What is a musician?

SUNNYWINTERS	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 3:33 AM WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER A MUSICIAN ?
netarchy	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 3:42 AM A musician is someone who puts their soul into the notes they produce. If you can't put your heart in your music, you are not a musician, and more than likely the resulting mass of notes will be utter trash.

KevBrock	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 7:07 PM In my opinion, a musician is someone who writes good songs. Doesn't matter what level of a musician you are, whether you're a begginner, intermediate, or expert musician, it doesn't matter as long as you have the talent and hard to write good songs. That's what being a musician is. If the Beatles can write many songs with 3 or 4 chords and a few riffs, then anyone can too. Look at the White Stripes, Jack White can't play guitar worth a shit, but he plays anyways just to write songs. I like the White Stripes.

sepidman	Date: December 23, 2003 @ 10:55 PM A guy with a guitar and no girlfriend?? Same as being homeless I think!! I don't think you have to be a composer to be a musician. I know some great players who do not write, but they can sure as hell interpret well! I do write both lyric and music. that is probably my favorite part of music followed closley by production in the studio. I do get a kick out of live gigs too though. But I only play live shows about 6 times a year. Usually theatre shows.
