Another music major here. Other folks suggesting learning some theory is good for sure, but that's quite a time investment. I'd recommend trusting your ear more than anything. If you have a little piano, just try making chords at random until it starts sounding good. I'm not a pianist and this is how I do my comps. Granted, I can analyze it afterwards, but that only helps me explain the comp to other musicians, it still sounds just as good without the theory knowledge. In terms of producing. Download a DAW (I used audacity until I got ableton) and start looking up tutorials. I can guarantee you there's a tutorial out there for any question you have about any DAW. Your productions and comps won't sound good at first, but don't be discouraged, that's a part of the process (also we tend to be more subjectively critical of our own shit). Good luck! And dm me if you want help or someone else to compose some shit for ya.

Lmao, this user isn't pretending they're an ML. Take a look at the post history. That seems to be their only post in genzedong and in other posts they refer to "progressives" from the right. Seems like they're centrist neolib type.

yes

I don't have a problem with some cultures killing and eating dogs

works now! thank you

how do i watch the video? won't play

ah thank you! I don't really agree with the reason for the ban, but it's only a one day thing, so I suppose that's appropriate.

How do I do this? I mostly only browse and am not too involved with specifics on the site. I went to the mod community, clicked modlog, and it shows nothing. What am I missing?

Soooooo, why was this user banned? For disagreeing with mods? I'm probably ill informed, but that's what this looks like on it's face. Granted there's one post on the account I can't read because it was removed

A note is a musical pitch. Upon re-reading the post I now understand why I was so confused. You were talking abstractly about the notes using A and B as placeholders, not actually referring to the notes "A" and "B" (it seems like others in the thread had this same fundamental misunderstanding). The tapping is pretty much rhythmically the same as what you sung. That being said, you're looking for a needle in a haystack here comrade. The notes I posted are what you sung tho, if that helps anyone else out who may recognize them.

I don't mean for this to come off as vibey, but in the humming example you definitely sang 6 different pitches, not the two notes you posted originally; this might be why you can't find the song anywhere. The thing is, I think you sang it correctly, because you sang it (almost) the same both times you did, and our ears and aural memory tend to be more accurate than our transcription. That being said, the melody I transcribed from your humming was - G C F#F#B EEAE EG. On the repeat you sing it slightly differently with an E C at the beginning instead of a G C. The rest of the second time I believe you sing the same pitches, their tonality just shifts a little flat (which is totally normal to do when singing from memory). Anyway, I hope this helps a little on your journey to find the song!

ohhhh, i totally misunderstood your other comment. Thank you

what podcast? what host?

This warms my heart to hear!! I'm a jazz musician and I feel as if we are often overlooked. Thanks comrade <3 Also check out Yussef Kamaal - Black Focus

what if 🤔🙈 the govt 😳 told you 😇😘 to suck 😲😲😈 a dick 🍆🍆🍆💦💦😍😩😩

No need to learn to play piano! Just try and match the piano pitch with your guitar! If you're having trouble doing the exercise from a random note, try the "from selected note" option under "interval ear training". And I don't blame you for only getting 4/15 correct, guessing out of four chord qualities (maj, min, dim, aug) can be very difficult for a beginner. When you're setting up the chord exercise I would highly recommend to limit yourself to only two qualities (maj, min), then another two (dim, min), etc. Do all the combinations of just two options and I can guarantee you will get better at distinguishing between all four being an option.

In addition to what people are saying about theory and familiarity with the instrument (very helpful things), I also like using audacity as a practice tool while learning by ear. It's a free audio editing software, and I use it to load up a song I want to learn, highlight the specific part I want to learn, and put that on a loop. This not only attunes your ears to just that portion very quickly, but it also allows you to go note by note, adding on bits each time. Another great thing to do is sing what you're going to play before you play it! We naturally match pitch very well with our voice, so associating your voice with your instrument strengthens the latter's pitch matching. And if you really wanna grind it out, you could do teoria.com ear training exercises. A piano player buddy of mine does 100 intervals a day (using the piano), and his ear is certainly getting better. At the end of the day these are just different exercises and if you keep using your ear every day, you'll get better regardless.

preach, music comrade <3

"Any good music teacher will tell you, theory first!"

Fuck no. I'm working on being a music educator and this is exactly the OPPOSITE of what you want to do. Theory is an abstraction of the sound we make from our instruments. Once you have a child familiar with that sound and the ways to make it, THEN you introduce the explanatory bullshit as to why it works. There's so many great artists out there who have never read a lick of music in their life, because it's an ABSTRACTION of the sound you hear. Goddamn the other stuff is horrible too, but this shit is so near and dear to me. (also how do i end a quote on this shit I can't figure it out)

Wtf kind of cam sex have you been having?? For me it's only been awkward and a much worse substitute for porn, much less actual sex
