tried everything to show her that I could be better but she wasn’t having it. I told her I needed her. She wouldn’t hear me. We have 2 children. My mother in law let me stay with her. She, however lived in me and my wife’s first house we bought after we got married. It was torture to relive all of those memories all the time. Several months went by and I still couldn’t come home. I started smoking. I tried everything to be okay but it wouldn’t work. In my despair, confusion, and anxiety, I suggested a divorce. I didn’t want one. Almost immediately after I suggested it, she was on board. I tried to explain I only said it because of my emotions but to her, it was done. We have 2 children. I understand that she hurts too. We’ve had tough times. Also beautiful times too. I’m just so broken and it’s hard for me to fight anymore. I saw your guitar and clicked the video. I really like Les Paul models. I have an Epiphone that I play. Making music and reading my Bible have definitely helped me, but there are times when those thoughts come and hit so hard. Thank you for this video. It encourages me to hang on for a bit longer.

And if it goes well? What if it really does go well? You've screwed yourself and look, in the next life you start all over again! So do you want all your efforts so far to be in vain? All the fight, all the learnings, all the changes and practicing, all the experiences, all the laughters, all the joy, the love, the good food, the music...? Seriously?

And in my humble opinion the trick is to understand that after all, the life we are living now is a work in progress of all the lives we lived in the past and so to evolve to the next level we have to keep going and see how this one life will end. All the benefits harvested in this one and in the previous ones will be implied in the new one and so there will be an evolution that will bring advantages: there will be more fulfilment and positive things which is not excluded that they can come even in this current experience if we are persistent and focused. Anyway, good luck in your projects and your life experience, you deserve it!

    Life isn't easy and it's not supposed to be. Not everyone's strong enough to get through it. That's their problem All I hear from those people are excuses and externalized blame. "People do this. I don't have that"... boohoo. It's not other people's job to make sure you have what you need. I have no sympathy for crybabies. Sue me. You think they need positivity and love. That's not what they need, friend. They need a reality check. The reality is your life is your responsibility. No one can make it better but you. Not even God. That's a load of shit too. That's the ONLY thing that's gonna pull them out of this "Poor me" mindset they're perpetually stuck in

      Lol well I can't disagree with everything you said and you make some valid points. We do disagree I see on a few things and that's ok. I do agree that people should be tough. In my opinion, EVERY man should own a pair of boots. We probably feel the same way. (If you do not I'm gonna make fun of you and your comment will hold no water with me lol) "It is not other people's job to make sure you have what you need"... Agree. "That's not what they need friend, they need a reality check." Disagree/somewhat agree ... It's circumstantial. Maybe their"reality check" was when they saw someone they love put a shotgun to their chest and pull the trigger.... As I have seen. Have you? Lemme just say.... It's a game changer and that is just one of them I have personally witnessed in my lifetime. "No one can make it better but you." Agree to an extent. "Not even God, that's a load of s*** too." Disagree. I've been there my friend. I believed HE was there but I cursed him when I was young. I refused to follow Him thinking He was mean amongst other things. What I didn't realize is that I was misguided and mislead as we all can be at times.i mean seriously, if I'm right...I get to go to heaven. If I'm wrong or I don't believe... Them there is just.... Nothing? I'll run the dice on believing and it has worked out for me. With the s*** that I have seen and been thru.... There is no longer any question for me. But, that's just me. A poor mindset is definitely a thing you have to work on. I get it... I'm old school. I'm the one of the last guys anybody wants to eff with. I used to fight all the time and I was good at it. I liked it. I can still throw hands these days if I need to. I'm a firm believer that everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth lol! But times are different and things are tough for folks. My cup holds A LOT before it runs over. I'm sure yours does too. I can tell by the way you talk. What has taken me a long time to learn is that not everybody's cup holds the same amount of bulls*** before it starts running over. That's ok.... I want to help people that want to help themselves. I also want to help light the way for those that can no longer find theirs. I'm glad that you have never needed anyone's help. We are similar I suppose. I can't and would never try to force God on you or anybody else. I can only give you my experiences and what He has done for me. Everybody is different and needs something different. How many "weak" men go into the Marines and come out as bad a$$e$? Lots of em. What I'm saying is some folks still need a little reinforcement, positivity, and a little coaching. We can argue about that all day but you or anyone else will never be able to change my mind. My path has been illuminated clearly for me and I will walk it alone or with many just to help one person. I know you "don't need it" but I'm praying for you my friend. Thanks for the convo. ✌️

    Friend, I wish you well and you are so right to plead with folks not to kill themselves. Right on. But you don't know how everyone feels.

    • @garyavans70
      @garyavans70 7 днів тому

      No sir I do not know how everyone feels. Full disclosure..... I don't have to. It May only be ONE person that I understand how they feel. That's who needs to see this.... That one person whoever that may be. It was important to me that folks see vulnerability in other people and that is ok to be that way at times. However, I can tell you right now that I'm being told to tell you that it's ok to talk about it. It's not a sign of weakness, is not a sign of needing help, is not a sign of giving up. Sometimes it helps to simply have another person's perspective on things. Our mind will misdirect us quite often. God does not. We just have open up our ears and hear HIS voice. ✌️

    Brave and good video bro! I totally got ya, this algorythm is scary, seems yo read my mind. Dont know how this video got in my way but it did. I've been there also, still depressed as f**k, thank god i never had no gut to take my own life. Its just very selfish solution, same time i understand that your life is your life and you do what you do with it, i get it.. To be honest, id rather be dead than alive right now but things will get better eventually. Dont know if my message makes any sence, but good to see someone talk these things out loud, not easy thing to do.

    • @garyavans70

      My brother I'm told to tell you (lol sometimes i do as I'm told) that your depression is coming from the things in your past. Turn them over to HIM and move on. Now i understand that it's not easy but just the fact that you reached out tells me that you CAN do it! Please hear me.... You had/have the "guts" to do it.... But you chose not to and you know why. I'm thankful that you didn't. You were strong enough to listen to the RIGHT voice and be an effin man about it. You are a warrior brother i can tell. So show everyone how it's freaking done! Focus on what is ahead of you. Make a plan and execute it one small step at a time. Depression isn't YOUR problem, that's the devil's problem. Give that s*** back to him and start kicking a$$!!! Things aren't going to get better "eventually"..... They get better starting today!!!!! I'm praying for you my friend! ✌️

    If you can see this comment PLEASE read the other comments for this video. There are so many people hurting and there are so many success stories! There are also lots of other great videos/content makers that have commented. I do not claim to be a "content creator." I started doing these because I truly believe in my heart that if i am still learning then so are other people! And, i was told by Jesus that i needed/had to! Nothing more, nothing less. If you see a comment from someone struggling please don't hesitate to offer your perception, two cents, and help! We HAVE to team up together to turn things more positive in this world. Share your story here or another video I have done or about to do. Or, someone else's video. Lighting the path for someone else usually results in YOUR path being lit up as well! I freaking love that so much. God Bless and hang in there. Just give me and these people 30 days to help you. ✌️
