I can't sing to save my life. I can't carry a tune in a bucket. In fact, even though I can tell if an instrument is out of tune, I find it difficult to match a tone played on the piano, for instance.
I wish I could play guitar. I don't seem to "get" stringed instruments at all.
I can dabble with most instruments and play the guitar and bass reasonably well in my idiosyncratic way. I had lessons on the violin and clarinet as a kid. I have played music since I was about 8 and have written songs all my life and still do. I have recorded many of them using 4-tracks, 8-tracks, mp3 player condenser mics, laptops, London recording studios etc. I had a band at college. The town I grew up in had an amazing supportive amateur music scene where people with very little musical skills were able to have a go anyway and play in front of others. Even to this day I have quite a few musical instruments around the house although 'music' for me nowadays is just writing songs using a guitarlele (mostly).

Do you have any tracks on Myspace or youtube? I have some acoustic tunes I wrote for guitar, mandolin, and lap dulcimer on my space.
