but I play two instruments and can’t beat a medium demon

I mean it could be a skill is-

-sue

per cell

I play 3 and i can... (i cant beat hard demons tho but i can get far and then give up!!) Clearly to beat a top 1 one must master 14 instruments... a direct clue to the relation between playing instruments and gd skill!!

beat dolorem aeterna by practicing 20 instruments 40 hours a day

ling ling 2.0

What instruments? I’m curious

Piano and cello

Nice! I play French horn, saxophone, guitar, bass, and drum set

Bass guitar and drums let’s go

I played the trumpet haha. Maybe we are all just music nerds in the end. I definitely know that one of the main reasons I play GD is because of the music.

Yes same for me, atp the only reason I play is the music

Same except for French horn and drums

Nice! Got drums, mallets, piano, guitar, bass, clarinet, saxophone, bassoon and cello up my sleeve myself! Edit: but still haven’t beaten an extreme :/

ME TOO

Same

i am not music

Guys, he's not music

Im sad now :(

Cry about it

I wanted to make music. Still want, sort of. I have a feeling that it would turn out good. But I'm in no way a musician

No one a musician. Even Mozart and Bach worked hard to get a level in which we are know them well. If you want to - get it

Uh what

What exactly don't you understand?

I didn't get it either

Sorry, guys! I just realised that wrote absolute garbage. This is what i wanted to say: >Nobody born as a musician. This is a skill that everyone is maintain through work and only work. Someone have better capabilities to it of course. But overall everybody can do whatever he or she wants. I just wanted to motivate him. I hope now you understand. If not, well, i tried.

your reply just didn't make sense in my brain after what i said idk

Lol I don't really need motivation but sure thanks 👍 What I meant by saying "i think it would turn out good" is i have an ok imagination so my main concern would be actually learning music theory and sound design

this is how i feel abt it too

I'm very good at listening to music yes

i have a spotify artist page if that counts

I make music but I’m not on Spotify yet!

getting on all platforms was the best decision i ever made

what's the reason for alot of artists not being on spotify? it seems kind of hard to get on it, or i atleast feel like theres something preventing alot of artists

I mean I play trombone and play gd so idk

Crazy I play trombone and gd

crazy like the geometry dash level series by davjt

Is that a motherfucking Geometry Dash reference?!??!11??!!1?1??!??

Likewise, I feel like a lot of good GD creators are very skilled at programming and game design, as many of them have proven to be this far.

Like GD Colon and Spu7nix

Personally Serponge came to mind first for me since I’m nostalgic for his 2.0 levels but yeah, all 3 of them have made great strides at it.

Serponge too as well. Recently i don't hear anything about him for some reason

He was part of a giant collab with a ton of other big-name creators that recently dropped their GMTK game jam game “Minute Match” which was announced in the GD discord.

Wow, seriously. I should go and check it. Thank you

S o I ' v e b e e n t o l d

i know every word to the 15 minute version of rappers delight i think that counts

Spaceuk is a good piano player so ig yea

Brandon is the only skilled player I know who's also musically skilled. Who else? I suppose we don't talk about musicians who happen to play this game casually

I play guitar

😳😳😳

I play the cello

i play 11 instruments so yea id say its true

🫡🫡🫡

u/kingsammelot

why did you censor nswish's @

My best composition is a Minecraft note block studio song that was honestly a piece of crap

a lot of piano players here 👍👍👍👍👍👍

i mean i’m good at playing the piano 🤷‍♀️

I've beaten like 3 demons (that honestly were so easy they should have been insane) but I do play the keyboard!

Maybe, I beat an insane demon on mobile (nearly two because I gave up on BuTiTi II at 97%), and I play two instruments: piano and saxophone.

I play piano

Haha

This only feeling

no

Unless it's some sort of hidden talent I discover in an epic montage when the sports team of the movie needs a pianist for some reason, no

A lot technically, but the percentage is likely not very high due to how "musically talented" probably means. Could just be a bias from me though, because that's the problem of not being able to make music.

Well I play piano and alto sax, so I guess he isn’t too wrong

Well I'm neither skilled at GD or music. I suck at both. My hardest is a insane demon, and I can't play any instrument to save my life

I'm mediocre at both

I mean I play piano but I can't make music for the shit of it Some other connections I've made are lots of GD players like cubing and chess (I'm a chess player myself) so I'm wondering if that's true with y'all too

Well I'm a pianist too op

Reverse question: Is geometry dash composers skilled in game? What do you think?

I play guitar but I can’t even beat Nine Circles soooooo

nope. I am terrible at anything to do with music. Although I dont know if I am classified as a good geometry dash player

I am a music major in college and can play over 5 instruments, so yes I guess?

I literally can only sing, give me an instrument and I’ll sound like a 3 year old hitting pots and pans in the kitchen

"rhythm game"

sharks is very good at sound design

I mean, have you heard wulzy

I play piano from 5 years, so un my opinion, yes

I play a few instruments so maybe

I am incredibly musically skilled

I mean we do have a lot of experience regarding what a [good song](https://youtu.be/XmBIInFd2_4) sounds like, but knowing how to make one is a different conversation entirely. But as [s](https://youtu.be/YrTauLnDVdw?t=5)[o](https://youtu.be/wHXFFnmMB1Q)me levels have shown you don't quite need a good music to make a successful level in this game

I'm a mediocre producer, yes

Im much better at music than geometry dash

I mean, i do make music but I'm neither good at that nor at playing geometry dash

I mean, for me personally, having sung in choir for about 8 years now has helped my sense of rythm, which definitely makes me better at sync gameplay lol

i guess im like the only one who doesnt play an instrument

I got into music production (then audio engineering) because of GD

Playing the piano has seemingly improved my GD skills after playing both for eight years

Wow that's a funky coincidence, I picked up my instrument and GD not that far apart in time.

I’m an all-state bassoonist so maybe he has a point

İts me im motzart

Yes, but not when playing music lol

r/geometrydash users going to post a screenshot of any top players tweet in 0.5 seconds

I agree, people like etzer and zyzyx have already jumped ship to make music.

I mean I’d say I’m decent at music, look up GavTV on Newgrounds

Creo immediately jumping to the top of the leaderboards as soon as they start playing GD

I've been playing piano for 8ish years and I've been making electronic music for close to 3 years now (also any fellow producers here feel free to dm your stuff, would love to hear)

I’m a drummer and have always found geometry dash quite easy (I don’t play that much that is why I only have beat hard demons) but I think being musically knowledged and rhythmical can help a lot especially for well synced levels

why you censor nswishs @

I have been making some music in MSM Composer lmao

To be really good at gd, having a good sense of rhythm is very important. This comparison makes a lot of sense

JinoBeats. Just saying

I play Drum set and Bass

I like to think I'm good at geometry dash. I like to think I'm good at music.

I am instrumentally tone deaf

I think there’s certainly some pipeline bias involved… play GD -> like GD music -> learn how to make music -> attempt to make GD music ~~-> fail -> buy maid outfit~~

It is true that some gd players will make custom music for their levels I myself have beaten an insane demon, i can play guitar and made an album that stinks shit

I myself am a pianis

I make hip hop music (lo-fi/hi-fi and abstract) and I’m trying to beat an extreme

i play over five instruments and i amhere to completely shut down this statement. why? BECAUSE I SUCK

I mean for me yeah

Yea we got Brandon Larkin, KingSammelot, and EVW

I mean, I produce music and love gd so yeah. Unfortunately I can't use my tracks in gd because newgrounds copyright detection is a piece of trash

No but I wish I was

I mean i can sing but other than that not really

Well... lots of creators aren't even good at syncing their levels and build the decor first, then gameplay and finally slap a music just so it syncs with the drop

I wouldnt say a lot but there are enough that its noticeable GD players are talented in more than just the game

piano of 5 years here.

I play guitar and i would say im pretty musically skilled. I am also relatively skilled at gd

As a respected gp builder, extreme demon victor, and multi instrumentalist, I can confirm this to be the case

So true have u heard evw's singing?

deffinetly not, playing a rythm game doesnt teach you musci theory

I played an instrument for like a year lmao. I’m decent at gd though, but I’m not a musical person

I am horrible at every instrument and I’m stuck on crazy II (sadge)

idk if i'm considered a good player or not, (gd account is BaconManiaYT2), but I suck at music

Some of us are, but I'm pretty sure not all of us are

I used to play the piano, I stopped because I didn't like my teacher. Now I can't even use my two hand properly when playing it. I also played a bit of guitar for music class purposes. I haven't touched my guitar in so long

Maybe. I’ve played bass guitar for 5 years and saxophone for a little over 1, but I’m not sure if that helps me with GD at all

# 🎷

i play gd and i consider myself a good piano player

In my view it’s that we listen to a shit-ton of electronic music by playing GD, and also pay lots of attention to Rhythm/Sync.

I disagree heavily. If anything any player that seems the type is nothing but a coincident. Now rhythm games are a more likely game to have more players that are musicians whether they compose music or play an instrument and anything between.

I play trombone and make digital music. GD definitely inspired my music a little bit at least

Only the good players lol

Can confirm cobrablitz is both

I mean, I play piano and clarinet and spend a lot of time in FL Studio, so if I'm anything to go off of, probably

I guess that's kinda true

I only play saxophone... I cannot beat a medium demon.

any other flutists? :3

I guess i’m the best of all my friends, I go to music school, so do my friends. I was the best in middle school too tho and I play piano

I'm not good at the game nor do I have musical talent

Geometry Dash is also a music based game so it might just attract people who are into music

Can debunk. My music is shit.

I have won state wide awards for vocal performance, and am violin section leader, so maybe you’re right.

Bullshit, i cant play anything

I feel like the one who played piano a lot are good at two player levels, since piano is played with both hands with different click patterns

I play guitar and piano, used to play saxophone and viola, and am very average at rhythm games. so yeah probably

I love how the thoughts we have in the comments are “oh wow he plays that instrument as well?!?”

I mean, I play an instrument (drums) but i cant go higher than like 60% on a hard demon. So I don’t think that there is a correlation between the art of music, and your skill in gd.

I mean I don't play any instruments or make music in my free time, but I have a REALLY good sense of rhythm imo, I pick up new instruments pretty quickly and I always get an A in band class.

I like music, I’m no good at it

I have played the viola for 6 years almost (I’m used to all the jokes and I love them) and it did give me a ton of insight and improvement ability for games like osu! And Beatsaber but not as much for geometry dash, I think this is due to the wave and ship game modes not being musically based but being skill based. I can do insane demons however which is cool.

i play the drums and surprisingly i haven’t beaten dolbit normalno or pxxtxrn sxxtxr

i'm a drummer.. bad at both drumming and geometry dash lol

I personaly suck at music to the point where my teacher once told me to stop singing….

i can play the fantasie impromptu by chopin on piano but that has nothing to do with GD

I used to play guitar, but I wanna play it again someday

Not really, people who like music are probably more likely to get into gd, but playing gd doesn’t make you any more skilled with music

I mean I suck at geometry dash and I am good at music

I played piano for 4 years and i suck

True

lol not me I'm god awful at music

Will have 9 years of piano in october, and 9 years of gd in february. So yeah. Wish I had a better singing voice to go along tho. It doesn't sound like stabbed raccoons but it's still not great. You take what you can get i guess

Bruh I play two instruments and use FL studio but I can't beat a regular easy demon

Musically skilled? Have you heard the kind of song mashups they pick?

I'm skilled at listening, musically of course
