Wont be participating due to Hailey spam. Otherwise I probably would have kept the thread alive
>>129761090Yup. The pedo that keeps spamming her needs to be permanently banned
>>129761127I agree but it aint me. >>129761090Maybe I shouldn't have used that OP pic, oh well whatever.
more arpeggio experimentation:D5 D#5 A#5 G5D5 D#5 A#5 G5D5 D#5 A#5 G5D5 D#5 F5 C5D5 D#5 F5 C5D5 D#5 F5 C5D5 A4 C5 G4D5 A4 C5 G4D5 A4 C5 G4G – A# – D – F G – A# – D – F G – A# – D – F
Some of those chords are cool:Cm9 Fm7 G7 Cm9Google them if you dont know what individual notes they are.other variations:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1p_e_Twcj8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtbPpfmRzME
I found the 1st chord awkward to get used to but it sounds beautiful.
>>129762366>the 1st chord awkward to get used toNo shit, it even tells you that:>For practical reasons [(missing comma) sic] the chord is played with omitted notes and/or inverted.
>>129763126I mean the shape, repeating that cycle over and over made my right hand hurt but thats good i need to get used to stretching it
>>129763979That's what I'm saying? Pianists don't normally play all five notes in root position like that.I can't even do that with my right hand and need to leave out the Eb
I still haven't received my sheet music for Jeux d'eau that I ordered last time we had this thread (._. )
>>129763979>i need to get used to stretching itThats not how it works, you will probably end up trying to force it and end up hurting your hand. Learn how to do it without strain
>>129764355Its not in YouTube or anything ChatGPT or Grok can answer? Some of tbose chatbots legit know music theory sometimes they get it wrong though but i have got lucky. They can also generate you midi files and you can put them in Synthesia to practice.
>>129764365>put them in Synthesia to practiceNo... this sounds like hell.I want a physical copy that I can set on my piano. The sheets are on imslp.org, so I do have a pdf. I just don't have a printer to print it, or a tablet to set on my piano.
>>129758416>>129759629>>129761424The fuck are you doing dude
>>129757784I wouldn't recommend that Chuan C. Chang book for beginners, it makes a bunch of strange claims right off the bat like how it will "accelerate your learning rate, by up to 1,000 times!!", no where in the book will you actually find notation to play along to, its all just a big wall of text. The Alfred books are much better for actually jumping into playing.
>>129764379You don't have a printing/photocopying shop near you?
>>129764437I'm sure I do, but I already ordered some legit copies that will come bound on larger-than-typical-letter-sized paper.
>>129764403Excises to let the fingers go + conceptualizing
not bad for practicing big chords, the tempo is slowish too so i gives you time to take them on:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRKLpMSi4sk
i don't know if i should feel envy or something when i watch a jazz pianist's left hand that can stretch like C-Bb-E in a different octave to make C7 chord while their right hand is just noddling around.
>>129765728you should but keep practicing if yoiur hands are not huge you have to make it up with speed. Instruments are a big handed game, they benefit more from it but thats ok. You can still maek beautiful music. Or simply cheat and use a recording of the missing notes with the proper timing, with edition everything can be done, some keyboards have that function where you can program the other notes to ring with perfect timing as you do the harder wide chords
based but I wish i had more enzymes to crystalize the magic into sonic vibration, unironically the turth btw also playing things in reverse produces interesting arcane effects in the aether everyone should try it from time to time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gz-8BUQbaMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q57jO0C0-PI
>>129757784Do you agree >>129761250 ? (Yes)
>>129768738I agree but guitar and keys should be allies they make amazing harmony together.
>>129768738Keyboard is way easier to visualize for me. Guitar feels more expressive though

Any recommendations on apps for a tablet that can basically listen to your piano to make sure you’re doing it right?
>>129769311never looked into apps but i totally shouldi wonder if u can download synthesia for android or apple phone im sure its possible it must be

>>129769074eye prefer via purifico and the ending song. this is better for noobs to learn arpeggio and so on:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgUkRIywJMAand this is better to chord to:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n-RpYqDxUw
>>129769074Man the part in the game where that plays makes you cry. It's when Yuna (the girl the main character: Tidus, falls in love with) realizes that Tidus is at the end of the day just a concept and the product of magic just the "Pyreflies" taking shape, like a spirit with an unresolved goal so he couldn't go to the after life yet, then he starts vanishing as he tries to hug her but the hug is no longer physical, it goes through. It's a tragic love story, like falling in love with a conceptual ideal rather than something physically concrete, eventually that ideal has to vanish into the aether. I guess that was the over arching metaphor, besides defying zealot doomsday religious cults and questioning faith.
>>129769736The DEA sus2 chord and the DA chord are chords that always sound beautiful to me no matter the context, almost. They are extremely simple yet sound so shiny, like healing.
Best chord progression is G Em C D
>>129770007>G Em C Di tested it, too noisy, found it mid doesnt feel you know Holy, yes i tried playing them on the right side so they have higher pitch.something about the DA makes things sound so ethereal. Combining DA with whatever other note works well for some reason, ofc it has incompatible ones, all of them do, especially if you make it sound too crunchy instead of giving the notes a bit more spacing between them.
>>129757784I'm tryna unlock Masashi Hamauzu's style because his chords sound so ringy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHaA5TQCF-Y>wrrrrummmm >ta ta ta ta >wrrrummm>ta ta ta ta>wrrrummmFirst the chords then the crazy polyrhythms he does in his band IMERUAT, he is a man of many styles. He can play more than just NeoClassical, Pop, Techno. He can also do Jazz, Bossa Nova, etc.He is a contemporary master of masters, his daughters are very talented compositors too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDHGd4xE_D4
>>129765728Having average hands depresses the fuck out of me. I wish I would have remained ignorant.
>>129770631As long as you can reach an octave who really fucking cares. There are tons of amazing women pianist and they all have small hands.
>>129770652The only female pianist I care to listen to is Argerich... and this one slavic girl whose name I can't remember (not the famous horse-faced one).
>>129770683Well I guess you are out of luck, you will never be a good piano player with those baby hands
>>129770683>his one slavic girl whose name I can't rememberMina Mijovichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1htCAVefsBU...also forgot about Alicia de Larrochahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unR6coI5rgIFuck Yuja Wang.
>>129770700It's not that I won't be good; it's that I won't be as good as I could have been.
>>129770715You were never going to put in the effort regardless
>>129770631Hey dont worry about it boss. Even in gutiar being big handed is more overpowered look at the hands on this guy:https://youtu.be/aMjmjXHJoPg?si=zJY0F-MJrlRRkZWh&t=23but hey move on. whatever. use what you rolled, no use lamenting it
>>129770725>https://vocaroo.com/1encx0UxGdSiStill working on this one, but the fuck I'm not going to put in the effort.
>>129770786it aint that bad, it was entertaining to listen to your practice "doodles"
>>129770972
>>129771052yeah thats some advanced schizoprenia
>>129771062Thanks
Best chord is C E G C E
>>129770786insane work dude, surely you've got some gig time with this
>>129773211It aint tho are u a guitar guy?
best chord is x 0 0 2 3 x
whats the best way to learn a song? I follow along to online tutorial but as soong as the video ends ive alreay forgotten what to play
>>129773978well the purely muscle memory way would be to practice small parts at a time with the video and then without it. What kind of song is it though? If you don't care about the specific arrangement and know how to harmonize a melody, you really only need to remember the melody and chords.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ddUD8cltzo
>>129773978approach music in sections, music has an architecture to it, its sectional. divide it in parts and practice that part over and over until it's instinct especially if you like a particular chord and / or arpeggio so it becomes part of your style and you absorb it into your memory.Damnatio Memoriae
>>129770786>>129771052Not fucking bad, dude. Making any sense of Szymanowski is already very impressive.
Those hacks on youtube always say shit like "bro you can't play with straight fingers, you gotta curl them like you are about to claw at someones face.but then I look at actual penis and they are breaking all the rules I am being taught in tutorials. Like this guy Themanious Monk plays with straight fingers.
>>129757784Who's the kitty?
>>129774584whatever you can be fast with, curled fingers is potentially faster one uses straight fingers when doing wide chords so its both gotta master both
>>129774584Just learn proper technique, lazy ass. You're not one of the special ones like Monk.
>>129774584Ever heard of a contemporary composer named Toby Fox? Nowadays, to operate his computer, he uses a ball mouse and clicks the mouse using a foot pedal, because he destroyed his wrists so hard from never learning "proper form".
>>129774981lol, based. Toby Fox deserves it fuck that guy. He is overrated af.
>>129774981Thats bullshit, you can't destroyed your wrists from playing piano or using keyboard, you just need to take breaks when your wrists hurt
>>129775001the world revolving mogs anything you will ever compose tbqhfamalam
>>129775016Your wrists shouldn't hurt at all. If they do, even a little bit, you're doing it wrong.
>>129774651yelyah
>>129774584I'm not sure where advice like curving your fingers as if you're holding a ball comes from, which I've seen before. But I'm guessing it's to help beginners play in C, which is normally taught first and requires your fingers to be a bit more curved than playing in keys with more black keys. The fingers have a natural curve to them in their resting state though, and I don't know anyone who plays while forcing their fingers to be curved as if they're gripping something.
i want a sampler to make lofi vaporwave. should i get a SP404 or the new MPC sample?I already have a korg wavestation. DX7 and D50
>>129776404what. learn to play keys dawg. you can download synth emulators anyway, for free.
>>129776404dont be like /gg/ and buy new gear every month that you end up not even practicing with. Burning money away for nothing is not smart
>>129775016>you cant destroyedSaaar do not redeeem
>>129773305Thanks. I haven't played for anyone in over two decades. Maybe my neighbors have heard me through the walls, but that's it.>>129774239>SzymanowskiMuh nigga. Ravel's Miroirs were my gateway drug into Szymanowski's Metopy and Masques.I eventually want to go back and learn his Variations on a Polish Theme, but I remember some of the variations being extremely difficult, so I set it aside.>>129774584My teacher taught me straight finger style. She said to imagine holding an egg in the palm of your hand while keeping fingers straight. This helps you play with a precise and delicate touch where you brush the keys to increase the travel distance and give you better control over dynamics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtxynUhUqFs
