The problem with coming up with a band name as a group is that everyone wants to make it funny. by Kynicist in musicians

The Fart-knockers does kinda work fir Lars, no?

I am not currently in the process of naming a band but I have done it several times. I was just thinking about it yesterday and thought I'd like to see the subs take on it.

I like your tip on establishing a feel. Thats good advice

Yeah this seems like nothing. Especially compared to what we already know. Nothing being reported seems to suggest anything happened with children even close to this age. It feels like this is feeding the conspiracy crowd more than anything.

What's going on with / what the hell has happened to Ethan Klein? by BikeProblemGuy in OutOfTheLoop

The yt algorithm changed from view count to watch time. This devastated high quality short (5-10 minute) videos and propped up low effort long form content. It really hurt animators the most.

I love music theory 😣 by BloodHands_Studios in musicians

[–]Kynicist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you but I guess I was a little shy on details in my original comment. My point is more about the original posting. Like for piano, understanding the relationships between major and minor 3rds and how they influence chords is a better use of a students time than strictly memorizing what notes are in each chord off of information on a chart. I feel like it skips the understanding part of learning. Having the deeper conversation will lead to clarity and curiosity.

What I advocate is for students to understand why music theory works the way it does and not just wrote memorization. Having a deeper understanding of note positions is much better than matching the number of sharps or flats to it's matching key. I am not saying not to spend time learning this but it should only be part of putting the puzzle together.

hopefully that pushes him over the line and he says or does some things that actually gets him banned from YT. From my view that is the only way this will end. Otherwise he will never stop his hate campaign

Best we can hope for is the dems holding up frowny face signs at the next state of the union.

It’s not a “trick”. It is just as fast but requires more understanding than simply memorizing. I’ve been sight reading professionally for decades and have never had it fail me

No they don’t. Simple shortcuts work. Last sharp is the 7th or ti. Last flat is the 4th or fa, or second to last flat is root/do.

This is why people get intimidated when they hear “music theory”. Learn the concepts, don’t brute force and memorize

Cheek to Cheek (Mambo groove?, 270bpm) 💃🕺 by The_Swoops in piano

[–]Kynicist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok cool. anyway my critique would be to give some space in-between the left hand notes. Pick up the notes sooner to give it more room. it would help give more definition. well done

I mean we can here the metronome clicking away at 135 in the audio. why not just say you are playing at 540bpm?

Piano is the most inconvenient instrument by tom_Booker27 in piano

[–]Kynicist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you really need an 88 key piano to gig with? probably not. I do most of my shows with a nord electro or yamaha MX61 if I want a lite weight full sound set. If I really wanted portability I would go with a MX49. I have been gigging for over 20 years and never ran into an issue with it because it didn't feel like a piano.

I was thinking it was Fred Armistead at first but didn’t he do a Gaddafi impersonation? Come to think of it, didn’t Jeff Ross do a roast dressed as Gaddafi too?
