It is known that musicians have their own language which can often be\u00a0incomprehensible to an outsider.\u00a0There are many phrases that are heard throughout rehearsal rooms everywhere like a constant echo.\u00a0Here is a list of scenarios that may seem all too familiar among musicians!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

1.<\/strong> It\u2019s time for band practice to start and not everyone is present.\u00a0Let\u2019s just say punctuality is not your passion. Hold on, there\u2019s\u00a0someone\u2019s knocking at the door…
\n– “Who’s it?\u00a0asks the singer<\/strong>.
\n– “It’s the drummer,” says the bass player<\/strong>, “..the knocks are faster.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> After the drummer, arrives the\u00a0guitarist<\/strong>,\u00a0finally.\u00a0This specimen is notoriously known for their distorted perception of time.\u00a0It is, however, never their fault:
\n– “Sorry guys, the bus driver is trying to sabotage our career.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> As the\u00a0bassist<\/strong>\u00a0calmly takes out their bass from out of their case, they realize a string is broken:
\n– “No way!?\u00a0I only just changed them three years ago!”
\nObviously, in full belief that bass strings last an eternity, they won\u2019t have any spares on them.\u00a0No worries, 4 strings are way too many anyway.\u00a0Let the band practice commence!<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry, and on that note, the singer<\/strong>\u00a0immediately announces:
\n– “I have a cold and my voice sounds a bit hoarse.”\u00a0This, in a way, sort of means that they\u2019re not responsible for what is yet to come.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> After a sound check with\u00a0a random\u00a0metal riff,\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0drummer<\/strong>\u00a0speaks out:
\n– “the guitars are too quiet!”\u00a0And within 5 minutes they soon regret opening their mouth.\u00a0Never tell a guitarist that they\u2019re too quiet or else they will soon prove you otherwise, and without mercy.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> The singer<\/strong>\u00a0chimes in and announces the long-awaited phrase, which everyone dreads:
\n– “I can\u2019t hear myself.”\u00a0The rest of the musicians, as diplomatic as ever, decide to lower their volume a notch. Which is not necessarily an easy task, in confined rehearsal rooms, and is a good opportunity to suggest investing in an InEar monitor system.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. <\/strong>The jam session is\u00a0well under way\u00a0and different parts of the last piece are being discussed.\u00a0As the drummer is about to give their opinion, the\u00a0guitarist<\/strong>\u00a0cuts them off:
\n– “Please be quiet when the musicians are talking!”\u00a0Sarcasm, a fundamental component in musician jargon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8.<\/strong> After the seemingly never ending guitar solo, the\u00a0drummer<\/strong>, who on the verge of a nervous breakdown, retaliates:
\n– “It’s amazing what you can to do with a guitar that\u2019s out of tune, you should become a musician!\u00a0This means war…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> The singer<\/strong>, who is still struggling with her cold and has no intention on not giving up says: – “Can we play in a different key?”\u00a0Well of course we can, just for you.\u00a0The piece is in open tuning, but no problem we\u2019ll just change everything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10.<\/strong>\u00a0Finally, the\u00a0bassist <\/strong>emerges from their slumber and asks:
\n– “What\u2019s going on here?\u00a0This is the kind of statement that usually pops up when the rehearsal was not structured or organized from the beginning, or possibly way too much beer and or other substances.<\/p>\n
