Preamble: I began playing guitar because I was already into writing poetry and singing, and it seemed natural to me to combine the two. My dad was a BA in music and was into Country/Folk/Rock Music, so I just learned from him. Situation #1: I have learned copious amounts of covers. Situation #2: Like you, I have written over 200 songs, only less than 50 of which are up online as recordings which I myself produced. Situation #3: I used to play for friends, back when I had any. I am advancing in age, though I don't look it. I guess the problem I have could be defined simply as Writer's Block. What do I write, that people are going to consider relevant, after more than 100+ years of music being recorded? I don't know! Do you? People tend to call this problem the catchy name of "analysis paralysis." I call it "menu shock." There are so many choices, and I don't know which path to take. I am so familiar with popular music that I am stuck. The instant I pick up my guitar, I have 40 bajillion different pieces of music occur to me. I've forgotten songs that I used to know. Where do I go from here? You asked me to say something in the comments. Well, here I am. 🙁
This comes back to writing music for yourself. You're thinking about writing music that's relevant, as you said. What about what's relevant to you? Also, this might help: th-cam.com/video/ECFNC4RoSC4/w-d-xo.html
@@MusicWithMarky yeah like list so i can write it down, n like go thru ur channel and more, topic wise. In here would be good, if ud wanna make a video on it, thatd be good too, up to u..jst need the informations . For now ik like the basic open chords, pentatonic (major/minor) ..and a bit of strumming. I liked ur vdoss on speed, ill be practicing that daily...so now im lookin for kinda a list of things i need to learn, like step wise
@@gyanankurpatgiri4272 oh yeah I understand now. That's something I've been working on organizing for a bit now actually, but I'm making that part of the upcoming Patreon. I've been at this a couple years now and it's cost farrrrr more than the tiny bit you get on Google ads, so I had been thinking about all kinds of things I can put on a patreon for like a dollar or two a month that have real value to people worth way more than that.
You make a lot of sense to me! Going to regroup and hit it hard!
Go get em!!

Nice
Ha ha, i was waiting to see if you were going to throw your guitar at the wall.
Not today. :)
In High School picked it up for chicks... Spoiler Alert... It didn't work.
Same here!
I was going to give you a thumbs up but you wore the same shirt for all three segments so I flagged your channel.
Fudge! I'm cancelled!
