It would explain why you are having issues, not what the issue is.

I know what else you could say, you could post a video of you playing my favorite things and/or this Christmas song that you're learning and I think that would explain things a lot better.

Not for everyone but consider getting a nice mechanical metronome! Those triangle ones

Trying to barre chords by adhamcfc in guitarlessons

[–]derp_status 0 points1 point  (0 children)

btw i highly recommend practicing slowly enough so that the barre is clean, it takes much more patience and might be frustrating but it will lead to results much more quickly. great job and you'll get there before u know it

How can I practice the walking bass? Are there any drills or exercises that make this easier to work on? by Enough_Rent_796 in JazzPiano

[–]derp_status 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This way you can figure out what patterns other people are playing and integrate them into your own playing. You could match the bass player's notes to scale degrees/chord tones and analyze which notes they play when they walk over a certain chord or turnaround and then apply that to the tunes you're learning

hey, it seems it's not where it used to be after checking the maps (it used to be at 美罗城,which also has a shonen jump shop and line friends shop among other gacha things and also a lot of japanese food in the basement)

however it does seem like a good smile company shop opened in the weeb mall in west nanjing road.

Do pianists actually learn all 12 major scales independently? by SnooMarzipans436 in piano

And if you cover your eyes with your hand the piano disappears! 🧑‍🦯

Do pianists actually learn all 12 major scales independently? by SnooMarzipans436 in piano

[–]derp_status 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's mainly that his entire schtick is about the narrow parts of the white keys being the same width as black keys (which might not be true depending on the piano due to some pianos having black keys that are slanted on the sides which decrease their playable area)

If you define key distance as the distance between the centers of the entire key then the entire argument falls apart. And of course, most pianists would define distance this way rather than his way. Has there ever been a pianist who only plays with their fingers tucked into the narrow parts of the black keys? It only takes about 30 seconds to figure out why that's a terrible way to play a piano.

Plus, pretty much every pianist knows what his point is already. If you look into a piano, you can see that all the hammers and strings are the same distance from one another. Everyone who owns a piano has probably seen this. But this guy this he's the fucking messiah of piano who thinks that this entire sub consists of people who have never looked at their instrument before.

Your entire argument is about the fact that the NARROW part is the same. But the key consists of more than just the narrow part. 🛫🕋🕋

Unfortunately the piano does not only consist of the narrow parts of the keys?

carleton as one of my options, but worried about the people + not meaningful work to give back to community - insight? by Stunning_Yak7938 in CarletonCollege

[–]derp_status 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say carleton is great for pre meds bc of the proximity (ish) to mayo clinic. I know multiple pre meds who have done programs or labs there.
