What's so hard about playing an instrument with no frets? you stick white tape under the strings where the frets would be and it's that simple. :amaze:

I hate to say it but consider yourself a genius/ver lucky/insane natural ability.

And wallow in the glory of your peers!

I don't really want to get into why you'd hate to think that I'm a genius or lucky, but uh.. thanks?

...No?

...yah?

I have heard it can take ages and ages to get a remotely pleasant bow tone.

It helps to have a good teacher, and a good bow as well :p

Sure, but Ben was asking if he could teach himself the basics.
Which is nigh on impossible.

indeed^

i tried once :upset:

I was just talking about the Bow tone...

Well if you have a painful tone the left hand doesn't matter.

Sure, But it's not like it's impossible to craft a bearable tone.

But without any instruction it seems like it would be pretty hard. It is [I]possible[/I] to teach yourself upright, that doesn't change the fact that with a teacher you are a lot less likely to kill your wrist.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;14403704]You *still* have the Mod?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I sort of decided to keep it, pain and all. At least until I find or build myself something better.

[QUOTE=Polyamarous]Damn you Texas.[/QUOTE]

Damn it, indeed.

I just put one of my workbenches together... time for round two. It's a pain in the *** in this heat.

I'm not going to say that a teacher isn't a smart idea. I'm just saying it is possible to get along without one. It would certainly go alot smoother with one though.

On another note, am I counting wrong or is Birdland in 3/4?

It's in 4/4 is it not?

i think it is^

[QUOTE=Ting;14404334]It's in 4/4 is it not?[/QUOTE]

It sounded like it could've been in 3/4 to me. *shrug*

I guess the beginning has a weird feel

[QUOTE=Ting;14404363]I guess the beginning has a weird feel[/QUOTE]

Yeah the beginning's what got me.

Isn't it mostly triplets in 4/4? Or is that teen town?

lowsound

I think that's Teen Town.

In my civics class we have to make a political party and my partner and I made the PFM party. (Pure F[U]u[/U]cking Metal Party...yes only as a joke, the class is stupid anyways) and our slogan is: "Music is like a box of chocolates, you get rid of the wrappers"

Pffbt. Ya'll have no faith in my musical ability.

Hey team
