aww thanks....same to you...i desire that solitude man

well...minus the no electricity part

Haha Yeah,power=shred tone. But the solitude is not
all its cracked up to be,after about 3yrs of it.
you tend to get a bit"eccentric,iono. But i wouldn't
be who i am today without it so its a give take situation.

Haha ThankS!

Usual practicing routine, vocal practice - mainly personal vocal harmony. Also learning this:

I'm practising bachs minuet in G and also working on my orchestration (hell if I finish the tune I'm composing I'll start practising my scoring for woodwinds)

@jazz sweet song thanks for sharing

im trying to lear mozarts symphony in G....cant do fingerstle for sh*t...any tips?

@ V3 DOnt think,just do it,the more you say"oh i cant do it" the more
you wont be able to.....also try finger picks.

Just do it slowly, and when I said I was practising bach I meant on piano :P

Guitar I'm just jamming randomly or working on an eagles solo

@GS i never though about fingerpicks lol good idea

@DM i have some questions for you about plating piano...aside from that, i love bach. bach and paganini are my favorite classical composers.

i know a little bit of bachs paritita in Dmin and Bmin im learning both by ear so its gonna take a while before i know the whole thing

and i wanna learn all 24 caprices as well...along with some of his other pieces ( classtab.org )

I dont use finger picks myself,becuase im a proficient fingerstyle
player,but they may work for you.Also try hybrid picking.

And check out the videos of your playing thread to see my latest originl fingerpicked'classical piece,in DMIN.

Jazz, that video was amazing. Props to you for learning it. That was all Guthrie right? I thought there was actually some big mega jam then I saw Hendrix and was like "waaiiiiitttt a minute..." haha.

As for the topic at hand, I just play. The way I "practice" is to just listen to players I like, and try to do the things they do that I can't. Books and stuff never really did much for me, but I'll get on here and look at scales once in a while to freshen things up and get out of the little box of pentatonic or blues stuff once in a while.

@gs hybrid picking is what i do but that eliminates use of my index and forces me to use my pinky...so im going to practice PEMA instead

*pima

Puma

Sorry, I only have 'paint' at work.

that im an all knowing super being?

you play piano too?!?!?!?!? well dam

i started and stopped like 20 times

basiclly i just need the fundamentals...like what keys to put m fingers on as a starting position...how to move my fingers when im playin scales....stuff like that

Yes,piano was my first instrument,i spent all.my time
learning over a 100 classical pieces(fur elise,hungarian dance,
,the entertainer etc.).Then I got bord and quit playing xp.
Pm. your questions,im happy to help.

still trying to get my neck to loosen up(from brutal headbanging)
learning paradise city by Guns n Roses(for cover band)
trying to write material
practice everything I know XD(scales, chords, progressions, solos)

Pretty impressive. How old were you at this time? "Over 100 classical pieces", I am interested to hear you play a few. Jazzy is a pretty solid pianist, have you checked out any of her stuff?

Rock on!

I was about 12-13 but i gave it up back then.I might be
able to play one or two for you(if i remeber how)
And i get my keyboard back.
