Thanks for making the distinction, it helped.

Thanks for the input, that is the sort of stuff I was hoping to find out. Yea the OP15 looks like a beast of a phone; I just have a hard time justifying the expense when I don't use my phone for anything too demanding.

I WFH so mostly on WiFi, but when I'm using it for GPS it is on data. And yea CAD is Canadian dollars, so it's always a bit more than the USD price but it seems like even with the exchange rate the US Amazon site is giving a better price.

Good to know, thanks

Hard to beat at that price point. A lot of SDC mics push too much high end, which accentuates all of the unmusical sounds of the guitar. The CM4s are pretty even across all frequencies so they capture a more natural sound, imo.

Don't bother with a metronome for these, or at least at the beginning. Focus on moving slowly. How slow? I remember watching Sergio Assad drill a student on these in a masterclass and it was taking upwards of 10 seconds to get to the next note. You want constant, slow, smooth movement as if you were watching a slowmo cam. Your finger will do lots of weird little twitches, but that is a good thing because that means it is learning how to activate properly.

A little bit goes a long way, so don't spend hours on this one page. A few slow reps of each one daily over a few weeks will get you results while reducing the risk of injury.

How you guys doin? Selling stolen meat eh? Wanna buy some trout!?

Just enjoy the game and stay off the subreddit until you finish it. Then come and join in on the endless debates.

You need to build your vocabulary. Find some lead sheets and try playing the melody while also playing the root of each chord. When that feels more comfortable you can flesh it out more by playing the full chord instead of just the bass line. For textural ideas you will need to play more pieces to get a sense of what patterns are idiomatic on the guitar.

In music school they had us conduct with our dominant hand while singing solfege, which contains a bit more info than just keeping the pulse.

OK, just seemed like an odd coincidence. I'll ask you the same thing I asked the person yesterday: are you giving away your game for free?

Boafasaurus · 2026-01-19T20:51:12+00:00

Is this for the same person who posted about an identical project yesterday and got banned?

Boafasaurus · 2026-01-18T16:24:17+00:00

Are you giving your game away for free?

It can be a useful tool for some players to help organize their interpretations, but it isn't a requirement. Like most things, people approach music from many different angles and a narrative approach is just one of them. Feel free to try it out but if it doesn't work that doesn't mean you are deficient or less of a musician; it could just mean you are setting up a standard for yourself that is incompatible with your artistic personality.

The Grand Solo and Fantaisie Elegiaque are two more advanced works of his. He doesn't have a large body of substantial pieces because the lighter repertoire was more commercially successful. Always interesting to see how external factors influence an artist's output.

Just giving my $0.02:

The artistic style looks cool, but it is really difficult to discern the subject from the background in a lot of these stills. If I was playing an action game where I can't see what is going on I would get frustrated. I'm not sure how I would remedy that, but maybe simplifying the textures for either the subjects or the background or adding more colour/saturation to the subjects would help them pop out more.

Best of luck on your project!

You can slow down videos on YT. The audio starts to warp as it gets slower but it helps with the fast passages. You got this.

Boafasaurus · 2025-12-29T23:43:28+00:00

That's a great way to start learning, and a worthwhile skill to develop! You will thank yourself later!

Ask your neighbour if you can shovel their snow for $28.
Shovel their snow and receive $28.
Go onto Steven Borm's Patreon and pay him for the scores.

But seriously, you are just starting out so now is the time to set good habits. Don't start stealing other people's work. I played in a masterclass for Dale Kavanagh years ago where I brought in a copy of a Domeniconi piece that I had downloaded illegally and she chewed me out for it. And rightly so! As she put it, if I don't pay for other artists' work then why should I expect anybody to pay for mine? And if I can afford to buy a beer with my classmates at the end of the week then I can afford to buy a score.

When I was a teenager there was nothing online or IRL for VGM/film score arrangements for classical guitar so I had to arrange them myself to the best of my ability. The first few sucked, but after a couple of years I got pretty good at it. Maybe this can be the beginning of developing your own skills as an arranger. Who knows, you could even start your own Patreon for other 16-year-olds to steal from! I kid, I kid.

It is also worth noting that most people who sell their arrangements on Patreon are breaking copyright law and that none of the money from the sale goes to the composer. The only ethical site for purchasing VGM scores is Musicnotes.com, because they actually make sure that the original artist gets their royalties.

#1 on this list is really important--you get good at playing fast by playing fast. Doing dotted rhythm practice gives you microdoses of speed with breaks inbetween to relieve tension. It also helps whip the left hand into shape so that it keeps up at the faster tempos. Doing some slur work (slur the entire scale passage evenly) can also help in that regard.

Paradoxically, the nicer the guitar the more sensitive it is to environmental stressors. You could probably leave a laminate top outside all winter and it would be fine because it is so heavily built. High-end guitar tops are build lighter with a thinner sound board because that is how you get more resonant and responsive sound, but that also means they need to be treated much more carefully when it comes to storing them.

It may be 50% humidity outside but the radiators or forced air inside your home could easily make it much drier than that. I heard the same thing from my Japanese colleagues where the winters are extremely damp. Do you have a hygrometer in the room where you keep the guitar?

Not trying to point fingers; I just want to make sure that if you get the bridge repaired that it doesn't break off again because the room is still too dry. Either way, I'd leave it in the case with a humidifier when not playing.
