    Dude the fact that this was after two months of making music is incredible. The chords progressions are complicated, but you create them in a way that makes it look easy. Seems like a natural gift that you have. Keep it up man, thanks for the video

    If only, my talents are in other fields. Something about music just doesn’t click in my brain like traditional arts. It’s always very impressive to me to see good lyricists and musicians.

      Some learning process are really just like a maturing fruit, you never know when it will fall off but it certainly will some day. I learned a lot of stuffs by myself and the difficult part is always the same: be persistent eventhough it's not appealing yet.

      This was the exact thing I told myself that kept me from actually pursuing my own dreams of making music. But I ended up giving up on the mentality that because I’m naturally good at drawing I couldn’t try something else, and even though it was hard. Like seriously one of the hardest things I’ve ever tried to learn, it was so much fun and about a year later I’ve learned so much already so much that previous me wouldn’t have been able to comprehend, which I didn’t you know. Whatever, point is just fucking go for it
