Musicians and music lovers.

Any musicians here? 

If so what instrument(s) do you play? And If you want to play any instruments what would you choose? 

Music lovers. Do you have any favourites bands or genres?

  • I wouldn't say I'm a musician, far from it lol but I do play the guitar. I don't play it much now but when I was in my teens and early 20s I was playing the guitar daily, mostly trying to play the songs Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift did. I did OK as well. I'm generally a fast learner.

    I don't play it as much now. I've been trying to focus on improving my life these last few years, so I can work and be happier in myself. Maybe I'll pick up the guitar again afterwards.

    Same about the 'not a musician' thing. Somehow that descriptor feels equivalent to 'I could do this for a living'. But... I do play the piano at a level one might charitably describe as 'competent after a lot of practice'. I love it, it's therapeutic, a stim in some ways, and gradually getting to grips with a piece gives me a lot of satisfaction and helps ease back on racing thoughts for a bit as different parts of the brain (and maybe soul) step in for a while and the 'goings-on'-ness of things becomes momentarily de-focussed. 

    Sometimes I play for quite a while, others I'll just play some bars of an old favourite while I wait for the kettle to boil. Most days I at least touch the keys...
