Comment on You can only pick one
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 9 months agoMy question is how would you know exactly how to play a song but not be able to play any instruments. That doesn’t make any sense.
If you know how to play the chords for the verse, chorus and bridge then you know how to play it on guitar.
I think it would be like drawing. If you don’t have aphantasia and have an epic image in mind, and basically only be able to put it down in stick figures.
In this case, you might know what strings to press and how hard to strum those strings. But you still need to get your fingers on those strings without tangling them and know how to pluck and strum them.
Oh man, as an artist and musician I feel this
As soon as you learn the instrument you know how to play every song on it, but that doesn’t mean you have the skill necessary to play it
Not if you don’t know which strings to press and where.
