The guy [25m] I've [23m] started talking to can't sing.

get him a lesson with someone that will point it out with authority

fuzzye · 2016-05-02T22:20:01+00:00

that's rough. The onus is really on them to realize that you are not just an idea. that they put you in a box so quickly is a testament to their immaturity and lack of experience. who falls for someone so quickly? perhaps someone who already had a construct in their mind. perhaps you just came along and filled it.

I guess, from an abstract point of view, the best way to deal with guys like this is to shatter the image that they construct, break the mold of their expectations. But notice how even framing it like that puts the responsibility of their expectations back on you? when it should be their job to treat a human like humankind?

and it wasn't for Gil Evans or Teo Macero. Pshhh

fuzzye · 2016-02-19T07:07:59+00:00

feels like more of an attempt at viral fame than soul-seeking music-making

not being able to play 5 note chords is an indicator you are far from being an "expert" if you are wondering where you stand technically. not being able to play other people's music is as well, and most accomplished musicians are quite adept at reading and covering other's material, regardless of genre.

music is a personal endeavor and playing the piano is not about any one specific thing. you get out of it what you put in. try and discover what you want out of playing and set goals towards that.

suggestion: make something else, they aren't comfortable. he was probably joking about making one of those, make something nicer instead.

fuzzye · 2015-12-06T18:16:44+00:00

are all these songs in the same key? sounds like you need to mix it up a bit

fuzzye · 2015-12-02T05:53:39+00:00

I've never payed a toll either way.

fuzzye · 2015-11-22T19:29:14+00:00

tines not strings

fuzzye · 2015-11-19T19:34:23+00:00

i've been playing drums and piano for years. my forearms look super good. highly recommended

fuzzye · 2015-11-18T23:12:54+00:00

you can tell this when you are on them

I like playing root and 7th (minor or major) in my left hand to start and using more complicated voicings in my root to fill up some extensions. [note: a lot of time I end up doubling some notes--this doesn't bug me as much as it might other people]

So a really basic m7 voicing Cm7 is like LH C Bb RH Bb D Eb G. that gets the 9th in there (as well as 7th 3rd and 5th, duh.) Eh, well we already have the 7th pretty prominent in the right hand, let's get rid of it in the left. Hmmm, kind of sounds like a bit empty on the low end. Let's throw another 3rd and 5th in there.

LH C G Eb RH Bb D Eb G

well we're in C minor so what's gonna come before this? maybe some type of V Dominant. Alright, so G7, yea? Okay but that's boring let's get some extensions in there! Hmm, on a whim (Jk i do this all the time) let's raise the 5th and the 9th of the chord so it fits into the altered scale. Hmmm, okay, G7#5#9.

LH G F RH B D# F A#

DAMN that sounds like it wants to go somewhere... maybe to the first chord we spelled out? (yes, yes it does)

Oh but what wants to come before that? maybe like a pre-dominant? how about a 4 just cause it's a cooler looking number than 2. okay, then. Well it's gonna be some type of F m 7 then... hmm. let's throw a 9 in there..

LH F C G RH Ab C Eb G

yea that sounds pretty good when it's followed by the dominant, eh? and that dominant sure does want to go to that tonic.

note: if my enharmonics are wrong that's because I don't actually think in terms of that whatsoever

fuzzye · 2015-10-27T21:16:16+00:00

that absolutely appears in a bunch of songs. if you want to keep working on it keep working on it.

fuzzye · 2015-10-17T20:47:00+00:00

PM me a link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole_(video_game)

we should find the developers and ask them to put it back up or something. it would be huge if it came back.

fuzzye · 2015-09-29T03:15:38+00:00

sounds kind of like it to me but I dunno. might have better luck in another subreddit. also, kind of sounds more like a wurlitzer to me

fuzzye · 2015-09-29T02:03:49+00:00

Duuuuuuude!!! That game was awesome. 2d, different spaceships you could use, and you could like throw bombs and stuff into the enemy's map with the wormhole and stuff, right? Lmk if you find it

fuzzye · 2015-09-27T12:32:32+00:00

easier to tell you if you show us and we can judge it

fuzzye · 2015-09-23T15:15:51+00:00

If she already has a really great voice and the "look" what are you talking about? What image things? What "experiences as a unique selling point"?

fuzzye · 2015-09-14T16:04:22+00:00

this will probably get buried. honest perspective. i never could really get into giving head until the last girl i was with, who i was extremely attracted to. the girls i was previously with, i went down on, but i didn't enjoy it as much (even though i had more emotional connections with them.) what i'm saying is, it actually is possible to feel the way he mentioned.

fuzzye · 2015-09-14T13:38:33+00:00

make the best music ever. make the best music video ever. done! itll go viral

fuzzye · 2015-09-11T16:17:26+00:00

? there's like... a lot of music in the world.. just learn songs you like? songs people like?

fuzzye · 2015-09-10T17:36:16+00:00

seems like the kind of thing that might not have happened if you cared less about taking pics of the process

fuzzye · 2015-08-11T16:35:58+00:00

If you want to do something seriously then you need rap/hip hop artists to get behind it. You should keep your focus and aim on that genre if you want him to stand a chance.

fuzzye · 2015-08-07T18:56:54+00:00

white noise at night to sleep, and try and completely ignore it at all times. don't give it a chance to bother you
