I am my own worst critic...
If I'm being objective with myself, here are a few things I know for sure:
If I'm being objective with myself, here are a few things I know for sure:
- I have an above average ear. I can hear discrepancies within 5 cents of a pitch... This helps me tune my instruments and perform/sing with good intonation.
- I have a decent idea of how to write music, as in I know chords and how to compose melodies. This came from an inherent musical sense (much like the ear) but also from a bit of schooling and independent research.
- I'm only a decent instrumentalist. I can play guitar, keyboard, and a few other instruments at a mediocre level. However, this is acceptable because they accompany what is my best attribute, my voice (affirmed over the years by many people). Also, the style of music I write is of a folksy,singer/songwriter variety, so it works.
- I am a strange lyricist...
- I don't have aspirations of stardom. I have a decent idea of how an "indie" musician can sustain some novel success by building relationships with fans, performing regularly, and releasing new material.
- In order to do the above, I need better demos. These demos would largely serve as a representation of my live sound to potential bookers, and if they are of good enough quality, could even serve as potential revenue (should I choose to monetize, which I will eventually).
