Starwars Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I did. Thanks a lot LadyC, glad you liked it! Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Hurlshort Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I enjoyed it as well, very nice. I've been working on learning Tears for Fears Mad World on my acoustic guitar. I'm still pretty terrible, but I'm finally getting a bit smoother going from chord to chord. I have no idea how I'm supposed to be able to sing while playing though. That is a mystery. Guess I just need to keep practicing
Enoch Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I have no idea how I'm supposed to be able to sing while playing though. That is a mystery. Guess I just need to keep practicing Heh. As a guy who started with a wind instrument, I'm totally with you. The idea that people can successfully be simultaneously responsible for more than 1 melodic line at a time amazes me. I can plunk out chords on a piano (which is just a side-effect of knowing some jazz-based theory), but it falls apart whenever I try to play a melody or a bassline with my other hand at the same time. Anyhow, yesterday would've been the 95th birthday on one Thelonious Sphere Monk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXUDfoLyirU

Guess I just need to keep practicing Thanks a lot Hurlshot! And yeah, learning an instrument is a lot of hard work, but it's also so much fun. As far as singing and playing goes, yeah... Just practice. One thing you can try is that you just play the chords in a very simple pattern at first (just simple up and down strumming, or even just one downstroke per chord) and try to sing over that. Practicing with a metronome will also do wonders all around. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Madej Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxQBH-fYOYs These guys use interesting instrumental arrangements and writing structure; tracks are typically layered with subtle nuance and should satiate more 'nerdy' tastes. When saints are just dead sinners amended and revised, no wonder why greed and humiliation become the norms to bound and regulate mankind.

LadyCrimson Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 "Girl" sung by Davy Jones. Sometimes those simple, repeated melodic style songs still hit the spot. I'm still sad he's gone. Next up: "I Think We're Alone Now" via Tommy James & The Shondells “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
TheMufflon Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 I'm post-rocking out to the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor album: 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! Those of you who enjoy 20-minute instrumentals full of slightly-out-of-tune violins should definitely check it out.
Greymist Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 I'm into most kinds of music but Queen is my favourite band, I also love classical music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h6BGDODpFo
Roxane Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Ahh... I've got so many feel good songs in my mind but any song from Jean Leloup, one of Québec's craziest artist manage to cheer me up by the sheer insanity of his compositions. Note this is in French so be warned. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1MWgPNtYU1Y My Obsidian Order title really belongs to my cat who is cute since day one and she built her attitude around it.
AGX-17 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 This song feels like an anthem to Independent/Yes Man run Couriers in NV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pm4fQRl72k 1
Starwars Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 ^---- Queen is so awesome. Can always listen to them... it always works. Also, I hope people won't mind if I post more of my home-recorded crap in here. Check out another recording I've done of a song I've written please: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK9wXmvvnzA&feature=youtu.be Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Orogun01 Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) I can't stop...listening to this song. Edited October 22, 2012 by Orogun01 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Starwars Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Good, because that is an excellent song. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

Malcador Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Orogun01 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 ! I can't stab myself in the ears enough times I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

Starwars Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) More shameless self-advertising (maybe I should start a new thread for us home-recording superstars). Not the best recording here, this song is pretty tricky to play. But I wanted to get it up there, so.... there it is.

Enoch Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 A friend of mine loaned me the CD containing this track earlier this week, based on a hunch that I would dig it. I do. '70s Nicaraguan jazz-funk-spacemusic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xzpR2TL1m0
