Terrible as always. Im curious if you are trying some long term trolling experiment for a serious company.
Pr if instead you genuinely suffer from a condition which alters your perception of your musical talent (no offense intended).

Since you have been doing this for years, do you think you could upload a video of you playing a test song?

That would be something *very* simple, like idk, Hang On Sloopy, or Blowing In The Wind ... All Along The Watchtower .. How Many Roads ..

Something that kids learn in 3 months of Guitar 101 in high school. Something that has clunky, blocky rhythm and a melody that strictly follows the rhythm.

Yes but ive seen your video "the song that got me into music" and when you play keys you seem to mix proper playing with random notes; and in the previous you couldnt keep time.
So you certainly know HOW to play but for some reason you cant just play a song properly ... ?

So. Pick your best instrument. Play ONE song, the easiest you can, and respect the basics: accuracy and rhythm. No weird expression notes, just basic chords, in 4/4 straight.

Ok I said that but I was wrong you are much better on piano.

BTW I really think you can play the piano, there were times (milliseconds) where you can tell you know how to play but as soon as it comes close to "real music" you become zappa on acid. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing Zappa got on the Rick Allen show by playing a bicycle. So it's good you are archiving your beginnings because one day like zappa we'll all look back in amazement, or maybe not.

I can't say anything bad, it's still better than anything I'd be able to do. :p Actually I should look at learning an instrument. not sure if it's something i'd be able to just pick up in my 30's though, kinda have to be born with the talent and start younger.

I cannot play the piano to be honest, i had bought a synthesizer once but gave it sort of away to someone i thought had potential(he could play anything he heard in just a matter of minutes without weeks of practice or any official musical education) but he rather preferred to chase girls and smoke weed. But i am wondering off.
You piano play sounds impressive at start, but then choosing the keys are an issue.
Maybe you should start with some classical pieces first and do some research how the music is build up, which tones , accords . That should get you going quite far. :)

The guitar :
A colleague of mine plays the guitar and it takes months of practice.
But to learn how to play, try to practice the play like sting does, or Mark Knopfler or David Gilmour. In that order.
It will help you.

Yes, you could learn it now, no, you don't have to be born with the talent or start younger.
I know a number of folks who didn't pick up the guitar until their 50s/60s.

Ok well thats exactly the opposite of what i asked for. It shouldnt be terribly hard to play one verse of four chords but apparently you cant do that. If you insist on ignoring rhythm then thats not music.

Yes, it's bad. It's low-level distortion pedal guitar wanking. The only reason I see potential is I get the feeling he is actually capable of playing something decent but is trolling, just like the terrible piano videos.

My roommate is letting me get a cat, I originally wanted a bearded dragon but im apparently not allowed. and rodents aren't liked here

I'm gonna still fight for approval of a bearded dragon lizard before i get a cat

Overall building policy takes getting a dog out of the equation

Do you think Genghis Khan had a cat?
