I like playing guitar. But now recently I am tuned up to learning things at work which might help me improve at work and also life… so not touching any instruments. Just focusing on work work and work till I get better at it.

Making music and learning at work ?
The three years of my pianoing gone together with dismantling a house, it was very relaxing to me

I find music creates isolation for me. I have my headphones on and I am so focused on the instrument that people don’t distract me. It’s great to share what you have done though.

Cooled down, loaded a virtual piano, now i’ve time; when a controller pass my way, i’ll catch it.
Plus the synth is not alone from now on in its folder

I wish I knew how to play an instrument. All I can do somewhat decently is sing. My 15 yo child is incredibly gifted musically. She taught herself how to play piano, guitar, uke, clarinet and trumpet. It’s unreal.
I did realize though that I’m pretty sure I can teach myself relative pitch which would be handy.
Fiona Apple is one of my favorite musicians and has great piano/keyboard songs. You should check her out

I’m not lonely anymore, but I used to play guitar when I was lonely back in the day. Now I play guitar and sing for family and friends…it’s different now.

That’s wonderful @Grookey ! You sound very talented. I wish there was a way I could hear you. Only half of the sound cloud screen displays on my smartphone so the audio player won’t play.

I use my keyboard as a way to deal with isolation and also as a coping skill. I also use it as a way to keep my mind sharp as I age.

I used to. My music was very much so a part of me. Now it’s just for fun!

Well @Zoe … you are right, but for me it has a different meaning;
I started in music because I wanted to have (musician) friends. Everytime I’m lonely I think about playing music, but with people.
It’s not like it cures loneliness for itself, but gives me a way to socialize.
I don’t think music is a good substitute for friends… It’s the best “making friends” activities I know. But everyone needs socialization tosome degree…

I’m doing okay. Still searching for a new job it ain’t easy. Really need to get back on track with new lifestyle habits. Also isn’t easy lol.
Two times I started conversation with females in bumble but they gave up on me.
For me finding female friends is difficult
How are you? And how is the health regime going

I would be lost without my guitar. It’s been the only constant in my life for more than 30 years. I’ve always had a nylon string acoustic guitar. I’ve had as many as a dozen guitars at a time but never less than one. I also play string bass, mandolin and a little synth for good measure.
