#UltimateGuitar changed my life for real. Ahh music theory is so cool! I have learned a very little bit a couple years ago from a voice I class, and also from years of conversing with musicians. I only recently cracked the power of the transposing button at the bottom of UG.
I have a keyboard hand-me-down from my roommate that I briefly learned a few things on (two handed twinkle twinkle, baybee!), but it quickly was set aside while I've been consumed with school and more inclined to play guitar/uke when I'm feeling musical. I would love to learn piano/keyboard properly some day! I feel like it would open up so much more understanding of music and ability to write more interesting songs.
Oh my gosh I bet you looked so glamorous too! Glad you got to enjoy the art for a while before the drawbacks were too much :).
Do you miss performing? Do you play for friends? Do you post your music on social media anywhere?
