I tend to listen to every instrument apart from each other after listening to the whole. But mainly I focus on the guitar. I was just wondering, where do you all focus on? The lyrics, the guitars, the bass, drums, the song as a whole? Do you switch your attention or keep your focus on one element?

Cheers!

Do you listen to the lyrics first or the drums predominantly? ✌️

when i first listen to a song? i listen to the melody and notes etc then the lyrics.

but sometimes ill just outright delete the song when i realize the lyrics give me bad vibes

the one that stands out more

3 examples:

money for nothing -drums at the begining then guitar riff most of the song

freebird - guitar solo

Rush Cowboybebop- sax or trumpet most of the song but bass at the beggining

this last one is a masterpiece you can filter any instrument you want an still sounds badass , when u listen to them all its just perfection

nah man, my grandmother has one tho xD sometimes she asks me if she can record me playing so she can show her followers how proud she is of his grandson ahaha

Love my grandmother :')

Im not that talented, I love music but I love a lot of things so always was a hobby and never really tried that hard

Ah I see, nothing wrong with using the guitar as a past time only. Very cool even haha How amazing that you have that great bond, thankfully it looks like you know what gives life color and joy. As I always say Hold them tight before they take flight. If you ever do get the urge to make a channel and post some stuff (doesn't have to be super rockstar worthy, I started on a different channel just to keep track of my progress) let me know dude!

Wow you play amazing dude! That "Adaptação de Too Much- Sampha" video gives me chills! Brings me to a nostalgic place. Very cool, thank you for that! the Erdna one is really pretty as well! I would love to hear that in high def! Is that you on the violin also?? I think your grandmother is right to be proud! I like pretty music so I subscribed :)

When your happy you enjoy the music but when your sad you understand the lyrics, take a breath and let that sink in
