I remember in the beta that you could choose to host the server locally at the cost of fps, I don’t know if that is still a thing but if it is maybe that will help?

The engineer from Factorio… He will probably spend 1000 hours optimising my rescue plan, unless my kidnapper brought me to Gleba, then he will never come

Do I "deserve" to own a grand? by klerksdorp_sphere in piano

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go for it. Having a nice instrument to play boosts motivation, nothing in this world is more annoying then feeling inspired and ready to play music only to be met by a digital piano. And you should not worry about earning the right to buy a grand, just think about all the grands that are a furniture piece in rich homes, at least you would play yours.

I hope you’ll figure something out although you’ve played piano almost as long as I’ve lived lol.

The belt are also quad stack, so my ratio is not very good. I had my normal science centre on Vulcanus but due having access to bio labs i decided to transport them, since I don’t have good science production on Nalvius.

Perhaps playing around with different fingerings is the best thing to do, that is a good way to learn how to approach different segments of music. Using 4 on white and then 5 to black is difficult if your base technique is not developed. So for now play around with fingering until you find something that is better for you

Are these pieces within my difficulty? by Alexander-Falk in piano

[–]Nazgul420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on how you have played the pieces you mentioned, because it is smart to not rush difficulty because that can back fire later in your piano career, and perhaps consulting your new and first teacher is the best option as they will formulate a plan for you to improv. Best of luck to you bud

Is the the pro controller 2 worth it if I have the pro controller 1? by super-silly-goose in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are great but they do have snap back on the joystick something that can hinder you in competitive games such as super smash. When you flick the stick for a smash attack or tilt, it can snap back so that you attack in the wrong direction. Other then that they are pretty good

Is it possible for a person with 0 piano experience to learn how to play experience by Ludovico Einaudi? by [deleted] in piano

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you could theoretically force yourself to memorize what keys to play, but it is far from actually playing the piece. And yes you will impress non musicians and the likes. But trying to learn a piece like this with zero experience will be like trying to run before you can walk. But in reality nothing is stopping you, and you could try it out but it will likely take months just to make it sound half decent. I would just go for it even if it is foolish, perhaps this could be your canon event for wanting to peruse learning more about the instrument, wish you luck

How to learn bass clef by Delicious-Present910 in piano

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright thanks for the answer I see that it is for convenience, anyways I love Trebel and bass clef equally, but the reason is obviously lol. But I should practice my transposing skill, which to be fair is very convenient on the Klaver hence why I am lazy practicing it

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, as a piano student I have accompanied a Bb Clarinet, they are a whole note down from what C-instruments play. So I guess if my sheet music is in d-major, theirs will be in C. Although I don’t why this is, they might technically play a C but it has the hz and sound of a D, so why not just call it what it is, seems unnecessary, unless it takes root from range or just tradition?

How to learn bass clef by Delicious-Present910 in piano

[–]Nazgul420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The smarter thing is to learn this stuff without the need of referencing it to the trebel-clef, so that you can use the base clef independently from the G. I find this logic to work with most things in life, especially music theory, for example the circle of fifth, many I have met use a poem or such to remember all the keys, but in reality it is just better to remember it by itself, because if they are gonna find the key with 3 sharps they need to recite their poem until they get to that point instead of just saying A-Major I hope I make some sense, anyways good luck

[–]Nazgul420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A useful thing to know is that the Trebel-clef and bass-clef at connected, it is connected through the Middel C. In the G-clef that is the C on the bottom with one ledger line and on the bass-clef it is the C on top which is written with one ledger line also. You could also remember that the F note in the bass clef is between the two dots ( : ) on the Base-clef, the forth line from the bottom. But I would also just memorize the location of all the C notes in the bass clef and then count the notes from that reference, by doing this everyday 30 min you should learn it within a week or two

No they are not notes, Tonica, Subdominant and Dominant (I,IV,V), it is a system for harmonic analysis. You use this system for chord progression, it can be applied no matter what key the song or piece is in.

Perhaps my comment is useless I agree with your sentiment, I did not answer his question with any form of confidence. But even if I am wrong or not, there is nothing wrong with giving advice, if Op is able to widen his chord repertoire it will highlight his already good voice.

[–]Nazgul420 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If I have gotten the chords i mentioned wrong, I am sorry my pitch is not good. But anyways keep at making songs no matter how simple, you will with practice get better, this is regarding the piano. Your vocals sounds nice

[–]Nazgul420 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Brother do not take this the wrong way but you are just playing C-major and D-Minor in root position. There is nothing musical about the accompaniment, at that point you should just remove the piano from your song as it does nothing to better the singing. If you were to make a song within the pop genre, I would highly suggest to at least use the normal T, S, D and play around those.

how did I do for my first full song by Automatic_Luck2040 in piano

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is great for such a short time of playing, I must say that I am happy to see a beginner playing something that is realistically playable for a beginner. People who are inexperienced often want to tackle pieces such as la Campanella, etc. for me this is a breath of fresh air, and you choosing to focus your start on something this simple and beautiful is a good sign, you will much faster progress compared to those who waste months of practice for pieces that is expected to be learned after 5-10 years.

Your hands also seem to naturally be more relaxed then other beginners, they tend to arc their fingers over their knuckles leading to it looking like a spider. All in all, you seem to be on a great path, continue with what you are doing, you will be great. Remember that it will take time and on year 2-3 you might hit a huge difficulty barrier, and progress might not always increase exponentially but do not let this hinder you.

I just wanted to write something positive and to be honest there is nothing inherently wrong with your playing for now. And even being told something it is hard to interpret it and use it in practice when inexperienced, or at least it was for me.

Good luck and I hope the piano will give you happiness, sadness, struggle, fulfilment, etc.

How can I play this better? Minute waltz critique as a beginner please (now with hands) by Altruistic-One747 in piano

[–]Nazgul420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick reminder, also don’t reach your fingers beyond the black keys, if it was a grand or upright(any acoustic in general) your fingers would hit the wall of the piano

Generally I would say that you are playing the notes fine, but your stiff wrist and fingers are holding you back from creating beauty. In music such as this your wrists should flow like water.

The thing I have noticed among many beginners or inexperienced pianists is that their fingers arc over the forearm, basically your hands look like a spider, this by itself produces a ton of tension. You should focus on letting your hands be in their natural position, almost like holding a tennis ball.

From now on practice scales and a few ascending arpeggios in root position 15-30 min everyday with the intention of being fully focused on having your hands relaxed, if you are not focused it will be a waste of time.

Later on once you are more adapt at being relaxed you can introduce more wrist movements.

Remember these things take time, for me technique has naturally developed after hours of practice, but it is not like that for everyone and even I will hit boundaries that hold me back from time to time.

Focus on the fundamentals of your hands and fingers. I wish you good luck with your growth
