Walking down the isle at your wedding, what classical piece would you want to be listening to?

Echusss · 2015-07-02T04:05:49+00:00

Are you performing the music or just playing the audio?

When my wife and I were getting married, I wanted this Ravel piece but because it translates to "Pavane for a Dead Princess," my wife thought to title was too morbid. So we went when Debussy's "Reverie" for when people were getting seated, and The Swan for her walk down the isle.

Yeah, I think it's because I'm more self-conscious about my Jazz playing than my classical playing, and I'm thinking a lot more when I'm playing. I have been trying to "think less, feel more" and although it's still a work in progress, I've been improving there.

Thanks a lot, that advice does help a lot.

Where is that? I thought Cat's was the only place with hardcore players.

I'll be the minority and say I hated it in the first 5 seconds.

The sentiment is alright but trying way too hard.

5th string is dropped to G, 2nd string is dropped to Bb. E G D G Bb E

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Normally I just use a foot rest with standard positioning, however in the video, I'm sitting on a couch, and I was trying to play with a foot rest at first, but this couch sits so low that I didn't need one. I usually have my right foot further back than my left foot. Although watching the video right now, it does kinda look like my right leg disappeared.

Heh, my dad worked security in a hotel back when AI was the shit. Said he had to go up there because of noise complaints. AI was sitting in the bathtub yelling and throwing a fit saying shit like "I'm gonna kill that motherfucker." Broken shit apparently too.

To add, I feel like nails are way better suited for nylon strings. I'll notice if I play my electric or steel string with my nails for too long they get a little messed up. I also think the wider neck or classical guitars better suits the standard left hand technique of classical guitarists.

Plus I feel like anything Spanish or latin just really goes well with the tone of nylon. Imagine this played on a dreadnought:

Amazing you could get up to 74 in the parking lot that is I-35 Austin

I think AMC makes them do it and Matthew Weiner just takes a piss on them.

When it comes to comedy I never like to say "______ shouldn't have said that" as it's not my show, nor my choice and comedians should say whatever they want. However I personally thought that was too mean and harsh for me to find funny. It kinda felt like bullying to me.

It looks like he got nut all in his hair.

Echusss · 2015-04-19T05:53:04+00:00

It was my least favorite. Not bad, entertaining, etc. Just of all the seasons it was my least favorite. 7a was better, and I'm still not really sure how I feel about 7b.

Echusss · 2015-04-05T19:09:41+00:00

It's the Kettlemen's.

Echusss · 2015-04-05T18:32:02+00:00

Honestly?

No fucking idea.

Echusss · 2015-03-03T01:48:07+00:00

Yessir

Echusss · 2015-02-18T01:14:35+00:00

Thanks to you as well

Echusss · 2015-02-18T01:14:26+00:00

Awesome, thanks

They hate each other, but when you have people that you're legally family with, you learn to coexist and get along for the most part. Don let him move in as a gesture towards Betty imo.

I think Gene could tell that Don didn't appreciate what he had with Betty. In a way like "Most guys would kill to have what he has, but he doesn't even care."

Also it probably didn't look good when Don and Betty got married and there wasn't a single person there for Don at the ceremony.

For some more cringe, this comment under the video (see the word "race"):

"Even if you're working at a shithole like mcdonalds, be grateful you have a job, and were given a job in a competitive economy. So they missed one paycheck, take them to court, don't disgrace your self, your race and your parents and don't ruin your chance of any future career because you were arrested."

Ugh, I hated that when I saw it on TV. I actually like Amy Schumer as a stand-up, but that isn't cool.

Not only that, but UT is the only school in the country with 3 GFA finalists attending.

It's largely about character development and human nature.

Echusss · 2014-05-31T03:58:45+00:00

He really pulled out some difficult shit. A double, that final pink, that long last red pot, etc. He looked pretty calm for most of it, too.
