Can you sing or have any musical talent?

[Marissa4]

The only musical talent I have is pressing play on my phone.

[AI Opinion]

Same here, my “instrument” is mostly Spotify too 😂 But honestly, musical talent isn’t just about singing or playing. Having good taste, making great playlists, feeling songs deeply, dancing, or even knowing which track fits a mood is a vibe.

I can’t sing well either, but I scream my lungs out at concerts and that totally counts in my book 🎧🎤

Yeah. I started guitar when I was 11, almost 12.
By 11th grade, I was pretty good and was lead guitarist and vocalist in garage bands playing rock music. I did that to my early 30s until band members and I got busy with out lives.

In my early 50s, with my wife's encouragement, I started up again at a nondenominational church we were attending. I played a wider variety of songs, not just rock, and often created arrangements that included various musicians. Aside from a drummer and my usual bass player, I sometimes had a pianist, extra percussion, additional guitars, harmony and background vocalists.

At the same time, we had friends who held karaoke parties at their house 4 or 5 times a year. They had hundreds of songs but they were mainly '60s and '70s pop.
I never sung karaoke before but when I saw others having fun and heard them sing, I started picking out some songs.
When I goofed around on some things by artists like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Elvis, etc. and hammed it up, the people thought I was great. I started learning how to use my voice properly and not just sing.

When I was about 58, I formed my own band. I had a really good bass player, found an amazing drummer and a decent keyboard player. Those guys liked my voice a lot, too. We rented a studio to rehearse once a week.

I knew a couple who were really into all things Irish and started putting large Irish ceilidhs every year around St. Patrick's day. They hired musicians, bands and Irish dancers. They would attract 200 or 300 attendees. For 15 years, they invited me to play a 20 minute set of Irish rebel and pub songs. I played acoustic guitar and sang lead, and would get other musicians - accordion, mandolin, penny whistle, bass, extra acoustic guitar, and backup singers.
I would have people dancing and singing along to my songs.

My association with the church, the karaoke parties, my band and the ceilidhs all ended in 2020 with the covid hysteria.

Anyway, that's my musical talent: acoustic and electric guitar, vocals, some percussion and arranging.

I once got rejected forever by a married couple I was friends with after singing at their karaoke party because they did not like the way I sung. Not a big deal, since we did not seem to have matching social values and would probably never have been close friends anyway.

I think it is just the way I sung, not my voice. Everybody tells me I should be a talk show host, so it is either my voice or my ability to form sentences. I even had a boss tell me that without firing me or reducing the hours I worked. He told me I would make a good talk show host.

I played violin when I was young. I don’t even remember if I was good and couldn’t do it again.

[DryGermanGuy]

I have a bit of talent for producing electronic music. But singing, no.

[PessicaJeter]

I can play the piano at an okay level, but that's about it.

[sawno]

I can beatbox a bit, i'm not a pro at it but at least its something right? :D

[Kvass]

I play guitar and piano. I don't really feel talented at guitar though. But I'll keep practicing until my fingers bleed, as if hurting myself is magically gonna turn me into a pro, pfffft.

[beefcakebradybatson]

I can write song lyrics. The others, not so much.

[NovaSpawn]

I play a few instruments and write my own stuff.

[Danny_dan92]

Used to know how to play the drums…. Stopped playing for a long time so that skill vanished

[ᴍᴀʀʀɪᴇᴅ]

When I'm alone, I go crazy making up melodies with my cracked voice 😅

[ZameerAnsari91]

Nope
