WARNING: 🌶 spicy takes inside. Learn what I think is wrong about the way we approach buying music gear and three suggestions for how to do it better.

It may sound cool to think PF Flyers are guaranteed to make a kid run faster and jump higher. But if you’re skipping leg day, there’s really no hope for you.

Music gear is really only as good as the sound coming into it. It’s easy to get entranced by fancy specs and the newest toy that’s just been released.

But at the end of the day, if it’s not solving a real problem for you or creating a new opportunity for you (credit to Andy Ihnatko for that quote), it’s probably just a waste of money.

How do you approach buying new gear? Leave a comment and let me know!
