Once in college.......but that's a different thread......NTTAWWTI figured with a last name of Skiing, you'd have some Scandinavian in you.

My dad's grandpa moved from the Maratimes through Ontario to North Dakota and then into Saskatchewan. My understanding is that he wasn't always on the right side of the law
More like petty fraud
Duh....He's Canadian.......I mean I'm no saint but that seems foreign to me.
Judy Garland was a stone cold fox.
Also Kurt Cobain was an important artist that I think history (not just pop culture) is going to remember. Like Lennon or Bach or Beethoven.
I know this is a cover but it's just beautiful and so was the whole show. What I consider to be the perfect musical performance.
Dead people thoughts...all in all is all we all are.
I also love the cover of Bowie's Man Who Sold the World
Grohl is the best
Reading music is about as hard as counting numbers, adding and multiplying. Something any 4th grader can do. You look at the note, you hit the right key. Just like typing.
Chords are another level, whether on piano or guitar. And chords with a melody line is quite a skill.
But none of that is as impressive as improvisation, or the ability to play anything without reading music. Real musicians can play anything they've ever done by memory. It's like reciting word for word every book you've ever read.
The concept of reading sheet music is easy, but the practice is difficult to me though. I spend too much time counting the lines and reciting the every good boy deserves fudge stuff to read and play at the same time. I learned the recorder in grade school like everyone else, I took guitar lessons, but always wound up memorizing the songs faster than I would actually read the sheet music. I took a piano class in college, and started to get a bit better with the sheet music thing, but lost it very quickly. Improvising (at least solos) isn't that hard for me if I can use simple scales. I don't know very many scales, but fortunately. rock doesn't need many.
Yeah. Simple strumming and easy songs don't take too long to learn. You can learn an easy 3 chord song on your first day in a couple of hours.You play guitar right Hectic? How long did it take to learn?
I had posted one video of myself playing to shut you guys up, but it doesn't seem right to drag the rest of the guys into this.And I think you've posted videos of you band. Can you pot them again or new ones?
It's pretty meh.That seems like it would be something cool to see.
That's mostly what I do now. Tabs and youtube lessons. If we had youtube when i was learning in the early 80's I might actually be good now.I just read the guitar tabs.
Other guitarists manage to do just fine learning to read sheet music, but I've never had the patience or attention span to do it right. Things like piano and saxophones are linear (low notes on one end and high notes on the other end of the instrument) it seems like it should be easier to visualize the relationship between the note on the staff to the note on the instrument. Guitar strings are individually linear, but each string starts with a different note, so it's like you're playing 6 individual instruments that each start at a different reference point. Each string is easy, but like I said, I've never had the patience to learn to do it correctly. By the time I've sorted out the notes from the sheet music, I've generally been able to memorize the song or connect the dots in my head and figure out the rest by ear.Guitar is complex, so I'd imagine it might be easier not to read the music.
