I know! I would've been crushed.... I'm not a new member, I've been here for 3 1/2, almost 4 years!

This week's quote: “Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.” ~ Steve Jobs....Have a great week!

Ya'll I haven't been on here in years and I just recovered my old account because of my little brother, so HI TO EVERYONE AGAIN

Little siblings can dig up all the things you've lost! I know, I'm the youngest. ALSO, HI.

Hey there! Welcome back! I actually don't think I remember seeing you around😅 I mean, I'd count myself as an old user, so you must be an ancient one? But great to get to know you!

Lol, I think you and joined around the same time... (I changed my user and got locked out of one, once) So, way to go ancients!

Hi everyone! I have a few questions! 1. Fruits or vegetables?, 2. Favorite show?, 3. Do you like school?, 4. Favorite artist?, 5. Do you play an instrument, if so what? My answers 1. Fruit, 2. I don't know! Too many, 3. Yes, 4. Friday Kahlo, piano. Thank you!

I assume fingerstyle? I do a little mix of strum with fingerstyle.

My grandpa teaches me and he said "I'm not very good at JUST fingerstyle." He combines them. It's certainly easier than just fingerstyle, lol.

Yeah, you guessed it right! I tried to use a pick, but it was a bit hard for me! 😅

Yay! It was hard for me the first month (I play violin. Guitar: Loose arm. Violin: Tight arm), but I've gotten used to it.

1. Fruits! 2. Alexa and Katie 3. Depends... Yes and no 4. Adele and my grandpa <3 5. I do, I play piano, violin, and guitar. I sing, too. Thanks for the quiz @bookschoolgirl!

We have a talented music prodigy among us! I mean, the piano and violin are complex instruments to play, plus singing and playing the guitar?? Keep at it!

Oh - when I responded I forgot to say that I don't have a vocal coach, I'm in choir, and my sister got me a pre-made vocal COURSE (pre-recorded and online) for my birthday months ago. I was talking about the violin, guitar, and piano.

Awwww, thank you! I owe it to my teachers and grandpa - he teaches me guitar. Shows how far you can go with good teachers! 😉
