Tried to learn guitar a few times but my hands let me down. But even though I play no instrument I can make a cracking tune. From keyboard to samples and other computer gigerypokery And I don't mean tune mixing, but building a tune out of all kinds of sound.

dude, you have no idea how frustrating it is to have no musical talent! but, after all, we can't all be musicians...or there would be no audience! you guys NEED us instrumentally challenged folk! ha!

I appreciate you more than you can know.

I often think id like to learn guitar..iv even got an acoustic one i painted a tiger on...not got to do it yet, though i have started a few times, my fingers hurt too much then life takes over. It would go better than my instrument, a violin, with the types of music i like..though i have been having a go with the violin a bit again recently...one day it will happen.

That is quite a collection! I don’t play an instrument but an old music teacher told me that I carried my musical instrument everywhere with me....my voice. When our choir are rehearsing with an orchestra we often have to remind the conductor that we cannot keep re-rehearsing the same notes as though we were fiddles. Sustaining and repeating high notes continually can damage our instruments!

singing is a hard thing to do so be proud that you can carry a tune to the end...

We who play music for a living need people who love music, whether it is to listen to or to dance to, to be able to enjoy what we do. You are a just as important to the process as we are. We feed off of your energy and participation in this thing we do together.

Hardly play it any more, but I can't part with my bass & the rest of the world still fades to the background when I hear a good bass line.

Funny, sometimes I wonder how people who love living do not have a mountainbike to their name.

I have musical instruments, bicycle, and tools...and beer making equipment. I am living on the edge!

@Coleman my hero!

Not everyone's passion needs to be expressed musically ...
I bet somewhere there's a non-musical person who loves music, but wonders how anyone could survive without a microscope, or 100ft of mountain climbing rope ...

I have been playing for forty odd years ....I think you would know the difference between a guitar sound and a rock climbing rope....calibration and string size would tell that...and if he twanged his rope in tune i am sure there would be a c sharp or otherwise and if he was looking down a microscope I'm sure they would be able to discern the frequency of the note by size and frequency...wow

@Dragoria I'm a musician too ... it's ok - all good.

music is experienced in its environment, and perhaps more intimately in its making, tho not necessarily less moving for the listener. nice pile of goodies!

Having ‘played’ a couple of instruments, I can better appreciate those having gone all the way. I didn’t.
