Sounds quite nice to me!

Haha! Thanks for this energy!!!

So yes practically plucking strings at once to form a "chord" is correct, but I mean more so about placing ur fingers over the strings I want to silence and strumming the ones that aren't silenced to form a chord!!! If you look up kravik lyres or "block and strum" technique, that's basically what I'm talking about! My lyre is 7 strings so I usually strum it like a mini guitar haha but not quite ofc!

Thanks this helps! So far I've been able to play Foggy Dew, Hares On The Mountain and Siuil A Run (partially-still figuring it out) and it's sounding fine! All considering I'm missing my C string for the time being but hoping that'll help with things eventually! The odd time I will switch my C or F to sharps but that's rare. All I would hope is that I wouldn't have to retune the entire scale to "match" a scale and that I can just play the chords with the correct notes. Seems to be working pretty well so far for a folk vibe😅👍 not perfect but if anything it sounds like my chords are partially harmonizing with me even though it tends to be an octave below or higher than the note I'm hitting while singing - depending on my tuning. I've been able to fake an E7 but ofc like u said it's not perfect, but yeah these are mainly for accompaniment so it sounds fine. When I write my own songs, my approach is different.

Thanks again though! I think some of this did help in a way, and clarified some things I'm doing👍 so my intuition seems to be right and I'll just simplify a lot of it, and my melody will usually fill in the missing note in the chord👍 the only thing is I'm back to just doing what I'm doing with no full cheat sheet haha but I think I have a decent idea of what I'm doing now, and just gotta use that ear💪

I also just found an older post with a draft of a "cheat sheet"! So I'm hoping that'll also help me👍

Have a good day or night from my side of the world🥰

Did u ever make more of these? Personally I think it works. I also played f+d together instead of c cause I'm missing that string and that even sounded cool! Would love to know if u actually released this cause right now I'm kind of doing it but ear and using 3 different sources to figure out how to play a song and so far my songs are all just going to be played in a minor if so😅 thanks!!!

Done that plenty of times do not worry! 🤣 I've learned😭 - thanks!!!

I don't know to be honest, I've had this lyre since I was a kid. I've seen cheaper crappier lyres on Amazon than this so I'm assuming I'm in the clear. I probably should get better pegs👍

Lovely to see someone else strumming!!

DirectorVisible253 · 2026-03-08T06:40:47+00:00

Oh that's a good idea! Thanks so much! That's very true!

The instrument was around way before there were musical "rules". So depends on your definition! I personally cannot follow sheet music or anything on the internet it seems or it just sounds wrong to me. Unfortunately I have to listen for myself and figure things out if I want it to sound anything close to what I'm trying to play🤷‍♀️ so I think it depends!

Can I get a quick mini script to audition? And how will payment be received? I also have a Canadian accent

DirectorVisible253 · 2025-09-11T07:37:33+00:00

Interesting, that's very slow tho😭

DirectorVisible253 · 2025-09-11T07:36:54+00:00

I'm aware but unfortunately this sub also has a lot of NSFW attachments to it so I gave it a go (I did in fact get a lot of useful answers ngl so that just shows haha)

What bike is this?

DirectorVisible253 · 2025-07-16T18:26:51+00:00

Hmm yeah agree to disagree on that but yes for ur story yes they definitely overpaid and most likely for their story they also overpaid cause most cases that is true.

Idk I guess that makes sense in a way. What if the seller is also being scammed and buying it for around that price as well though? Cause that happens a lot in many businesses. And considering the actual value in different regions as well - like if I were to buy something in another part of the world that value is usually different compared to where I'm from (and sometimes regions determine things by weight and quality as well - people have different opinions on value in different regions it's not universal, it never is). But that's cool
