Music isn't about learning the theory. It's about going with the flow.

Close your eyes, look into another world, see what you want to play, and, like nike says, just do it. It's not that difficult, so don't make it difficult.

The main obstacle in making music is your own mind. Don't overthink it. Don't think you have to know how to do it before you can do it. Play. Have fun with it.

Slide.

For me, music is about having fun. I played drums for 5 years by myself - then I wanted to learn more, so I went and took lessons for 5-6 years. Now I'm playing just for the fun for it, again

So yeah. imo its like, you do a song in your mind, then you construct it in some way: arrange it to a complete song in your sequencer or whatever, write it to paper and give it to other people to play. If you enjoy working with music, its your thing, if you dont, it isnt.

Lots of offtopic.

Sorry, plese reply english.

I've been "playing" with synts and guitars about 5 years. That includes couple of long break's as well. My major problem is that timing is poor while playing and i don't understand metronome whether guitar or piano/synths. I have no ryhythm sense and musical skills has been shit all the time, technique while playing is wrong etc.

I have heard that some persons it takes longer time, but does it really? Couple of persons that i have met have played about 15 years starting with age of 6-7 and are level above me.


So basically i don't understand nothing from music and haven't learn nothing yet, apart from chords inversion and reading staff. I have had couple of piano lesson's back in 2004-2005, but that includes lot of amusement lessons as well. So I learn those things there but nothing really useful. The teacher also said that use click/metronome but that didn't work. So basically I actually didn't do my homework's at that time.

Any tips how to continue my music recreation will be greeted.


Why not try drums? I cant imagine better way to improve rhythm sense. I have played drums something like 16 years, and when i play other instruments, there is no problems in timing. A drummer got timing in his brain, or spine prehaps?

However, i suggest you to play drums. Then, after learning some basics and staying in beat, try even more instruments. If there is not possibility to play drums, buy cajon. You can play it in apartment building, its not too loud! And believe me, it is very challenging instrument.

Imagine the instrument`s just a vehicle to express what you want to do. Whether it`s a guitar, synth, drums, or singing. Or is it rather more a performance than a plain music? Sometimes, some people may find their interest is just some kind of a first "step", giving a hazy hint about finding the real instrument, form of art etc. etc. But it`s all worth to do it. Every try, mistake and weakness is a golden treasure.

A good example: I know a fellow jazz drummer, a very talented one, who still found his career as a dance- and performance teacher in polytechnic. There was a lot to do with the rhythmical part and sequences in it.

Sounds like you need to start a punk band! Find some hate within yourself and money will follow.

You said that your technique is wrong... no it isn't! There is no right or wrong technique in any instrument. Many people have told me that i play guitar "wrong" and then they showed me how they think guitar is played right. So... i tried their way to play and i just coldn't play that way.

What i'm trying to say here is that you must just find your own techniques and play the way you feel most comfortable.

Sorry for my bad english. I hope you understood.
