| I've always had this fear if I got good enough I would become one of those douches who join a band and play bad covers at hole in the wall bars on the weekends. |

I like to be all in or not at all. I find after a long lapse it takes a lot just to get back to where I was. To me its like exercise, if you fall out of a routine your done for.
I find at the beginner/intermediate stage its not very creative. You are just memorizing songs others have written and performing them like an amateur. That's part of my problem I get frustrated and want be able to have fun and not sound like a hack, even though its just a hobby. I mean whats the point of doing something sub par. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist. I just hate it when my desire exceeds my ability. |
Good for you - personally I can only play trumpet for so long before I loose my chops, keys tend to only interest me for a short time during improv and composition, and guitar is even more so.
Why go all into 1 when you can go all into 4?
There is no upper limit. thats it.
10 years ago I was perfectly happy with the music I made... I look back and almost all the music from that period doesn't really do it for me.
I revised one of my tracks today

and I'm digging it 'today' ten years from now it may be a different story.
the fact is that music is about the experience - a lot of pros may have good techniques but the music they play is bollocks.
90% of music that was fill and just ok 10 years ago is utter junk today.
Technical errors suck for sure but a good song or bad one isn't based on how complex it is.. some good songs are actually quite simple.
Hopefully you'll learn that. You will never be the best - until you are god themself. That is just the general rule of things.
Put your all into it sure... fact is I find the experience better when I do so when I actually enjoy it because I enjoy it. Hell its not work.
music is expression. you want a photocopy copy it. |

Bass and electric guitar. Death metal. Bass is pretty versatile, but in my opinion, electric guitar is mostly good for shred.
But shred is good! |

| Wanted to get a drum set when I was 12, didn't have room for it. Then I wanted to get an electric guitar when I was 14, my parents told me to get an acoustic guitar, I told them to go themselves. So I pretty much missed out on the whole "rock" scene. |

You were born in 1991. Sure, you missed out on the 'rock scene' but it had nothing to do with you not owning an electric guitar or a drum kit :p |

I played the Mandolin for about 10 years and Violin for 3. I know how to play a few (relatively simple) songs on the piano but never had any formal lessons. I've also been meaning to learn how to play guitar, I even bought one but it got stolen. :(
I haven't played the Mandolin or the Violin in ages, I don't know if I'm still any good. I should get back into it. |

That's really cool. I've never met anyone that can play the Mandolin. I don't think I've even seen one played live before. Maybe in a band? I dunno. |

Yeah it's not very popular, I don't know anyone who plays Mandolin apart from the kids in my childhood Andalusian band.
Edit: I also play the Arabic drum or 'Derbake', but I think almost every Arab can play that one by default. :D |
