i got this guitar but i dont know how to play it i have the amp and everything but no clue how to tune or play it and make it sound like something other than struming a guitar...
My bf has a guitar. He's got buddies in a band who have been trying to get him to learn. There's a lot of information online that could probably help you out with that. ^_^
Oh, I miss playing the piano. I stopped taking lessons after high school. But I think I hit a wall then because I hated the technique portion and I was as good as I was going to get without working on technique.
I had a friend who played the guitar try to teach me once, I might have actually started to learn it for real if I had stuck with it. I'm just so used to the piano: everything is laid out in such a logical manner and playing notes on a guitar felt like I had to go all over the place.
I've never taken lessons. I almost got to, as a consolation for not being given a dalmatian, but then my parents divorced. TT^TT
I've been teaching myself more and more, though, and just now learned where each note is on the piano at a vocal jazz camp. xD
I know how to play a few really simple melodies, but I can't even begin to play with more than one hand. >n<
Playing with more than one hand takes some practice indeed! I can't even remember how I did it because it was so long ago. I do know that when learning a new song I still have to practice the hands separately at first and once I get decent enough at playing I start trying to put the two together. XB
It does help to play with just one hand at a time before going in with both hands. ^__^ I personally looove playing anime\video game music on the piano. 8D Especially from Final Fantasy.
Oh, oh, guys! Check out the link in my sig, pretty please? You know you want to. O__O It's calling your name.
Also, I'm thinking of starting an art shop so I can improve my skills. I've already done two pics for the RP the link in my sig's for; check 'em out and tell me what you think? Be brutal, honesty is the best policy. :)
I'm not a fancy art person, so I did the coloring with Crayola colored pencils. :P They have a tendency to streak sometimes, though, so any other (inexpensive) suggestions?
Yaay! Got my Evil Overlord!! And made my first bowl of Miso Soup not-from-an-instant-packet!!! The miso smelled oddly fruity, not what I was expecting at all... ^_^
Tastes about right though! I even put tofu I bought into it! Yaaay! Now I'll have to figure out how to use the rest of it quickly before it gets strange. I had to buy a huge package, 'cause that's what they had at the Korean Grocery I live by. Expecting family cooking usage out of their shoppers, probably. Ok, so the udon noodles was probably a non traditional addition, but I didn't want a bowl of rice with my breakfast.
Sounds, fun, Jez. 8D Unfortunately there is to be no home cooking for me in college. O__o;;
GOOD NEWS: I got a trial version of Finale SongWriter! It is totally awesome and I'm using it to transcribe the song As the World Falls Down so that I can play it on piano. I freaking love using this program, it's so much fun. 8D
BAD NEWS: homework. Argh. Why the homework?
AWESOME NEWS: I found this fan-made music video for Labyrinth. Watch it. Fangirl\boy shamelessly over it. Bow down at my feet for showing it to you.
Okay, so you don't HAVE to do the last one. But it would be nice. ;D
lol - I'll fangirl over it in about 25 minutes. My YouTube is currently taken up playing a Playlist of Gackt's new stuff. I can only fangirl 'properly' over one thing at a time. Gotta give each idol his due, so I'll wait on this one.
I've been in a very good mood since getting over that awful flu! I've got all sorts of ideas for jewelry and whatnot... now if only I was as good at getting these things out of my head and into the real world as I am at thinking of them.... >.>'
*watches now* ^_^ squee!
Is it just me, or were there a couple of moments of extra footage there? MY copy doesn't have 'behind the scenes' stuff... I think...
And I like the use of the promotional photos at the end.
I had to get up and check my copy. I've got the Anniversary edition, and it DOES have extras!! Why have I not watched these yet???? *baffled*
!!
NOW THAT YOU MENTION THAT!
I have the Anniversary version too!
-hasn't watch them either- o.O;
I've never even went to that section!
-has only watched the movie a bajillion times-
Imma have to do that tomorrow :3
At least I'm not the only one. Seriously, I have no idea how this could have happened. I'm thinking that I got it back when I was replacing some of my VHS with DVD, and may not have noticed. I'm tempted to put it in right now, but I've got stuff I'm supposed to be doing. >.>'
That was awesome! I totally went to YouTube and faved it. <3 I'll have to check out the other LMVs that person has made. ^^
Edit: I recognized some of the ballroom scenes as outtakes from the Making Of featurette (I love outtakes and making of stuff so I had to watch it when I rented the DVD).
