Try to learn guitar

not everyone can become a master no matter how many hours they put into it. most become shitty guitarists, some become mediocre. must suck too after all that hard work

No its not because ive personally spent hundreds (thousands) of hours messing with video editing as a kid

But I liked it so it was more of a curiosity rather than a slog. Now its my full time job.

So I started learning the piano. Only about 100 hours in. But When I played some songs to my parents they were amazed and now im composing music for my videos. It takes a long time to reap the benefits but I feel so complete when it happens.

Yes I agree. But when you start comparing yourself to the masters thats when youve failed. Why cant you set your own goals that you compare to the past you?

>Nigger music
>Mumbling over melodies that were composed by whites

You do realize that early rappers started the whole sampling thing by taking music composed by German and British musicians, right? Not to mention that some of the greatest composer who ever lived were Europeans?

I would consider the process of learning to ride a bike interesting enough though

But I still don't understand why people romanticize these things without actually wanting to do them, even as a master player you're still learning. If you don't like the process, you won't succeed and even if you force yourself, the reward itself will be underwhelming.

just look up tabs and pick an easy song. Play the intro to the seven nation army. You'll wana keep going.

I believe in quality learning versus quantity, so it doesn't have to get frustrated.

You don't feel like a retard at all, if you enjoy the thing you do -the exploration is the part that is truly rewarding and the reward is there for you alone and no one else. Learning a skill for social status is not the way to go.

>tune it to drop d
>cover the 3 largest strings with one finger
Now every time you play a note on the low E string (now low d), you're playing an entire chord. Easy.

if you're tipping over every 5 feet you aren't doing the same thing a person that can ride a bike does, in fact from an experiential viewpoint the two are only related by the fact they are done with a bike.

>At 25 I think I'm too old to ever really master anything any more,
And you are. You can still learn, but trying to master anything will be like smashing a square peg into a round hole.

this is only true after the very beginning. it honestly sucks not even being able to play a simple chord progression or a very basic melody but once you are able to play some simple songs at full speed the learning becomes fun
