Musician Problems

Band members/collaborators that cancel constantly at the last minute.

People messing with the bass, mid, and treble settings on your amp mid-use.

Wow! It’s been way too long since I’ve updated this thing, but it lately has blown up in followers. Hello everyone! Glad you’ve decided to follow this blog. Between work, music, and the ongoings of life, I have had little time to sit down and update Musician Problems. I’m glad to see so many people appreciating the problems that I and other fellow musicians have shared thus far. We’re all in this together, and we are like one big family. If you have any Musician Problems you would like to share, send them to me and I will post them for you. If you would like credit, let me know and I will share your URL, website, name, etc etc. Whatever it is you would like to be credited as. Keep in mind I try not to share the same problem twice, or if they are very similar to another problem already posted. There are close to 100 problems already posted so it’s understandable to get the same one, or for you not to see what has already been shared, but I urge you to read through the problems first before submitting. I double check anyway to ensure quality, but it will save time on both ends if you do. Please and thank you! Because of heightened interest in the blog, I will put forth more effort to bring content to you people. I hope you enjoy it and keep sharing your problems! Stay lovely. - Eric

Having to keep a supply of batteries for your acoustic/electric on hand.

Prospective band members that barely know how to play their instrument.

Sound people that treat you like a burden when you haven't done anything to deserve that kind of treatment. It's your job to help us get situated on stage, we don't need your snarky attitude when we're trying to get everything situated with you.

Routine maintenance on your instruments and equipment that run your wallet dry.

When one of your favorite local bands to play with has broken up.

Getting a new sound system/new equipment in general and not having a single clue how to use or operate it.

Abusive music teachers that make you consider quitting your instrument of almost ten years. (Submitted by: Anonymous)

Transporting your instrument through cold weather. It truly is a hellish nightmare at times.

Afraid of putting ads out looking for fellow musicians, fearing you'll get some creeps.

Those hard to reach places on your instrument when you're trying to clean them.

When all band members are on completely different schedules with work, school, etc.

Thank you to all of our followers! We've finally hit the 100 mark. You guys are rad! Don't forget to submit your own problems if you have any. We'll be happy to post them for you to share with fellow musicians! - Eric & Jordan

if as many people like/reblog/share it as possible, it can happen so easily" Eric: Everyone check this out if you would! Give it a look and help this guy achieve his dreams!

Band members that have a little too much to drink before a set or practice.
