This has got me thinking.. Are there any musicians on this forum? I haven't seen any topics related to playing, learning music, etc.
There are, but they're sometimes a bit scattered about. You are correct, though: I believe it's been quite some time since we saw an actual thread dedicated exclusively to musical discussions. However, as a recent, and interesting, example, there is a conversation with adamscore, (one of the original composers from the The Witcher and Assassins of Kings!), over here. shestopalov, who occasionally shares his guitar arrangements of Witcher III music over in Fan Art (see also the most recent post in that thread) also comes immediately to mind. I'm sure there are, and have been, other musicians around. It's simply a bit of a trick finding them when and where they happen to visit.Alexius321;n7596660 said:

That's what I had in mind. I've seen threads or posts involving certain performances or announcements here and there, but those are isolated cases. I thought there would be a separate thread for people who would simply want to discuss musical intricacies, on a simple or complex level, or for those who want to, perhaps, take up learning an instrument so the ones who do play can share their advice, experience, etc.
Looking back through the archives, there have been one or two comparatively recent attempts to have musical discussions, but these appear to have concentrated mostly on musical preferences, and they didn't get far.Alexius321;n7597100 said:
If you'd like to start a new thread, however, and see what ensues, please, feel free.

I've never seen them live but have always wanted to. I use to love going to live shows. My favorite ever was this one:
It was a midnight show at Bonnaroo (in Manchester Tennessee) in June 2008. It had been like 90 degrees F (30 C) that day but it poured rain that night. It felt incredible, the music was incredible. It was just an awesome experience. The song above closed the first set with Metallica's lead guitar player joining in.
EDIT: I just realized I haven't seen a live show since May 2015 ...

That's just pure awesomeness. Bit of a reversal of what I experienced during Graspop 2016 - it was pouring all day, was soaked to the bone, but once Iron Maiden stepped on stage the clouds just decided to sod off. It was so good.
Last live show I went to was RHCP at the O2 back in December. Another band that is just amazing live and it was a bit of a dream come true since I wanted to see them live ever since I was a teenager.
