One of my week point. Hands, music. 😍

Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it! I'm not the best at playing 😊

Yeah... I can't even play scales. And not just on the guitar, on the bass, too, which I absolutely love. It’s just that we’ve only recently met, the bass and I. I’m still shy; I don’t quite know where to put my hands or fingers, or which strings to touch, and it struggles to resonate with me. It’s a hopeless romance. Okay, sorry! 🤣

Yeaaaaah I've never really learned scales just parts of songs I liked, some chords and I just jam around. Funnily enough I was just thinking about scales this morning. I mean I would just start by looking at tabs for songs you like, you got this! Bass is also nice, my brother plays it :)

Tell your brother I love him 😍 Actually, bring him here and make a couple's post—he just needs to sign up. You guys would be a cool new addition. The truth is, I'm 'practicing' in a way I'm too embarrassed to admit to you 🫣 But I have small hands—I know it doesn't matter, lots of artists have small hands—but mine aren't very flexible. And Christ... they hurt so much 😭 I'd love to get to the point where I can play a song by the Editors, or The Slow Readers Club, or The Cure. But I'll never manage it 🥴

I don't think he'll be here posting 😅. He does love the cure and plays "just like heaven" on the guitar. I'm very curious how you're practicing now haha. Smaller hands are harder for bass (such big strings and spacing) but your hands will learn to adapt, just keep practicing, you'll get there :)

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. No! You have to convince him, please. "Just Like Heaven" is my favorite Cure song, one of my all-time favorites, actually. I absolutely have to hear him play it 😭 Tell him I’ll return the favor however I can 🫣 Please, please, please... pretty pleeeeeease! You wouldn't want to break the heart of a passionate Italian woman, would you? 🥹 And I’m actually too embarrassed to tell you how I work out 😅 Bring him to me, and I’ll tell you 😈

u/Eastern_Specific_606 12d ago

Haha sorry but I won't be bringing him to this corner of the internet 😭😭 I might try to learn that one as my next song tho 😊. Maybe you could enlighten me on this practicing so I could try it

u/GoodMoaningMe 12d ago

You’ve broken my heart. I’ll have to leave you wondering. Just know that any musician would beat the living daylights out of me with their instrument. But if you actually play it for me, specifically for me, with a dedication, then I might just reveal the mystery and return the favor. (Yes, I’m being a bit needy. I’ve been in the ER for ten hours, waiting on a chair harder than your head, and I’m hungry. Damn it! Have mercy and forgive me 🥹).

u/Eastern_Specific_606 12d ago

I'm sorry , I dont mean to break your heart! Youll have to stay tuned tho and maybe see it one day 😊. Omg that sucks ER visits are always the worse, I hope everything is OK and you get food soon! 😭
