Biggest Problems In Music

[blue_jays]

What are all the musicians on LGM looking to improve on?
What are you biggest concerns when it comes to your playing no matter what instrument you play?

Not sure if this what you are asking but I am looking to improve on: different things to play runs, fill ins, different shouts instead of the same ones all the time. We sing traditional songs at our church so its pretty much the same pattern on every song lol. And it all sounds the same

learning chords is one thing, but how do you begin to voice them???

For my drumming: I'm trying to work on creating a unique beat for each traditional gospel song that I play. They all pretty much sound the same and have the same beat, and that gets boring after awhile when playing a bunch of those songs consecutively. I guess a better way to put it: Trying to learn a greater variety of rhythms appropriate for traditional gospel music.

Bass: Need to develop my walking skills.

Vocal: Just want to get my voice to a bearable level. Ever since I picked up drums and guitar, I've been neglecting my voice completely. I didn't think I'd need it, and I never liked it much anyway. But I've been in situations where being able to sing would come in handy, so, yeah. I can hear, and I can hold a note if I try really hard, but my voice control and tone is severely lacking (HOWEVER, I do have a very good voice for autotune. If only I were a techno DJ...)

dont play drums sketch, but i understand where ur coming from. when i play too many similar songs (usually those congregational songs or songs with similar progressions and feel) i start to feel like im just being repetitive. i take it up a notch to where im doing more fills and riffs but then they seem to sound the same too. It might just be in my head, but sometimes I feel like a coach that gets new players and new uniforms each game, but runs the same plays.

On keyboard it's chord voicing for me. I'm working on learning rootless voicings and the exact voicings used on recordings.

I totally understand switching from different genres is hard however you need to have a balance between the two
