Ya I play an instrument - The saxophone. I just got a good recording setup last week! I was just thinking about this angle. That ultimately it's up to us to start making new music. And it might not be me that creates the new top ten songs, but me getting out there and playing will get others out and playing and get the culture of us making our own music instead of having someone else do it for us. And one of those people will make the top 10 songs.
I was playing on the street solo for often 100-500 passing people per sitting. I've decided I want to switch over mainly to recording to practice playing in time with other instruments / players so I can practice getting to play in a band / jam scenario.
I was thinking about setting a street jam weekly meetup.
The first recording session I did was quite humbling lol however I got dramatically better just after a few hours of listening to how I sounded, deciding on what to improve and improving it.
I'm actually taking weekly lessons again with the focus on ear training, improv, jamming, transcription, solos and playing with others. So basically no sheet music.
