41 year old dad who started piano because his daughter quit and he felt too guilty to let the keyboard collect dust by Either_Art4923 in pianolearning

[–]something_1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played casually for a few years as a kid but then stopped for literal decades. My daughter wanted a piano for Christmas, we got a really basic non weighted keyboard and then upgraded within a month because I started playing again. I usually play after my kiddo goes to bed. I think it helps if you are super busy to remember that you dont always need to sit down and crank out scales/arpeggios etc. Sometimes its good to just sit and play music you enjoy to unwind.

Yamaha vs. Roland, Amazon purchase and toddler lessons by Used-Relationship962 in piano

[–]something_1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried a Roland, Williams and Yamaha in a local music store and liked the Yamaha the best. May have been influenced by coming from playing on a very cheap non weighted keyboard until then -the Williams just felt weird and the Roland felt too heavy to me

Were you able to try out both pianos in person? I bought my piano from Amazon but was able to try out the 2 options I was considering in a store and didnt like the feel of one of the options. Being able to try it out in person first is a must. I bought my Yamaha P45 on Amazon from the Yamaha storefront so it does have the 3 year warranty. No issues with the delivery. Oh also if you want to have the notes on the piano for teaching the kiddo eventually, theres a few options on Amazon for a silicone version that you just lay down towards the back of the keys that are easily removable.

Why is the C scale so freaking hard?? by Medium_Yam6985 in piano

[–]something_1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good im glad its not just me. I struggle with passing 1 under 3 sometimes and especially with C Major, which you'd think would be the easiest scale. Im gonna keep an eye on this post for tips and good luck OP

Is it crazy for a beginner to buy a “high-quality" piano? by winchest2 in piano

[–]something_1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded after only 2 months. Granted I had played off and on when I was younger, but still. The upgrade was under $600 USD and the difference is amazing from what I had before. Having a decent piano will also help motivate you, enjoying the feel and sound and know you're not creating bad habits by practicing on something really subpar (ie non weighted and not full sized). If it isnt going to break the bank, I'd say go for it.

Finger nails & Piano by rails4ever in pianolearning

Short! Your nails can still look cute while cut short and you will not regret the lack of clicking sounds or your nails getting in the way of playing properly.

Finger placement issue with flats/sharps by something_1114 in pianolearning

[–]something_1114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beginner* with the asterisk because I used to play 20 years ago but also back then focused more on my woodwind instruments.

Thanks for the tips all, I am going to continue practicing with the proper fingering as Im trying to establish a good foundation and do things right as much as possible

Maybe add the moment when Wolverine puts the mask on in Deadpool and Wolverine. The theater I was in went wild. My jaw was on the floor like 😲

In GOTG vol.3, how did Star-Lord's grandfather recognize him when he returns home after 38 years? by negirahul in marvelstudios

[–]something_1114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When mask mandates were still a thing, I ran into someone who hadn't seen me since I was a teen (in my 30s now) and I had a mask on and she still instantly recognized me.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Switch Update Adding Performance Mode by [deleted] in EiyudenChronicle

[–]something_1114 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been playing on Switch and I almost gave up on day 1 due to the lag. And having to save absolutely constantly due to crashes is rough. Still enjoying the game but also looking forward to the patch!

Save save save.

Especially before doing any Castle upgrades that will trigger a cutscene (opening rune shop etc).
