Re: Café Corner
Does anyone know of any good places to learn musical instruments? I have a guitar and piano but am not a prodigy and must learn how to actually do these things instead of just doing them without effort but my brain is old and doesn't want to learn but also wants to make cool musics helps mes plz mini/tongue
It kinda depends what you want to do. If your end goal is to play with other people, you probably wouldn't go wrong starting with a book on music theory (Edly's Music Theory for Practical People is pretty good) and working through it to get those foundations laid out early. If you're just wanting to play alone or in informal settings, learning some chords to your favorite songs on the guitar isn't a bad way to start. There are guitar tutorials on Youtube for most popular songs, if you're a visual learner. You can always work on the theory as you go along in either scenario, it's just difficult to communicate with other musicians if you don't know the basics.
I think what's really important about learning an instrument (or anything for that matter) in the beginning is to have fun with it, which means playing music that interests you. I'm not a music instructor and I'm not a master of any instrument despite being competent with a few so take my advice with a grain of salt, but IMO if you aren't having fun, you'll struggle to keep playing. And since practice is the key to really learning something, finding a way to make it enjoyable for yourself- particularly when you're in the early stages and struggling to sound decent, is a must.
EDIT: Also, buy a beginners book for whatever instrument you're playing. They're cheap and they should lay out correct technique for whatever instrument you're using so you'll avoid picking up bad habits in your early practice.
