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.
I sing and play folk music on the guitar and early music on lute and recorder (my favorite size is the tenor).
Have you found any Lemmy communities for folk music yet?
None that I know of. I’d love to see it though!
What sort of folk music do you play? I love Scottish and Irish folk and primarily play guitar, but I’ve never really figured out how to properly incorporate it into that kind of music
Mostly American stuff, the way I like to play solo is with fingerpicking chord melodies. I’ll usually try to find a way to play the tune with my open chords and then mix in some other voicings to spice it up.
When playing early dance music I prefer to strum diads though; I’m usually in the middle or low register in a dance pit, filling out the sound for the melody instruments like vielle or citole.
Dyads makes sense actually, the closest I’ve ever gotten to finding a sound I like for it is when I’m playing my guitar that I keep in open C tuning. Vielles and citoles would be a rare sight over my way, but violins take on the exact same role. Thanks for the advice!
