How can I learn to play an instrument
| Also that jazz instrument trumpet something
| youtube tutorials and a lot of dedication~!
| Press a key, be astonished by your technical ability, press another key, notice the difference. Repeat until somehow something good happens. Once you know the basics, look into music theory. It gives you insight and allows you to compose more complex pieces.
| Bruuuh... Music is a lot like sport, in a sense.
You start and do shit, then you get the hang of it and you do better shit.
Then you enjoy it a lot, and you start making not-shit.
What really matters is you start, and don't drop.
If you feel like you don't enjoy it, that's probably because you feel disappointed to still do shit even though you are confident you should do way better by now. That's a sign you have a wrong mindset. Don't see where you are at, see what you wanna be.
| Also you'll probably naturally choose to play stuff that you like the sound of. Sometimes what you like to play can be really different from what you usually listen to.
| There are a lot of books that basically teach you how to play the instrument while teaching you the songs
| If ur going to play the guitar, you can learn tabs. It's a musical "shorthand" specific to guitars (easily modified to any stringed instrument). It'll get you started and more confident.
Chords are what *most* guitar music is made up of. If you learn like the 4 most popular ones, you'll be able to play like 75% of the pop music made since 1977.
| YouTube YouTube YouTube, just keep going at it. The start is going to be frustrating af, the first time picking up a new instrument is foreign af. But you'll get the hang of it eventually, just keep at it.
Check out Andy Crowley on YouTube if you plan on going for guitar, it's a great channel for beginners.
| Piano. Find C (It's easy). A chord consists of 3 keys, every other key. The notes are in order.
| On a different note (pun intended) YouTube isn't as reliable as a dedicated music school. If you really wanna learn, y'should go there instead. Just my two cents.
