[Cerebral Labyrinth]

I just saw this thread

I play piano, here's some of what I did on :



I'm happy to try help anyone attempting to learn piano, though to me it's key to take lessons, take theory, and build a solid foundation on principles & technique (which can take years).

Oh shyt
@Cerebral Labyrinth you nice breh.

I'm hesitant to post this shoddy recording I just did of myself
Lemme go re-record this.
Can't let this thread die.
Brehs
Get at any experienced posters in this thread I wanna see it grow.

I played saxophone in middle school. It used to be my dad's and I got it back when I went home for Christmas. It's old and completely out of tune right now. But it's a novelty and I want to get it fixed and fine tuned so eventually I can hop back on it. My pops also put me on those little keyboard lessons that you can do hook up to the computer when I was younger. I forgot a lot of shyt, but I bought a new keyboard on black Friday and I've been fukking with that constantly lately. Getting my skill back up

I also got a guitar for my birthday, it was one of those relatively cheap Best Buy ones. I think my fingers are too big for the chords right now though and I need to get another one....

Right now I'm trying to get this piano right and it's coming along pretty nice.

Can't wait to hear some recordings of you

Check the tracklist and see if there's stuff you like. If there isn't by and large you won't be enjoying much of what you're learning, and as a result, it won't help much and learning guitar songs is just as much of a chore than without it.

Or get it when it's on sale otherwise.

It did bring me around to listening to metal music tho, especially the Deftones

But now I really want an 8 string guitar

I heard Ibanez is nice with the extended range guitars and they've got
a more consumer friendly line than their premium models :

Also feel free to post any links to Tabs or Sheet Music for the brehs to consume

Don't want this thread to die so I figure as the thread starter, I should contribute.
Both links are just me playing something I came up with.
I'll probably add more as I progress, don't be afraid to throw something up !

 

[Cerebral Labyrinth]

I like that guitar, keep it up. Let's make things interesting @Insensitive , give me a song to play. Preferably something hip hop or popular, but really you can say anything. I'll see what I can come up with from it.

Some Acapella i did

Forgot to quote you and name a song my bad.

How about :
Growing apart (To get closer) f. Jhene Aiko - Kendrick Lamar

I wonder - Kanye West


Hopefully we can keep this thread going

Clean it up a little bit and it wouldn't be too bad all jokes aside.

So fast breh.
I'm assuming you did a lot of ear training to able to pick apart
songs this quickly.
Any training regiments you can offer up ?

I actually think it's genetic. I spent much more time practicing sight-reading as I was horrible at it (and still am) - but very little time ear training.

Not sure how to train it - I tend to think in chord progressions most often, so I think focusing on recognizing chords & key signatures helps to get down the foundations of a piece.

 

[PlainSight]

As a fellow pianist, I laud this - this is brilliant

I used to play by ear a lot too, but I got sloppy and never practiced . Been getting lessons and only recently getting back to the level I used to be at.

I'm more the opposite, I can generally read chords/notes and work out the rhythm
but I can't pick out an individual chord from a song at all.
I'm hoping to get to a high level of sight reading so I'm working through guitar books
that feature a lot of notation over tabs.
I like what you said about recognizing chords, thinking in chord progressions and key signatures, I'm planning to start drilling chords and scales soon myself. I mean I know how to construct but I haven't truly sat down and done it day in and day out on a keyboard.

Thanks for contributing to the thread by the way.

Hey guys. I'm DrHook94, producer name Tridactyl. I play the FL studio nowadays, but I took basic piano in college and played the saxophone for two and a half years in middle and highschool (marched baritone sax represent). I've been producing off and on for a couple of years but just started taking it real seriously in the past month or so.

This is probably my best beat. It landed me a future spot on AuxCordCentral's Up'N'Coming segment. I've also got a collab with a rapper, reddit user Chriscryme, on this beat on my SC and some other collabs and beats if you're interested in my work.

 

[Insensitive]

Been a minute since I replied.
I've been practicing and learning a lot in my free time.
Still don't know if I'm up to an appreciable level on the guitar but I figure I'd up a little
of my noodling around on the guitar.

A dope song idea -


Just playing around with minor blues scale in the Key of C if memory serves me correctly -


Where y'all at brehs ?
Am I the only one sticking to this ?

That's what's up.
I've been meaning to ask, did you write all the parts for your players ?
