Is It Normal?
What do you think?
I am restricted by myself...
In my head, I can make all this beautiful music with words that ebb and flow to the rhythm but unfortunatly, I cannot sing or play a guitar. My voice is terrible and no matter how much I try, i cant learn guitar. Its a terrible feeling...creating these songs in your head but being unable to share them with others. And even if i was to learn to play a guitar, I wont be able to sing them. I know that this question isnt a "is this normal" question, but please, any advice?

keep trying to learn guitar, it will give you character.

just cause you cant do those two things now doesnt mean over time you wont be able to
God, it takes time. Patience, you know?

You can also try to see a psychologist who can suggest an outlet of some kind.
If you can write the lyrics nothing else matters.A good writer is worth a thousand singers.


The words remain.
Try keyboards. The advantage of this is that you can buy a portable unit; also, even the worst musician in the world can bang out a recognizable tune in no time. Keyboards are also the instrument of choice in learning to write music, which will help you to get those tunes out of your head and onto paper.

You also need to learn to read music. Quite a few people feel you can skip this important step, but as a musician myself, I think you'd really be handicapping yourself if you couldn't tell one clef from another, didn't know how to recognize simple chords, etc. You also wouldn't be able to give your musical ideas a written record without this skill.

Good luck! Music has been a huge part of my life, and I hope you get a lot of pleasure out of it as well.
duh, ur a writer man. You make one song with an awesome tune, and you live the rest of your life off of royalties, the trouble is getting someone good to play it for you
Make a song like Billy Jean. Incredible song
Pay for lessons easier than teaching your self or get decent music software for your PC and hey you have a guitar
