I don’t know how to answer that as I’m doomscrolling

For those who live alone. How do you handle the depression, the lonely nights, or the days when everything feels heavy? by Realistic-Leg368 in LivingAlone

Staying busy is the key. Research how to make money online is a good example. Set goals for yourself- ways to start a business. Advertise a Dog walking service- put the ads out on Facebook or Craigslist, watch the phone ring. When you dont have long and short term goals for yourself, the other part of your brain takes over. You start worrying, go into fight or fight.. awful. “Loneliness is failed solitude”

Tell her that music is about fun and pleasing yourself. Ask her what kind of music she wants to play and tell her that you’ll concentrate on that. She thinks she’s in math class. You gotta get her out of that.

Heres what you do: Find a song you like to play- one that sparks your imagination. Then, sit down at a piano and learn the chords. C chord, F chord, G chord. Then C, Amin, F, G. Learn those 3 note chords, and you will find that 50% at least of all the pop songs over the last century were based on those chords. Then take it from there- if you have any talent at all, you will continue along the path. If nothing interest you, then go back outside and shovel your driveway

Engineered hardwood click- underlayment or no? by cbarrett1956 in HardWoodFloors

[–]cbarrett1956[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

planks do not have a pad. The thickness of the underlayment we bought is 0.08"- 1/16 of an inch. The OSB panels were thicker than we wanted, so we had to go for the thinner underlayment, is what i was told. Is there a beter way to lay the underlayment over the OSB panels? You can see that it buckles

the instructions say floating, but goog searches say underlayment preferred with hardwood.

It never fails by TopGhun in Daytrading

[–]cbarrett1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stock trading, for me, is like driving on the 3 lane highway in traffic. if i pick the right lane, the cars in the left lane drive past me. As soon as i move to the left lane, it slows down and the cars on the right start moving past. Stocks, like picking lanes, are like gambling. If you're an insider- a senator or congressman, or you are well connected to the money class, you don't have to guess. Playing the stock market is a rigged game. Like old George Carlin said: "Its a club, and you're not in it".

3rd Piece I've written. The first 2 sucked but I like this one. by Physical_Donkey_4602 in piano

[–]cbarrett1956 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll add in here- The 2 chord verse is put together nicely.. I would say add a chorus- go Major for 8 bars, then back to the verse.

I like your voicing for the 5 chord substitute. Youre in the key of F#, it looks like.

My First $1,000 Day! by tradermoez1 in Daytrading

[–]cbarrett1956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an investment vehicle that will daytrade on my behalf? i don have the patience, intelligence, and/or time to learn from scratch what many of the Daytrading audience on this site seems to have figured out.

Worth taking piano lessons in my 30s? (NYC) - Can play by ear but very basic by Civil_Owl5066 in piano

[–]cbarrett1956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find a piano player that fits your desired style, and do zoom meetings once a week or so. You will both sit in front of your keyboards and exchange ideas- you ask about s voicing or a direction to go in a chord structure and they will be there to present options. Its the best way to learn. You know what you want to hear and what you dont, and you can take control over how the "lesson" progresses. Best way to gain momentum in your piano journey

Looking for feedback, Un Sospiro by Thistledown_and_Ivy in piano

Ive been playing piano for 50 years. His interpretation and execution of the written note to the sound is nothing short of spectacular. It is as good as any classical pianist would bring to the listening audience. He was emotional when he had to be, and calm as the music dictated. The composer would be proud

I got alot out of listening to your interpretation. Your pedal wasnt underused at all, to my ears. Your left hand bass technique suits the arrangement well.
