I need a unique idea!!!!!!!

You misunderstood me... I don't want anybody else's ideas, I didn't mean to ask for others to share their ideas with me- infact I stated that I hate the interference of other people's advice on my music, no one's ideas can improve my music because the ideas would clash since my mind works different from theirs. There is only one way for music to flow... I'm just feel like I'm not where I want to be in music... like there is something more... no, no one can help me. This is my own task. If there is any way that I can show you some of my experiments explain to me how I can. But as for trying to be a follower of others' ideas, that's not what I want because I'm afraid for my natural stream of music to be contaminated.

Tom Waits writes wonderful songs just by f**king around.  Do that.

As a musician since I was 10 years old- I can play in many odd times.

I don't pretend I have any natural talent however- I had to work very hard to be able to count in odd times.

People with so-called "natural talent" are those who have been exposed to musical training at a young age. I'd be hard pressed to find a 30 year old who just picked up a guitar that can be considered a natural talent.

It's a matter of upbringing- not genes, IMO.

That is not what I said at all!!!  That is my problem is that so many people are inept at music. I mean to say those with natural talent can play, and as for being around real talent... I have been to boston conservetory with my sister, juliard, and a number of art schools where I have witnessed talent that would not be believed to exist. I have met a nine year old child who would make a majority of these bands like dream theater appear as nothing. I'm not trying to be offensive but I have witnessed true talent among prodigees from around the world that have no fame. Prog rock is talented, but its popularity surpasses its talent. The world of classical music is dying, therefore these irreularities that I have met have no fame. That is why I have a problem... I have seen, experienced, and have converced with geniuses, the rain man of music.

the discussion I attempted to make was for others to discuss their own journey in finding their own style.

Timesignature: your thread appears to be merely an excuse to flaunt your supposed musical effetism and condescension.  At least that is how you have been portraying yourself (and no I have not been reading into your statements, but rather reading them plainly)  Why would you complain and b!tch about people and their "musical ineptitude" if you want this to become a forum for discussion musical journeys?  Why mention your problem if you do not wish to discuss it?  -  These are rhetorical questions

If you have a problem with trying to achieve fame, then musical composition isn't something you're cut-out for.  We don't live in the Classical or Romantic eras anymore, so composers can't expect to gain recognition because a feeling of self-entitlement they have about their accomplishments.  Sure, John Williams, Phillip Glass, etc... are famous and successful (though I would debate the value of Williams' compositions) but neither would tell you they wrote their music for fame.  Glass wouldn't have written Einstein at the Beach if he wanted to be famous (its more infamous than famous for its lack of intermission and attempts to explain general relativity), he would have just kept his job as a professional wrestler (El Diablo).

So, despite whatever your intentions may be, your comments appear to be contradictory and confused (as evidenced by the many posters who appear to have posted to your dissatisfaction).

- clowns for you

that is not what I meant to do. Notice the title of the thread. True I do discuss the fact that those in my local area are inept at music, but this was not a comment for discussion, this was my narrating of the story of my musical journey. Many things said since then have been due to other comments made that were not of the original conversation, therefore my replies had to do with the subject of those who commented. Therefore, you were not reading between the lines, but you were reading what was said by and in reply to those who were. Therefore your translation of this thread has strayed from the initial.

 imagine... a section of such guitar playing technicality as Between the Buried and Me on that one song with the 7/8 and 13/8 scalar begining, but with a thrashing off beat drummer.
