Have you followed a cello community on Lenny? Maybe it'll keep the spark alive for you enough to get back to the strings. I wanted to play cello as a kid because of that little half plastic ball that goes on the end of the metal stick so you don't scratch the ground. Saw one that looked like a galaxy and was hooked, but they only had violins left at my school. so, you are essentially living my dream.

I'm a musician with dreams of opening a donations based label and covering a different genre every album. Currently releasing a mixtape where each song is a different genre.
Most recent release was on July 4th to protest all the horseshit going on in America: https://youtu.be/RsS5mFz-WgA
Also have a video explaining my dream a bit more here: https://youtu.be/1SROCLSPY9U

- Used to play viola back in school. Lost it around fall 2019, early winter 2020 during a forced move.
- I currently have an acoustic guitar I got recently. Really need to actually play it now that I have time instead of letting it sit in the case. Learn it instead of procrastinating.
- I should follow music communities to find more music, but I don't because IDK.
- I don't post because I feel like whenever I do post on a site like this that I need to respond to everyone who replies, which adds mental gymnastics I don't wanna play with .
Why talk about it when you could bee practicing or playing. most discussions feel like people who don't like it enough to practice and so theyeare not good and in turn are 'blind leading blind'
i play mandolin, at an okay. I dabble in many other things.
Because I'm in bed next to my sleeping wife and I wanna support the community and maybe reply to help someone on their musical journey.
I'm already subbed to a few comms but I'd take recommendations on what I should be following
What kinda stuff you into? Maybe search for your specific instrument and sub even if it's empty. The more people that do this the more we can find each other.
I play the guitar, but mostly I just learn tricky songs and I try to play them. I would happily read about music though.
