I’m not very musical, but I am super envious of people that can just pick up an instrument and strum or pick out some easy music.
I’d like to move from easy to tavern music because I watched a video of someone playing fantasy music on a mandolin which was beautiful.
What can I start with to just play with? I don’t know if a stringed instrument is best, because when I have tried guitar it sort of sounds flat, like the guitar is stuffed with socks. Maybe it was a garbage guitar.
Maybe something with keys, or even blow, like a flute?
I tried trumpet but I couldn’t get used to the blowing raspberries through the mouth piece…
Advice please!
I’m gonna be real with you: none of the instruments are easy in the way that you describe.
The easiest instrument for you to be able to play would honestly be the piano. it is the easiest instrument to play by design, and people don’t even realize it. It really only gets hard when you try playing separate parts with both hands, which isn’t a requirement.
You’re literally hitting buttons, which we do elsewhere in life all the time. Heck, I’m doing it right now!
