Playing

I’m rubbish. Please help…

Welcome to the Yellow Mustard. What do you play? Where do you live? How long have you played whatever you play?

No, I’m sorry, but only true believers of the pure drop are allowed here.

Oh wait…

I guess I better leave. LMAO

I presume it’s something you squeeze! Anyway, welcome, from “Plucky Mark”!

And “Scrapey Ben”

Don’t worry, squeezyjoe - you are not alone - there are a lot of us out there who share your affliction 😉

The great thing about trad is that self-help is the most important thing. Listen to as much as you can and practice as much as you can and the bin will gradually empty 🙂

Play with me… you will appear much better. Its all relative you know!

Don’t spend £300000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.99p on a new box till you’re absolutely sure you’ve done everything possible on the one you’ve got and that it is, actually, carp.

Thrust it at an expert. If he plays it with insouciant brilliance, the fault is yours. If it sounds rubbish in his hands, though, there’s nothing for it but to go out and spend £30000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.99p on a new box.

Take a number, squeezyjoe, there’s a long a queue ahead of you. 🙂

Wait a second…

You can’t be rubbish if you actually know you are and admit it. That already puts you light years ahead of all those rubbish players that happily live in denial! 😉

Carry on! The first step is made! Well done!

lol SWFL how true 🙂

I wish I didn’t know how crap I was…. Denial..no, ignorance is a beautiful thing 😛

There is actually lots of vauable recyclable materials in rubbish…

As someone said, if you know you’re not good, that’s a good start. That means you can set objectives and work it in stages.

What is it you have trouble with? Rhythm? Phrasing? Remembering all parts of a tune?

Do you play along CD’s or other musical tracks?
