Eddie, is this directed at me? If so, I am learning an instrument, actually more than one; view the Showcase for examples.
I don't see any examples of you on the Showcase. Can you play an instrument?
I play 3. And I write. I produce my own stuff and have produced other local artists in my area. My lyrics come from my soul, not AI. My chord progressions come from my head, not Scaler. I have a BA in Music and as of this month I have 68 years of experience. (I followed that up with a 2nd degree, a BS in Computer Science.) I have been in some of the top bands in my area. I am just now old and physically unable to attack music with the passion and respect music deserves, so I retired from it rather than pretend I still have what it takes.
I have now retired and quit playing, but I didn't have to give the degree back. I still know music inside and out. I have been a showcase winner of a free copy of BIAB 4 times. I am all over the showcase. Don't you know how to search?
You likely do what you do at a very high level. I would never pretend to do what you do.
That's good advice.
