Just by reading my username, you can tell that music is a fundamental part of the content I create. And well, while it's true that I also focus on other niches and activities, from the beginning the plan was always to create musical content. That's how my adventure in this blockchain began, together with my wife. We decided to form a duo, in which she sings while I play the guitar. That way, we were able to greatly improve our musical skills, and that is something we are very grateful to the Hive music communities for, as they have always supported us a lot.
So, in my particular case, as a guitarist, I gradually improved in that area, since my musical performance since I started was mainly on the bass. It was with the bass that I had my greatest musical experiences, as I had the opportunity to play in a band, in which I was able to perform live a few times, and that is undoubtedly something I value very much. It was, if you will, a small dream come true, since, like any musician, you always long to play in front of an audience.
On this blockchain, I have had the opportunity to improve my skills on both the bass and the guitar. Being, at least at one time, an active user in music communities, I was able to feel more and more comfortable. However, in recent months, I have felt a slump in my enthusiasm for music, and that is probably because I now have other occupations that surely take up my time. But music is still present in my daily life, as I listen to my favorite bands, watch music videos, and enjoy music in general, at least by listening to it.
But, as the title of the post says, those two musical facets, both guitar and bass, must be completed. I say this because, although it is true that I can play some songs, there is still a lot of room for improvement. And for that, as everyone knows, it takes hours and hours of practice, perhaps even enrolling in a music school, where I can learn basic and academic musical fundamentals, which will undoubtedly allow me to improve and deepen my musical skills.
The above has always been a pending task. In a way, I have felt quite limited by not being able to acquire other knowledge that would be quite complex to learn in a didactic way. But, one way or another, I always try to stay in the loop with my instruments. While it is true that I have not recorded any covers in recent weeks, I sometimes pick up my guitar to play a few notes, a simple song, which allows me to keep the few things I know so far fresh in my mind.
I am writing these words because today I spent the day thinking, reflecting on how little progress I have made in recent months and that I undoubtedly feel the need to evolve with the aforementioned instruments. I've been looking into some music teachers, but I haven't been able to finalize anything yet. I hope to find the time and motivation to devote myself to what I love, which is mainly playing the bass and then, of course, the guitar. Without a doubt, these two elements are part of my lifestyle.
