Music discussion is very lacking here for. Compared to reddit. And yeah I know, ‘just post then’. But when I search for music communities here they’re empty. And it makes sense because no-one is posting. So kind of a catch 22.

now i dont exactly know how all this lemmy stuff works but… to all you musos out there, can you join me and search for music under communities (I’m using summit app) and just at a minimum subscribe to all the ones that you would be interested in(if they were popping off)?

At least that way when one of us posts, the rest of us will actually see it (I suspect).

Anyway. Keep making the world more fun for everyone else.

P.s if your not a musician, but you like golf or something, subscribe to the golf communities even if they’re empty.

      If I had to choose an order of importance, just my opinion

      1. Posting
      2. Discussing
      3. Voting

      Edit: I posted quite a lot on jazz, gave up, went back. I’m only saying this to point out what is probably obvious, that I love the form

      I think realistically, jazz is both an intimidating, and quite inaccessible form in ways. Someone just dipping in their toes can find that what they expected was a cozy warm hot spring, and ended up in an infinite pool stretching in all directions

      It can be really scary and disorienting!

      I feel jazz isn’t really a genre so much as a viewpoint on life and sound, and that can make it so difficult to find common ground

      So in a weird way, it might be better if there was less discussion and more sharing. That’s probably a weird view. But what I would like is kind of selfish in my own way. The more people share and feel free to do so without judgment, the happier I am! Because I love new music, but like any normal human I do get trapped in certain vortexes. Apparently I entered a time warp to the 50s-70s and haven’t found a single step back in 20 years lol

        My guitarist has been a jazz player for 20 years. It’s fantastic. My band is working on funk originals. And I can say make that chord sadder and he can get it in more ways than just changing to minor. I can say hey, make my vocal land as the 7th to a chord and he can just find it. like damn. I have enough theory to get creative but it takes me ages to work it out. But it’s all at the tip of his fingers. Amazing.
