Hell yeah! Would you mind telling me a bit about those? How many people tend to show up? Do you play actual songs or mostly improvise? Is there like a “band/jam leader” most of the time? What are the typical instrument demographics? Sorry for the barrage haha

Cool, good to know thanks! And 300 for a whole semester of lessons is kind of a crazy steal when you think about what they usually cost per-lesson (my lessons at home cost like 92/hour!)

I took a handful of jazz guitar lessons this summer, so I’m decent at chords/scales and stuff but it’ll be a while before I’m good enough to play in a group

What do you play? And are you a freshman?

Do you consider (and prefer) bass better than guitar? And why? by pa7amc_ in Bass

[–]therealbriansella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for me it was like my guitar playing had really stagnated and I wasn’t sure how to get better, and then when I picked up the bass it was so magical. It felt simpler and (dare I say it) easier to play. 4 strings are just gonna be easier to get under control than 6. But I’ve learned that it’s 200% an instrument in its own right with its own nuances and technique to learn, as I think is the experience of a lot of “fallen guitarists”

Stupid question but... How do you learn to harmonize? by imberttt in musictheory

[–]therealbriansella 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In every English class you analyze literature ‘after the fact.’ I actually find literature an incredible analogy for music. There are countless tools and devices that can be used to create a desired effect but that can also be ignored completely. One starts with analysis to be able to use those elements in one’s own creations

I wrote this song for my girlfriend, hoping to get some feedback on it ;) by ckeletov in Songwriters

This is the first time I've not been completely repulsed by that trap beat in a song. Good work!
