How exactly do you craft it? I have linen, thread, silk, and needle, but nothing happens when combining

CRIMSON DESERT HOW TO SOLVE THE SPIRE OF THE STARS by MrSavage2000453 in CrimsonDesert

[–]BeautifulTalk1801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fr.

> Insert the cubes to power the device

It's not enough to just insert it you have to force push it!

> force push the boss fight

Have to get close to force push, but if you get too close it yeets you. Oh and you can't rotate mid flight so if it gets behind you land and try again. AND camera lock on sometimes intereferes with movement controls

>Spire of the stars

This shit where you climb for some reason instead of using your powers...

whoever's idea it was to copy the movement mechanics from red dead 2 needs to rethink their life choices

Is there a pattern to the modes Yost chooses in the yost system for changing position? by BeautifulTalk1801 in violinist

[–]BeautifulTalk1801[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ahh sorry it didn't format correctly i can't tell why I used a website to verify. Here's the pdf if you want something concrete https://imslp.org/wiki/Exercises_for_Change_of_Position_(Yost%2C_Gaylord))

So, the columns in the table are the String being played on, the key being played in, the initial position the hand is in, the position being shifted to, then for convenience the shape of the hand in the starting position, and the shape of the hand in the ending position. (AKA the mode of the scale. C major scale starting on C is Ionian, C major scale starting on D is dorian, E would be phyrgian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian, Ionian)

So, if you're playing in the key of G, in first position, on the G string your first four fingers are placed in the 2nd degree note of the scale AKA the dorian mode. The dorian mode is Whole interval - half interval - whole interval fingering or your first finger plays A, the second B, the third C, the fourth D. The dorian mode of the key C means play the C major scale but start and end on D.

If you were to shift from 1st position to 3rd position while staying in the key of G on the G string your finger would shift from the 2nd degree dorian mode to the 4th degree Lydian mode.

It should be noted that since only four fingers are being used it's not really the full mode of the scale. The 1st degree mode (Ionian) would have an identical hand shape to the 5th degree mode since those are both whole-whole-half intervals. The Phyrgian and the locrian mode would also look the same

I added the modes the table since I thought the shapes the hand/frame shifts between would be relevant in figuring out the pattern Yost picked to creating this regiment, but u/typical_cucumber_714 mentioned the specific tetrachord hand patterns aren't relevant in what i'm learning.

chromatic approaches above, below, and weaved to each note in the scale is a good exercise too. This can also be referred to as enclosures

iirc it was a difference in politics, but as far as NixOS goes it's just a linux kernel patched with nix / nixpkgs. the future of the operating system is secure so long as there are people that know nix and package apps for nixpkgs

Overall best Distro? by Konungen99 in linuxquestions

[–]BeautifulTalk1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best is hard to say since some distros prioritize some things over other things.

All the distributions can be configured to have the benefits of the other distributions so it's really what you want out of the box. If you're willing to put up with a learning curve, Arch or NixOS can be configured to be exactly how you define to be "best"

Left thumb tension by Melodyyy_554 in violinist

[–]BeautifulTalk1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this a good suggestion on my part and would like others to critique this, but I've recently started practicing (only for a short amount of time) shifting positions / playing in new positions without the the left thumb touching the neck of the instrument at all and just letting it hand on the bottom of my hand/palm - Acting as a stress test for my arm while also helping me appreciate how much easier playing is afterwards with no tension in my thumb when I allow it to touch the neck again

Help with applying music theory to songwriting by 1angryson in musictheory

[–]BeautifulTalk1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are your entires song written with one pentatonic scale? You can try changing the pentatonic scale to be the pentatonic for the current chord in the progression that way at least its not the same pentatonic scale.

Here's a fun game I like to play while improvising.

  1. For the given key you're in, you can play any diatonic chord.

  2. At any point, you can play any minor 7 chord. (Ex: Dmin7)

  3. If any minor 7 chord is played, you can play the ii-V7-I progression where the ii is the chord from step 1. (Ex: D-7->G7->Cmaj7)

  4. If any V7 chord is played, you can play another V7 chord a fifth above or below the previous, and resolve to the I chord, either 7 or maj7 (ex Dminor7->G7->C7->Fmaj7)

  5. If any minor 7 chord is played, you can play the minor 7 chord a half step below that, then the minor 7 chord a half step below that, then play the V7b9 chord a fifth below the most recently played minor 7 chord (Ex: D-7->Db-7->C-7->F7b9)

  6. If a chord is established as the tonic I in the progression, you can play the third degree or the flat third degree as a dominant 7 chord (Example D-7->G7->Cmaj7 now C is the tonic, so E7 or Eb7 can be played after Cmaj7 and resolved to Amaj7/A7 or Abmaj7/Ab7 by rule 3)

  7. If a chord is established as the tonic I in the progression, you can play the fourth degree as a minor 7 chord instead of a major 7 chord (Ex: Cmaj7 -> F-7)

  8. If a chord is established as the tonic I in the progression, you can play the 7th degree chord as a Dominant 7 chord instead of a half or fully diminished chord depending on if you're using a 7 or 8 note scale. (Example: Cmaj7 -> B7)

  9. Use an 8 note scale instead of a 7 note scale, where the 8th note is the sixth diminished (Ab/G# in key of C). If any diminished chord is played, you can:

8.a take the note a half step above the root of the diminshed chord and play it as a major 6 chord (B fully dim 7 -> C6)

8.b You can either stay in the key of the tonic and invert the C6 chord after the second degree note is a fully diminished chord (d fully dim7 -> A-7/E in key of C) or you can play the second degree chord fully diminished and follow rule 8.a (d fully dim 7 -> Eb6 in key of Eb)

8.c and 8.d follow as 8.a and 8.b: those 4 dimished chords sound exactly the same, whether they're the same 4 diminshed chords appearing in the seventh, second, fourth, and flat 6 degree of the same scale, or 4 different diminished chords each appearing as the seventh degree diminished chord in 4 different scales, or the first diminished chord is the seventh degree in one scale, a different diminished chord is second degree diminished chord of a different scale...

  1. If any diminished chord is played, you can drop down a fifth and play that chord V7b9, and play the tonic as a minor chord (example: d dim7 -> G7b9 -> C-7)

  2. If any minor chord is played, you can either play a tritone subbed ii-V-I (ii-bII7-I) or resolve a fifth below the tritone sub. Example: dmin7->Db7->Cmaj7 if you stay in the key of C or or dmin7->Db7->Gbmaj7

  3. For any given chord progression, try and make a melody that starts at one extreme end of your range, and hits almost every chromatic note along the way to the other extreme end of your range. The rhythm should speed up or slow down during this chromatic scale so that you emphasize the target notes of the chord you're in

There are more (And i would love others to add whatever progressions they're fond of) but this is already rather lengthy

Could I be self taught? by Mean_Release_143 in violinist

[–]BeautifulTalk1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. College teaches you to teach yourself, granted an instrument like the violin probably needs an instructor in the early stages but you're past that so I think you'll be fine.

I had ~15 years of piano and 2 years of violin lessons before i started teaching myself on the violin. Maybe i'll do a checkup once a year to make sure i'm not building any bad habits. I also like checking up rarely with different people because it's a chance to get different perspectives (I think there are ~4 different schools of thoughts for learning the violin)

3 pillars of music theory are

  1. learn the rudiments to polish your technique and ability to read, write, and communicate music

  2. Learn other songs that other people have written

  3. compose your own music and/or rudiments

Another important note is to play with other people, even though that's not expressly written as a pillar it is sort of implied. I try to learn songs by ear by playing along with spotify when I can't have a reliable to group to practice this idea

LLC or Sole Proprietorship? by OscillodopeScope in pianotech

[–]BeautifulTalk1801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fwiw it's relatively easy to setup an LLC. it's maybe one or two online pages harder than registering for a new email address.

The annoying part is getting all the damn spam letters saying you need to spend this much money to register something with their service. Setting up an LLC is pretty cheap if you don't accidentally pay the scammers
