>there are people on /mu/ right now that give a shit about other peoples opinions

vocals are an instrument

what about music that isn't made with instruments you can actually play?

>>69684886

What are you talking about?

>>69684903
you can record someone coughing and paulstretch it out 5 hours and call it an ambient album

>>69684972
That sounds terrible, if I'm being honest!

>>69684861
a shit one

>>69685050
The things you listed are more comparable to being a professional musician. Being able to play an instrument is more like

Yes

>>69685050
Yeah, but it is way easier to play an instrument than all of those things combined

>>69684783
What if I have played 3 instruments for years but due to things in life happening, I havent touched them in a good year or so

>>69685166
Well, are you still able to play them?

>>69685286
well... Yeah. They arent where im at physically but its a short drive and I still knot how to play well

I play guitar, bass guitar, shamisen, sitar, drums, piano, trumpet, alto sax, marimba, and can sing. I genuinely believe my opinions matter more than anyone else on this board

>>69684783
I played cello in middle school, does that count?

>inb4 NEED TO BE A GOURMET CHEF TO GIVE YOUR OPINION ON FOOD
Gourmet chef is the logical equivalent of being a fulltime recording artist.

The equivalent of playing an instrument is cooking a meal like, once.

>>69685383
How do you find the time to regularly practice on so many instruments?

>>69685439
I'm a trust fund NEET with literal autism. it's got its benefits quite honestly

>>69685467
I don't associate with them, they're all poor, untalented, low functioning autistic weebs.

>>69685454
gonna have to call BS on that. when i was a NEET, all concept of time fell out the window. 2 years of my life, like a blur. i would've never been fucked to learn an instrument

>>69684903

what instrument do I have to play to have a valid opinion about this?

>>>/mu/

>>69685050

this is correct

>>69685108

this is a false equivalency

>>69685512
some days do fly by and I only get an hour or two of practice in. many days i find myself almost physically needing to practice.

>>69685516
Play a synthesizer very, very badly.

>>69685454
I guess that makes sense. Wish I had this much time to practice, but I'm a wagecuck so I can only play one hour per day.

>>69685528
>this is a false equivalency
What's wrong with my comparisons?

>>69684783
I'm gonna stop playing the drums in a week. I hate it. I've hate it since the beginning. Frustating unplesant and depressing.

>>69685564
at least you can socialize, I freeze up answering my door for the mailman. I found that cutting other activities out of my life(i.e television, computer games, even eating sometimes) has helped me focus on learning

>there are people on /mu/ right at this very moment that result in frogposting to express their autistic opinions while smugly feeling superior without having any qualifications, except maybe playing shitty indie guitar songs

>>69685660
I wish I had that drive. bidya gms and socializing is super fun and I waste way too much time doing both

>>69685660
>at least you can socialize
I can't. I only leave the house to go to work or visit my best (and only) friend.

>>69685736
>leave the house
you're already 2 steps ahead of me

>>69685750
Since you don't leave the house, did you teach yourself how to play instruments? Or did you learn it back in school?

>>69685776
most of it is self taught, the power of the internet is incredible. I learned the two "exotic" instruments the shamisen and sitar on the web

>>69685802
>most of it is self taught
Would you consider yourself a skilled musician? I'm asking because so far, I've also been teaching myself (mostly with a book for basic guitar chords and melodies) and I'm a bit worried that my playing might suffer later on because of this.

>>69685919
I would consider myself skilled. Partly because of an inflated ego caused by no peer review but also because I'm objectively good at the instruments I choose to play. I think anyone can be good while teaching themselves, it's really about how much you want to be good. if you doubt yourself at every corner you'll always be shit

>>69685988
This post felt pretty inspiring to read, thanks for the answer. Good luck with your instruments and I hope that you can overcome your problems with socializing.

>>69686152
glad my stupid habits could help someone, I suppose I'll need to sort the whole socializing thing out eventually but I don't feel ready quite yet.

>still listening to real instruments

stop being so old

>>69686291
I know you're kidding but I still want to hit you, like really hard

>>69685988
JUST BE YRSLF ;)
Apart from that you'll probably suck for the rest of your life. you're not a rockstar and you'll never be talented. Life is just failure and dreams never become true. Stop living in a fairy tale

>>69686320
or just don't be incredibly pessimistic about your skill, realize that you're not the greatest and continue practicing

>>69686318
>opinion differs from mine so it must be a troll post

bet you're literally shaking right now

>>69686376
Practicing is just perservering in failure .
