Tried to play a couple of pieces by ear today. Was playing from memory, in e minor so one sharp, going ok, decided to listen to get the right key. Both are actually in F minor, ffffuuu. Can no longer play a thing. :P

I'm learning a new violin piece!

I like it because it reminds me of the FF8 soundtrack (though I can't think which piece(s) off the top of my head). Obviously I don't sound like that. :( But as luck would have it, there's an Alan Chan recording to laugh at and make me feel better!

Loving that morse code at the end.

Ah it's reminding me of the motif used in balamb garden and the other themes like that.

I realised my amp could double as a speaker and now I'm enjoying blasting out paco de lucia. I figure it makes things feel extra summery. :)

*see hummingbird guitar*

"Oh that's so pretty, I'd love to get one!"

*See literally everyone on the internet has a hummingbird guitar*

"Eh... Not so keen now..."

Apparently I'm shallower than I thought. Theoretically, it being popular shouldn't put me off, but it does.

Learning (a simplified section of) this on violin:

Wanted to learn because to me it sounded like Queen! :D I guess that suggests Freddie Mercury was a Schubert fan? Will have to read around...

(Reminds me of Teo Toriatte, and prolly others which I can't remember rn. Tho apparently that was a Brian May one, so maybe he's the Schubert fan...)

Looking at classifieds for musicians near me and feeling wistful, so bringing this back (am spidermite piano nonny). Anyone wanna make music?

Tuned my violin after holiday. Wasn't careful enough; E string snapped. Replaced it. Lost my guide and I've only done it once before; screwed up a bit; wound too tight so that the bare string is wrapped round the peg a bit (not just the fabric-wound bit). Works alright but bet it breaks sooner than it should. Also it didn't come with a plastic tube thingy to protect the bridge, so I hope it's okay...

Re: Music

I think you are going to end up cutting into the bridge quite a lot. I suspect that there is a plastic tube, if you look closely. Last time I switched mine out, I thought it came without one until I searched more carefully. But E strings are super cheap: if it didn’t come with one, it’s probably worth just buying a new string.

Re: Music

Nope, no tubey thing! Am a bit surprised since these are Dominants (I don't thiiiink they're fake; I bought them from a dedicated shop-- but maybe there was a choice of tubey or non tubey and I picked the wrong thing without noticing?). Nothing on the string and nothing in the packet. :S If it was ever there, maybe it fell on the floor when I opened it... I kept my old tubey just in case, but it doesn't fit over the wound end of this string. Oh well, guess I'll order another. Always nice to have an excuse not to practice. :P

Didn't spot this subthread this time around, sorry if it's a duplicate and I'm just missing eyes.

Wondering if there are some good mashups out there.

I've been avoiding playing anything because I didn't like the idea of giving my instrument covid. I know it's silly but I just think it would be mean of me.

Oh cool, I've listened to a lot of yoko kanno + ilaria graziano songs but never realised they'd put them together as an album before:

I was wondering how long it'd be before we started getting some good folksongs from exiled creatives. I'm not usually a folk fan, but am really enjoying Elizabeth Hummel's so far.
