    I have plenty of desire to do things, it's just very hard for me to discipline myself.

    You suffer from sitting on your ass in your room all day.

    It's not really that hard. Learn to read sheet music, learn some chords, put stickers on your keys, watch YouTube videos. It just takes dedication.

    But the beginning is always a bitch. I sat on my harmonica for a few months before getting good and learning some blues tunes. Once its fun you can actually begin to enjoy it instead of feeling like you're suffering.

    On topic: Just learn to play C major, F major, and G major. They're the easiest chords on almost any instrument and once you can switch comfortably you can make some good sounding shit very easy. It'll be rewarding very quickly. I'll upload something simple with only those 3 chords in a bit.

    Lol he shouldn't be any worse if he's had this piano for a while but is still trying to memorize basic music keys through repetition. Like I said, those are literally the three easiest chords to play and thus the first that you should know how to play before you begin doing whatever the fuck he's doing... staring at his piano? Even these three BASIC ASS chords have a lot of versatility.

    Here is the same on ukulele:

    You're just mashing whatever 'sounds good' aren't you? It's so off key.

    I haven't even gotten around to learning how to use the thing yet.
    Up until this point I would just use it to make ambient and noise music.

    Pretty sure they're playing nearly the same chords lol. F major, C major, then something else I can't hear too well over the squeak toy.

    On topic: I have a dog toy squeaker i used to strum with. I like using different things like coins and pens and knives. It's interesting on electric.

    How fucking hard is it to learn to play an instrument past an embarrassing, child-like level. You only need to spend a couple of hundred hours to do so. You need to accept that there are things more important in life than your own continual amusement and content consumption.

    If you did try, you'd fail.

    Do you guys think skill is like some sort of lottery, and some people get lucky and wind up being Zack Wilde tier just by accident?

    Lol you're stupid. Natural ability to develop skills is an objectively proven thing. So much for your racism eh?
