Well I’m far from the world’s greatest piano player. I stopped taking lessons about the intermediate-early advanced stage. So I can play some fairly advanced music, in fact I prefer more complicated or creative takes on the Christmas classics. But it is different from just being a passive listener.
I hope you get to find time with the guitar these days - I always wanted to learn to play classical guitar, it’s so cool to have that as a hobby!
I played bass with a little four piece band in college. I’d listen to a lot of music with the bass turned up so I could learn basslines, practice them, and then build off of them and do my own thing. And it was a pretty easy transition since a bass is strung just like a guitar without a B or high E string. I haven’t played regularly in a long time, but I do find time to get the guitar out and kill time when I’m at home alone here and there. Most of the music I listen to is one of like four different chord progressions, each made up of three or four chords lol
Most of modern music sounds that way to me - basically three or four chords over and over and over again. I guess that’s why I like many of the older pieces, they’re a little more complex and when they are jazzed up they sound really great. Although I will say, Jazz to me is much harder to play than almost any other type of music.
