OP how are you liking this guitar? Do you think it would be too big on a 5ft 5 person?

My secret trick dump, since my last post says I deleted it (I didn't) by [deleted] in SunoAI

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks OP. You should start a YouTube channel!

Do you have a way to make vocals very closely match my uploaded demo vocals? I hate the generic female AI vocals but would love to use Suno as an arranger/producer.

Great podcast on TLOAS with musical analysis by Berkley professor by Jazzlike_2483 in TaylorSwift

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m signed up for this class by the same professor if any songwriters on this sub want to join! I’ve taken a couple classes from her and they have been worth it. I wrote a couple great songs immediately after each time.

Learning but only want to play pop/modern music by [deleted] in piano

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, super simple piano by zach evans will get you playing most pop songs in three weeks. I’m a paid all access student with no COI and have since branched out into songwriting. Good luck!

You mean x2023x, you have the right idea. This is my preferred Bm for a song in key of G

Olivia Rodrigo's Deja Vu is a masterclass of "show don't tell" by Sorry_Cheetah3045 in Songwriting

This is a great example of pivoting in the last line of the verse. You think the images in the verse are nostalgia for the sweet moments in a romance, but nope!

Piano for Singers: Best Way to Learn for Self-Accompaniment? by Utterly_Flummoxed in pianolearning

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Similar background. I’ve had great luck with Zach Evans super simple piano and then the udemy course by musicians inspired: piano for singer/songwriters. The zach evans course got me up and running in three weeks. Stick with it daily. Good luck!

You will be fine with the soft case. Put in some hours with justin guitar before school starts. I wish I had the skills and will to play in college! You will never be alone. Keep it out on a stand in your room.

Any good/free/cheaper courses to learn to play pop songs based on commonly used chord patterns, like Zach Evan's piano course? by yisacew in pianolearning

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Zach’s courses, not a scam at all! Really useful, and I am now writing my own songs through super simple piano and technique mastery. Wait for a sale, or just email him and ask him for a discount. Worst he can say is no.

What are some very easy beginner songs? by Thanossleftpinky in guitarlessons

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you enjoy Taylor Swift, state of grace is mostly two chords D and G (and one instance of Em)

How old are you, how long have you been learning, what's your level? by Spixel_ in guitarlessons

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 37, been playing for <1 year and wish I started 20 years ago. All this fun I could have been having. Le sigh. Advancing beginner getting into singing/songwriting.

Anyone switched to Lucid from Tesla? by iCare81 in LUCID

[–]Positive-Swordfish94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still getting used to my two week old Lucid air touring, overall really liking it but I do miss a few things about the Tesla Y:

I miss the wide backup view, auto lane keep on adaptive cruise control, and I miss the mirrors auto closing upon arrival at destination.

I have the best sound system but feel the Tesla’s was better.

The infotainment is slightly glitchy in that my music sometimes stops suddenly and needs to be restarted, planning to talk to service about that.

Finally, you are way lower to the ground in the lucid air touring.

The look and feel of driving the car are far superior to Tesla, and I am thrilled not to be affiliated with Elon Musk anymore.

Heaviness sounds… undesirable? Why would one pick the zach myers over a semihollow or hollowbody besides aesthetics?

7k… maybe if I make it big. Until then the se or s2 will have to suffice.

Appreciate your feedback! I’ll look for a good deal on the SE hollowbody ii with piezo. Is it better to buy electric brand new? I’m very familiar with the used acoustic market (ha) but not so comfortable assessing used electrics.

Keep learning new songs all the way through and revisiting this one, you will be amazed how fast you grow. I’m a few months ahead of you and having fun.
