  1. @zarkanorf Oh yeah I almost forgot! I was going to give you an example of how my style of playing changes from the guitar to the piano! http://www.mediafire.com/?al56xyh8itqo0dg

    1. @bigponymac You were right; the guitar is very soothing in a happy way, while the piano is slightly depressing but with stronger emotion in each note.

      1. @zarkanorf Don't know why I seem to do that. And FYI I wrote that guitar part a month or so ago. The piano I made up on the spot.

        1. @bigponymac Woah, what!? The piano part sounded more like you read from a music sheet. XD

          1. @zarkanorf Nope! It was all improv! I can read music, but not fluently. Like I can't play and read at the same time.

            1. @bigponymac Wooooooooah.

              1. @zarkanorf I know right?

                1. @bigponymac So weird, bro. So weird.

            2. @bigponymac wow that was improv? I'm jealous of your musical skill :<

              1. @nutterguy My piano chops aren't all that great. Compared to my guitar playing anyway. I was just basically messing around with a chord progression and adding little fills between cord changes.

                1. @bigponymac I need to learn to play guitar so that i can think in chords instead of notes. Thats why i can't improvise well; i cant follow chord progressions.

                  1. @nutterguy The way I look at it is it's like playing a solo. Basically I just play in the scale that the rest of the song is and somehow everything fits. *shrugs*

                    1. @bigponymac oh i know, but when i hear someone say Bb I don't immediately think Bb, D, F. I have to think about it to get it right and therein lies my downfall :P

                      1. @nutterguy Sometimes you just have to feel the music. Don't think about it. Just let it go.

                        Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:20:42 UTC from web
                        1. @bigponymac I never think when playing, I don't even know half the chords I play

                          Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:22:28 UTC from web
                          1. @furyshy That's sometimes the BEST way to play.

                        2. @bigponymac That...sort of works, but I'm talking when playing a jazz head with an ensemble. Its a little more limiting then. (also i tend to be rather self-conscious)

                          Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:23:43 UTC from web
                          1. @nutterguy Well, I haven't had any experience playing in an ensemble so I'm not sure how that works.

                            Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:29:50 UTC from web
                            1. @bigponymac Its more pressure than I'd like :( Thats why I never really solo'd in jazz band.

                              Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:32:36 UTC from web
                              1. @nutterguy I see. I normally do well under pressure but not when it comes to music.

                                Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:33:51 UTC from web
                                1. @bigponymac I can play music for crowds, I just hate practicing or improvising while other people are around

                                  Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:36:51 UTC from web
                                  1. @nutterguy Same here. I LOVE playing for crowds.

                                    Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:37:50 UTC from web
                                  2. @nutterguy I like doing both although most times I'm forced to play to a crowd

                                    Thursday, 02-Jun-11 05:39:24 UTC from web
    2. @bigponymac god, i miss playing music so much after listening to that
