Well. I have still the same opinion. semi-professionell guitarrist? You shurely meant hobby-fiddler... [8D]
Well if I just have to spend some time with the guitar to have the right to call me guitarrist no matter how good or bad....... Than Im a taxi-driver coz I allways drove around with my friends, Im a cook, coz I cook very often, Im an informatic coz I use my notebook every day, Im a designer coz I design my apartment, my clothes and all, Im a dolmetcher coz I speak english, german from time to time, Im a barber, coz I shave my hair by myself, Im a medical dr. coz I allways help my self when Im hurt, and Im much more.... Woow.. I would have to spend over 80years of education to get all these titles to have the right to earn money with this.... But you made it so easy. Really nice idea!
Well,... In my opinion "guitarrist" is a name of an education in guitar.But if you dont work as a guitarrist, than you arent one,.. you would be workless or something different. And just fiddeling around for several years doesnt let become you one if you dont perform it.. A bit hard to discribe...
In short: hobby-fiddlers arent guitarrists, no professional ones and no semi-professional ones.
Ok... in some case you are right Deniz. Today I saw a band during a party at the university. They were so ****ing bad. They earn money with their ****. But you are right if you wouldnt call them musicians....
Ok... dont take my comments to hard. Im very tired now... [X(]
lol, you're close but not quite there--the term "medical doctor" requires a doctorate, a very concrete degree, so helping yourself when you're hurt doesn't count. If the car you drove around a lot with your friends were a taxi, then you could call yourself a "taxi driver". So those two are false analogies. As for the rest, well, I have no clue what a dolmetcher is, and I think it's perfectly fine to call yourself a cook, I would define it simply as someone who cooks. You've never heard a person say "I'm a terrible cook, but at least I can microwave stuff"? [8D] And I don't know what a dolmetcher is, haha sorry....
Point is, I think the same applies for "guitarist", that the "professional" aspect isn't included in most people's definitions of the word--that it simply means "someone who plays guitar"--and that the original poster really just wanted a survey of what people on this foro do as a hobby, not for a living (I could be wrong, of course). And either way, the fact that I got 21 e-mails from this subscription in less than twelve hours--this, as opposed to any of the many threads on this foro that means something--is kind of ridiculous (although yes, half of it was just romerito and florian [:D]). Is this really such a big deal?
