Do you play any or are you too busy taking care of your body /fit/izens? If not, then what the fuck are you waiting for?Don't neglect your mind gains, they can make you feel pretty well rounded. You know that feeling of benching more than you did last week? That's the same as learning a new song. I play the guitar for 7-8 months now and it really makes me happy and productive. Just don't learn how to play to try and bang chicks, that shit is autistic and outdated.

When I played guitar in a shitty local metal band I had a harem of sluts, it was amazing. No kids or STDs either!

That was a long time ago though. I love playing acoustic guitar and writing songs just for my own enjoyment. I may end up taking up bass guitar and playing in a church band that is starting up because why the hell not - its fun.

It's also a driver for my fitness - I don't want to look like shit on stage.

Playing music is great, singing is fantastic too.

Writing your own music is fun, performing for audiences is better. There's nothing like getting a crowd to move or hearing them roar after a song.

I had to look up with lip trills are, that shit is silly.

Find your natural range and go for it. Don't be afraid to throw your weight behind it, explore it as a way to vent frustration, don't fear vulnerability. I find it easy to stay in key if I accompany something. Guitar, keyboard, whatever you have available. Both go pretty cheap second hand these days.

you need to condition your fingers to play too, so yes if you're a bitch with weak fingers it might

but it feels good to finally make a recognizable sound out of guitar when you actually start playing

I make autistic shoegaze and ambient as a one-man project but my friends don't know about it.
I've tried to write more conventional songs on acoustic guitar but I just can't seem to get anything good. It either sounds totally generic, or when it sounds good I realize I'm ripping off another popular song. I don't know how guys like Elliott Smith and Nick Drake and Mark Kozelek can write such intricate stuff and have it sound so good.

I wish I could find people to play with, I'd love to play metal or hardcore at underground shows but everyone in this "indie" scene just hounds Mac Demarco or makes terrible vaporwave
>>
>>39812625
Feel you, bro. Been playing an acoustic guitar for 5 or 6 years, but really been wanting to get an electric and some pedals and do something with heavy shoegaze/ambient influences in terms of the tone, and then Japanese/weird chord progressions/some blues for the general songwriting/melody stuff. I only seem to come up with riffs and hooks 'n shit, can't ever sit down and write a complete song.

Dream scenario would be to buy a Fender Jazz bass, a Jag and some pedals, and move out to a small suburban town with a friend (who plays drums of course) in the midwest and make some kind of lounge-y stuff that sounds like subdued ambient shoegaze with bossa composition.

o shit this turned into a blog post
>>
yo guys ive been playing classical guitar for more than a year now, im gonna get an electric guitar soon
should i learn how to sing?
also what do you think about sax?
>>
>>39812831
That sounds super cool, it's always cool to make the music you want to hear even if it's a weird style
I have the same problem with song structure, I'll find a progression of riff I like then just play it into the ground without being able to change it up in interesting ways.
>>
>>39810526
A lot of people think they sound bad because they're too afraid to sing as hard as they can
>>
>>39813738
Seconding this. You have to just have confidence (bro) in your voice. As long as you're not wavering all over the place, even a "bad" voice can sound good if it's forcefully projected.
I used to sound like shit no matter how much i practiced because I was holding back due to self-consciousness. Then I recorded myself drunkenly singing along to something and realized I had it, I just wasn't using it. That's what most people miss out on. A lot of amateurs are better vocalists than they think.
>>
>>39813738
Lol this is so true. When I'm drunk I don't give a fuck and sound way better than I do sober

Got out of playing music for two years, but am building my chops back up. Got burned out from playing in two bands and was focusing on my career.

Feels great to play consistently again

I've been playing sax for 15 years. Started when I was in fifth grade. It's a lot of fun. Only thing that sucks is, as you get better, it takes more practice to maintain your musical gains and to make more musical gains. Wouldn't trade it for the world though. It's very rewarding to make progress and to be able to make beautiful music.

I play professional-level classical piano.
Kind of sucks when you pull out some Rachmaninoff and nobody is impressed and then some jerk off like >>39815085 comes along and plays a simple pop song which takes zero talent or effort and women practically tear their clothes off for them.
I wish I could make myself play pop music at parties but it feels trashy and unorthodox for me.

I've played bass for 6 years and gig regularly.

In this era, women don't give a shit about musicians, we're just not cool anymore. I've gotten zero pussy and women just don't care when I say I'm in a band.

Obviously I don't do it for pussy, music is my passion. This is just for the misguided folks ITT.

Hell no. I sometimes participate in competitions or I'll play at a bar in a blues band but it's more of a getaway I use to distract myself from school than anything. I've been playing violin and piano since I was about 6 years old and I'm 19 now. Honestly wish I felt more passionate about them than I did but I'm okay with it just being a little hobby of mine. It's a great feeling when you play for a friend you've known for a while but never heard you play out of nowhere and surprise them with what you can do.

I play jazz guitar (I dabble in shoegaze and some rock stuff like joy division but just playing along to albums, nothing big)

I played upright bass in my HS jazz band and trombone in the pep/orchestra. Played drums too but sold my set, really regret it, drumming is probably the most fun I've had playing alone to tracks
>>
>>39815358
I never matched just learned from techs that have. my private instructor marched Oregon Crusaders, and Phantom. Drumline tech marched Crossmen. My director marched Glassmen. I never auditioned for a Corp but I went to experience camps for indoor. had a good shot but couldn't do it because it was a 4 hour trip every week. what do you march?
>>
>>39815384
marched*
>>
>>39815384
Lel you're probably miles better than me. I did snare in hs and quickly became the best player, considering we only had a 6 man drumline, but went to a colts camp once and got my ass handed to me. I've gotten a lot better since then but I'm losing interest since I don't really have a use for it anymore, whereas with piano and violin I can still perform to some degree.
>>
>>39809465
Started playing guitar again recently after years off of it actually. Just fixed up my old Jackson. I'm trying to be more humble about it now that I'm older and slightly more mature, so I'm actually taking the time to learn a bit about theory and properly training my songwriting abilities rather than learning riffs and shredding licks. I have one of the Japanese made Dinky DK2Ms. Just got it set up and cleaned and it's buttery smooth again. I'm planning to get a tremol-no because floating bridges are literally a meme. I've only used mine like twice kek.
>>
>>39813707
Yeah, fucking somgwriting dude. I keep trying to come up with "interesting" progressions and realize I'm just shitting minor sevenths or major sevens everywhere with those chromatic descending bass lines or whatever that the Beatles love so dearly thrown in.

Man I've spent so many years learning off tabs and playing metal that I can write a pretty good metal lick just because I'm familiar with what frets make what notes, but I have no clue on the theory behind any of it or even what scale I'm using.
>>
>>39815410
ha dude same. I taught myself snare before joining my schools drumline. only joined drumline for my last two years of hs and made center snare for both those years for summer and indoor. I'm planning on audition for troopers next year and then move to scv since that's their "secret sister corp". how was that colts camp like?

desu I never found it too difficult (apart from learning harder technique), but it depends on the person. I teach piano as well and people definitely learn at different paces
>>
>>39815463
The instructors and techs were all kind of douchebags and the consensus seemed to be that if you didn't march colt cadets and know everyone personally you didn't really stand a chance. I had a really bad time but I was also inexperienced and too shy to talk to anyone so it's understandable that I didn't make it. I just wish they didn't treat us like children and actually acted like they wanted to be there, because the camp turned me away from ever wanting to do anything dci related again.
>>
>>39815473
Definitely the most versatile instrument but refrain from playing in public.
>>
>>39815496
meh fuck em man. I've always heard horror stories from colts and colt cadets and its crazy that it's true. then again not like they're any good. colt cadets and colts is just a glorified highschool line. I say keep practicing and go audition somewhere else. where you from mane?

I tried so many times to get into music in my teens, i bought a guitar, a keyboard, a western concert flute, a set of drums, and even a banjo once, never really became decent with any of them.

What other mental gains do you guys like? for me it has been drawing, finally got a cintiq this Christmas and while it's not as efficient to get pussy it's still better than playing videogames 16 hours a day and it's my current favorite way to unleash my autism

I'd check out Rocksmith, even if it's just videos of others playing. You could probably break down songs and see how they're structured. Most really are just repeating chord progressions.

have played the guitar (electric and accoustic) for just over 4 years now, I enjoye it immensely but it's never gotten me any pussy, much like lifting, people will think you're drowning in it when in reality I'm still a virgin at 19 and have yet to have had a girlfriend
with that said, I recently matched with a qt on tinder who's down to hook up, thought it was cause I have a great body (2+ years of lifting) but appearently it's because she finds guitarist irresistible
wish me luck brahs, I've got a good feeling about this one

Violin for 15 years. Best memories and pussy in life have come from playing in orchestras. Don't regret a second of practice.
>>
I play guitar and bass. I've never gotten really good at them considering the time I've had them, but I'm decent.
I just can't deal with the slowing segments down and autistically practicing technique. I just play shit at full speed until I get it.

I've also been wanting to get into piano. Are keyboards good and affordable? With guitars there's a whole bunch of stuff to consider before you buy one, but with a keyboard is there so much to think about?
>>
>>39809465
I can play guitar competently I guess, my interests keep wildly varying so one day I play some chords on an acoustic and five minutes later I've plugged in my electric to squeal out some gnarly string bends and scales. When I'm at college I play at least 10mins every day, sometimes up to an hour or two if I got my hands on some drugs.
>also lift
>can cook well enough
>reasonably intelligent
>educated
>avg looks
Absolutely none of it has helped me get girls (didn't expect it to, of course). I got closer to getting laid in highschool when I was first coming out of my cocoon, surrounded by the same people I had known every day for years in the public schools. Now I just walk around college to and from class/gym, usually go straight home after and chill with my roomates. Its a quiet but dull life.

No offense but the younger generation are to braindead to know what an instrument is. Computers and vocals are the only thing relevant anymore it's depressing but true. So why would you learn to do something only other musicians appreciate.

Man you should collaborate with someone. If you can come up with decent hooks and riffs and have a mate that can arrange them and bridge gaps between them then you all of a sudden have a super creative outlet. There's nothing better than the sense of achievement you get from actually turning riffs into full fledged songs. Beats shattering your bench record any day.

It's also great for writing songs when you get into that.

It's all about practice, you might not be gifted musically, but you'll be able to play if you try. If you can reach an octave comfortably, that's all you really need for most music.

Unless you're going to play Rachmaninoff, don't even worry about small hands
>>
>>39815563
Yeah honestly, I got the guitar when I was 16 so I was like "woah a fucking floyd rose!!" and proceeded to make some noises on it and never use it again. I suppose if you play lead live and want that kind of thing, sure go for it. But if you're just some garage jammer there's literally no reason to get one. It's a pain to set up, a pain to intonate, a pain to tune and I have to adjust it I want to change string gauges or drastically change tunings. Right now I put a wooden shank in the back so it can't pull up anymore though so that's working out not badly

I am a jazz guitarist preparing for university auditions, and teach private lessons. I find it satisfying, but i wished i played piano instead. I only had access to a old guitar and busted cornet as a child, so naturally, those were the ones i learned to play. The thing is, everyone plays guitar, everyone wants to be a rock star, and everyone is shit at it. It takes away the thunder of all the great jazz and classical guitarists.

It's not so important as long as it plays good. I think something mid range like an Epiphone, Squier or Dean or whatever is fine. My first guitar was really cheap and had retardedly high action (string height) which made it miserable to play.

By the way the guitar has way less to do with sound than you think, it's all about the amp and accessories.

I play banjo guitar bass piano mandolin ukulele harmonica. Dabbled in drums.

Yup, been playing shoe gaze since day one. It's still hard to tell where all the frets are, let alone a full barre chord.

best under 1000? You can get an Eastman that plays and sounds far better, but they run on the upper end. I have had both

I feel your pain...my local scene is just a bunch of shitty indie bands and punk sounding stuff that are fun to listen to and all but that but they don't have any depths or complexity to them. I never see any locals bands and think "wow!"

I've been slowly trying to record solo ambient guitar stuff and it sucks because maybe 2 of my friends enjoy it. I mostly make if for myself anyways so its ok.

I want to start a band thats like if The Sword and Mastodon had a baby, and Pelican and Deafheaven had a baby, and those to babies fucked.....that would be my band.

I've been playing piano pretty much all my life, but am still shit at reading music. I can play the Jurassic park song, tequilla sunrise and Emilie's etude, and I just learnt how to play Avril 14th by aphex twin.

Fantasie impromptu

>>39822733
Lel at my local music store a zumba fitness or some weird yoga shit opened up right above it. Depending on the time of day you can hear them.

absolutely learn to sing. work out whether you're tone death or not and fix that
>>
I can sing pretty well.
Sang a Weeknd song for a girl on Tinder and now she won't stop sending me nudes... I told her I'd probably ruin her for other guys, and she sent me a snap that basically said "come ruin me;)". I'm going over there tomorrow night.

Harness your talents my dudes.

This is OK advice if u want to just sound decent. Passable karaoke. But if u want actually sound good, learn to mix and lighten up your voice. Then after being able to sound like a Justin Bieber wanna be, u can slowly add compression to get that powerful sound everyone wants. If u just "sing naturally" u will fuck up your voice. It's like telling a prospect boxer to just bunch a bag over and over again, there's techniques and gear u need before u break your hands

>>39813766
Trust me, it's cuz you're drunk. Getting "into it" will leave you with a hoarse voice after a few songs. Learn to sing, not yell

>>39814069
>Not even that good at guitar because whenever I sit down to actually practice I just end up cranking it and playing sludge metal
Yeah, me too. Fuck.
>>
>>39818467
Keep practicing the chords it's feels hard at first but after a while you get used to it and memorize the chords
>>
I picked up mine after about 12 years. Downloaded that Yousician app. Only let's me do one lesson a day. Any one know of other apps for learning chords and other excercises? It's been so long since I've played I'm basically jut starting from scratch
>>
>>39825500
fuck, that sounds douchey....idk man all their shit sounds the same like even more lo-fi mac demarco rip offs or loud punk with the reverb cranked on the amps and mics. I'm not being entirely fair there is a good 4 or 5 bands that have a great, interesting style but thats among a sea of whatever bands

Violin is one of the hardest instruments to play beautifully. Don't let that stop you though, if you truly passionately want to learn, good teacher is a MUST (or else you will fuck up your shit). Consult your teacher before you go and buy some shit Violin Shaped Object from the local music store.
