Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.

now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?

At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).

Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.

P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.

    I’ve played guitar on and off since I was about 7, but I’m still amateurish at best. I got some lessons in my late teens from a co-worker that got me good enough to bash out chords in the church band. Played bass briefly in a band after quitting the church in the early nineties, but didn’t really touch an instrument again until the divorce in '09. I’ve been playing ukulele since then after getting some cheap ones for my kids and learning it myself to teach them and fell in love with it. I used to go busking with it 5-6 days a week singing and playing covers when I was unemployed and broke, but that ended about ten years ago when I had to get a real job.

    I’ve never considered myself a musician, though.

      Guy plays guitar and uke. Teaches kids music, gigged every day. Doesn’t consider himself a musician. I think you’re a more active musician than most professionals lol.

        I appreciate the thought, but I’ve been around actual musicians, and I’m not that.

        I have only the most rudimentary knowledge of music theory, have only ever written one song, which was terrible, and didn’t actually end up teaching my kids ukulele.

        These days I just fiddle about with my ukes on my couch. If I ever get over my inertia, I’ve been thinking of putting up some youtube clips of my covers, but don’t hold your breath.
