The drinks are on the house and there is no charge to use the washroom. I can write songs and can play them, but not like an experienced talented player. And God knows I can't sing - but I do anyway, especially when I am trying to write a song. I can't see anyway around it. If I have something I think is nice I have someone who can actually sing - sing.

I would love to share my progression without feeling ashamed, but I also like to have some good friends to share music with.

I think you should share if you are comfortable with it. The forum membership here is quite positive. I know there are some members who are very talented and competitent but most of us are just doing the best we can.

Good luck with your studies.
