In music there are different types of musicians. Every musician has a different style of playing, practicing and applying what they learned to their music. Over the years that I have playing I have learned that their are different types of musicians.
1. The Lazy Musician- This type of musician doesn't like to apply themselves when it comes to practicing. There is a challenge when it comes to using the concepts that they have learned.
2. The Determined Musician- This type of musician is focused and goal orientated when it comes to learning and practicing. They may not be the greatest musician however they want to continue to learn. They use the runs and chords as needed and don't go overboard.
3. The Dominant (Showboating) Musician- This musician is an expert at their chosen instrument and will do runs and riffs to prove that they have the skills and talents. Their need is impress people and look good. They want to be the lead and take control.
4. The Nervous Musician- This type of musician is nervous. (Hence the title) This musician is just starting out and is shy about their playing because there maybe people watching or someone who maybe critiquing you.
5. The Sharing Musician- This musician doesn't like to hide their chords or secrets. They are open with the people that want to learn and will provide advise to help them reach their goal. This musician may play conservative and will play what is needed in the song.
From my experience, I have gone through all of these levels however I realized that as a musician you need to have balance. For someone who is just reading this I would suggest that you need to be have a piece of every little trait. In order to become a great musician you need to have balance between all of these areas and be open with yourself.
Keep in mind that some may not agree with the perceptive that I have taken but this is just from my experience.
I hope that I have shed some light on the different types of musicians. Leave a comment down below and let me know what type of musician you are? Do you share traits from the different types of musicians?
