I play guitar. The ones I can find in my room right now are an Art and Lutherie AMi, an SG copy with a Bigsby that I built last summer with my Dad, and a Line 6 Variax (old model).

sorry, that's just stupid. I get paid anywhere from $150 to $300 a night and average about 4/5 shows per month. Oh and I always get a bar tab included - so I'm not paying for any of my drinks out of my take anyway. In fact, with exception to tipping the staff, I refuse to pay one damn dime at a bar I'm playing at.


where in the hell do you live Frankie J????

Clearly the local musicians around there have set the standard "pay rate" themselves and it's their own damn fault. If musicians refused to play for just beers, the bars would be forced to either pay you people or turn on a radio.

Maybe you should go around mafia style and get these local musicians to "rethink" their acceptable compensation standard.

If people are happy with it, fair enough I guess. But I'm with you Cin - I'm providing a service, the same as a chef, or a barman. I do the work, I get paid. The fact that I love doing it is besides the point. I mean sure I play a handful of charity gigs a year, but I'm also hoping to get future business out of doing so.

Bars around here just don't make enough money to pay... This is Scotland, there are sooooo many bars everywhere, so they can't afford to pay if they want to remain open... The pub business round here is ruthless Tongue

I successfully rickrolled my former lover, and he was a computer nerd for Microsoft. Painful punishment ensued. Tongue It was so worth it.
