Reminding myself of what I do have

For sure, I'm really glad it helps. :)

I love this seal! Thank you! :)

@BigGyro09 aww lol cute saxamaphone seal, that was my instrument in hs!

@worryywart You played the saxophone? That's so cool! Do you still know how to play it? I've always wanted to learn instruments

@BigGyro09 yep i played throughout all of middle & highschool, tenor sax to be specific (just a bigger and deeper version of the alto)! i played in basically all the bands at school and some competition type things, i was sort of a “band kid” lmao. i haven’t played in a while but i probably still could if i picked one up i’m just a bit rusty :P i’ve been trying to learn piano by myself and guitar from my dad for a while now too, its really fun and a good outlet. i will say it was wayyy easier to learn in school but teaching yourself is definitely possible, just takes a lot of practice! funnily enough i have the same name as a famous jazz saxophonist too😅

@worryywart That's so awesome!! I'm guessing you really are passionate about music. I really love music as well. I have never learned an instrument but I do make music with music making software! It's so much fun to do! It's also cool that your dad is teaching you guitar! That's one of my favorite instruments!

@BigGyro09 i am really passionate about music, aside from film it’s probably the thing i know the most about! i’ll listen to basically any kind of music, i have like 500 playlists lol it’s just something i really enjoy, especially learning the stories behind songs and whatnot. also that’s really cool!! i have a midi keyboard and got ableton a while back but i just haven’t used it in a while, it’s super fun to tinker around with tho. guitar also isn’t too hard to learn! its mostly a lot of memorizing hand placements and learning alternatives for them, if you have the basic knowledge of music theory like notes then it shouldn’t be too hard. i like watching a lot of videos from marin music center as well when i wanna learn a song on guitar, he’s really energetic but a pretty good teacher 😎🎸

@worryywart Music theory is something they I've heard of before but never dived into. It sounds really interesting and I've always wanted to learn how to write music and understand how composers make songs!! The only parts of that I do know is finding and/or creating loops and turning them into full songs! I remember having a keyboard that I think was MIDI when I was very young! I loved that keyboard and I wouldn't be surprised if that was my start for loving music. As much as I love music, my playlist doesn't have as many songs as others lol

@worryywart I'm glad you have your dad to teach you and I'm glad he's very invested in it. There's really heartwarming!

@BigGyro09 you don’t need to know too much music theory to play, some of the best musicians ever didn’t know any of it, like jimi hendrix and prince both couldn’t read sheet music! there’s so many books on music theory out there too. it’s not an absolute necessity but it helps for some people especially if they want to compose. we went a little into music theory in my jazz band but not a whole lot, so i know a minimal amount. producing myself is an art form though, even just making something new out of a sample takes a lot of talent! also i get not having a whole lot of playlists, im one of those people that just sort of makes one for every season and mood. i’m really grateful my dad enjoys teaching me about music, he’s also basically self taught so it’s really fun.
