I'm an avid guitar and bass guitar player. Playing and writing music is probably the one thing that has kept me from CTB. I'm not a real musician as I never have delved deep into music theory, but I have a decent ear for it and like creating songs with guitar, bass, drum and vocal parts. Lately I have been extremely suicidal and the one good thing about it is that I have been writing a lot of music after a long period of writers block. Anyone else like to write music?

Hey buddy, I play guitar too. I don't really write any music but there's not a time in the day where I'm not listening to or playing music. Music is one of the most effective distractions for me. What sort of music are you into? :)

I mean I wouldn't call myself a musician but it's my greatest passion. I would have given up years ago if music did not exist. Ironically I don't think I'm a musician for the opposite reason as you. I've passed music theory exams with high distinction/honours but I suck at actually using it. Sure, I can play any chord or scale on the piano but my ability stops there. I guess I can play along with my favourite songs but only chords or melody. I can't do both at the same time. I don't have any muscle memory and I'm shit at controlling the dynamics. I'm terrible at actually playing the piano. I'm basically a beginner. My theoretical knowledge is higher than my ability to play and it sucks.
I'd give anything to have a good ear. Identifying ascending intervals is basically the only thing I can do. I realllllly need to improve descending intervals. I guess I can identify chord types but progressions? Forget it. I have a lot of work to do and I'm not a natural. I'm also very inconsistent with proper practice but that's my own fault. I had to sell my keyboard several months ago so like
it will be a while until I can practice that again. Currently I'm trying to learn the guitar but I can only do some scales and basic open chords. A couple of riffs I guess. I need to lower the action but I have no idea how and haven't gotten around to going to a music store. Idk. Maybe one day I will be intermediate with both guitar and piano.
Songwriting is so fun!! I've been doing it on and off since I was a kid. Right now I'm messing around with a DAW because I'd love to finish an entire song one day. With the production and everything. It's just a big learning curve. Right now my songs are just some chords written above the lyrics.
That's great!! I'm into a lot of different music but mostly guitar-based stuff. Lots of metal, rock, shoegaze, math rock, alternative etc. the music I write tends to be depressing "emo" sounding kind of stuff. What kind of stuff do you like to play and/or listen to?
Btw I love your picture and name. I'm a HUGE dead space fan. What did you think of the remake??Similar threads
