Hey everyone! Just found this place, looks pretty empty so I figured I should post.
I’m an aspiring musician. My dream is to play my songs on stage, which is slowly becoming a reality. I probably won’t get there until I’m 40, but seeing as that’s just a few years from now I guess that’s not too bad!
I’ve always wanted to put music out into the world. Music that makes you feel, that’s relatable. Music that has a message. Music that inspires one to do stuff.
So far I have a bunch of lyrics, and about 4 songs partially recorded. I’m very unorganized which hinders me from doing this more quickly. I’m also a father of 3 so I get caught up in family life alot.
Couple questions…
Does anyone post their own stuff here? I have some tunes (very raw, amateurish) that I could share if anyone was interested! I’d love to hear your sounds as well!
Does anyone have advice as to how they started performing? Or any other advice? Or thoughts? Or if you just want to make friends feel free to DM me! I don’t look at my messages regularly but I’ll see it at some point and reply!
My main instrument is electric guitar, but I also play piano, keyboard, drums, I sing, DJ, guitalele, banjo and theremin!
Sorry this is such a long post! Hope you all have an excellent day!
I am merely a musician of mediocre talent who creates because I dearly love music of all genre, save maybe a small few sub genres, but my taste in music is vast. At the age of 5, my uncle taught me three chords on the guitar and it lit a fire that’s been burning for 65 years. I never pursued a professional career, tho I’ve sat in with tons of people, and thoroughly love an impromptu jam on some nondescript street corner of town with other musicians. I always thought that doing it for a living would surely sully my love of the melodic muse.
To make it big today you have to have these words in your track, these rhythms, has to be this long, et al. It’s all so very regimented, and that is in direct opposition to my creed of ‘play what’s in your heart’. So, I am probably not the guy to give professional advice. It’s just nice to meet another musician on Lemmy.
I too am a guitarist and I have quite a collection. A lot of old wood like Gibson J-45s and Martins. My uncle made sure that I received his entire collection when he passed. I haven’t posted any of my tracks here on Lemmy, tho my SoundCloud link is in my profile.
