dindong Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hi Mat7. It's always nice to have Thai people on the forum and I hope nobody scares you away. I'm sorry I don't know of anyone who can help you and unfortuneately we would not be allowed to help because of work permit issues. Just recently some foreigners were arrested in Chiang Mai for playing music in public. I hope you are able to continue with your musical studies and if you call into http://www.prataapjai.com/about.html someone might be able to help you. hope to hear from you again.

kandahar Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi mat7. Welcome to the forum. I was sure I had seen a request in this forum from someone who was looking for others to have some jam sessions but I cannot find it. So, I would advise contacting brahmburgers using the messenger function at the top of your page. He plays some and may well know several others in town who do. You may not be able to get "lessons" from any of them. But if some of them get together to play and you can join them, that may help to pick up some tips and learn some licks. If you have trouble using the messenger function in this forum, then post here about that and I will show you how to do it. I would guess that playing with other knowledgeable people is about as good a learning experience as you could get. Contact brahmburgers. He knows a lot of stuff and a lot of people. Here is the link to his profile page: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/user/10297-brahmburgers/ If you can find brahmburgers, then you will probably meet up with another good forum member, chang35baht. He and brahmburgers are pretty tight. I am thinking that where you find one, you will find the other. They are pretty much inseparable, as far as I can tell.

FlyingFree Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Does this mean that a farang musician cannot make a few baht playing in a bar on weekends, or by teaching music lesons in their home, for fear of getting arrested for not having a work permit?!

Just ask the ones in Chiangmai who were. Of course there are some who should be arrested for murdering music but aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat7 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I don't agree to this rule, everyone should be free to play their instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Surely we are free to play with our “instruments” in the privacy of our own shower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
