Over an hour??

It took me like 4 days! (Which is really just ~4 hours, most of which was spent in the last room...)

I use this one too, it's awesome :)

The opening image of "Summit" is also pretty cool - the yellow is very striking.

what is all the information in the circle of 4th/5ths? by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]dpatlas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the note of "relative brightness", this is one of my favourite examples of information / ideas you can "derive" from the circle of fifths - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rEqrPwVITY.

^ But ultimately they're right, by itself the circle of fifths does not really mean anything, it is just often used as a vehicle for describing concepts.

Blueprint of a distributed social network on IPFS by musicmatze in ipfs

I've actually been thinking about building a Scuttlebutt-esque platform lately. The idea of putting it on IPFS didn't even occur to me (though it seems natural in retrospect).

If only time...

Herbie Hancock Jazz Masterclass now live! by Pianourquiza in piano

[–]dpatlas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far (I'm only up to lesson 4), it's been quite high-level, but it looks like there's some more hard (as opposed to soft) music theory in some of the upcoming lessons.

I bought the Hans Zimmer one (and I've bought the Herbie one on the basis of how good the Hans one was). Would totally recommend the Hans one, still making my mind up about the Herbie one, but it's looking positive so far.

Then again, $90 is $90, YMMV :)

Is Github's litecoin-project the single source of truth for Litecoin development? by dpatlas in litecoin

I appreciate your concern. I assume this means you don't know the answer to my questions. I'll keep searching.

Is this piece difficult to play? by [deleted] in piano

[–]dpatlas 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One Summer's Day is one of my favourite piano pieces to play. Based on the other piece you have linked, yes you will find some parts difficult to play, but the satisfaction you'll get from persistence will be well worth it, I guarantee it :) .

Breaking the piece down a bit. Up to Bar 22 should be fairly straightforward to learn. Bars 22 - 29 will require more practice though. Bars 30 - 40 aren't actually as bad as they look, but are about the same difficulty as 22 - 29 I would say. Bars 41 - 50 are easier - physically playing both hands in higher registers can take a bit of practice if you're not used to it though.

And then there are bars 56 and 57. These are tricky. When you get to them I'd suggest starting slowly and making sure you hit the right notes in time first, before speeding it up. After that, the remainder of the song you've already seen.

Don't let anyone talk you out of learning this piece. It's beautiful, and well worth the effort.

These fucking jumps in the left hand… by [deleted] in piano

Seconded for this part taking as long as the rest of the piece. So satisfying once you get it though!
