Hi @Scott Hehir I am new here too and new to instrumental guitar playing as well. I used to just strum but after leaving religion, I found myself without repertoire and enthusiasm. I have en electric acoustic epiphone , a Fender Squier Strat that I don’t know what to do with, among other things 😉 My current favorite tracks of Sebastian are ‘half moon’ , ‘flowers’ and ‘floating’ 🙂

Hello, I’m Jane and live in Portugal 🇵🇹, I was born in the Netherlands but my parents were not (German speaking). I’m not experienced in making instrumental music. I’ve only played guitar and some ukelele with strumming, but my focus used to be singing and playing flute. After leaving religion behind, I didn’t know how to get started with any of the instruments I had and I still don’t know. Until I was 44 I had an imbalance in my brain, which made it impossible for all parts of my brain to work together. After 1.5 years of neuro feedback training, my brain was able to work more balanced, but even now, 12 years later I still have skills and abilities to learn that have been unable to develop until now. I still love music, although my preference has shifted a lot (!) but I haven’t gotten started with any of the instruments and equipment I have. I discovered Sebastian’s music on Spotify and made a separate playlist of his music, as well of Friend from Work and made a bunch of lists with music from other somewhat similar musicians. Instead of trying te rekindle guitar or ukelele, I thought I’d do something new and learn bass guitar, but the short-scale base I bought, was way too heavy for me. Now I have a Fender Fullerton precision bass ukelele (that I still don’t know what to do with). I don’t know if it’s possible, I wish there was a version of instrumentalists’ music, that I could play along with, almost like a karaoke version, if that makes sense. On bass Uke, or maybe even on guitar or ukelele (see pic). Last but not least here’s a picture of my guitar-Uke family: from left to right my Fender Squier Strat, my Fender Fullerton bass Uke , Epiphone PR4E electro-acoustic and Cordoba 25T-CE electro-acoustic tenor ukele.
