tune

sorry I talk to much about this stuff

I just realized I spelled "too" wrong and now I want to fucking die, why am I so dumb

you haven't reached peak levels of stupidity until you've smacked yourself in the face with your instrument after a stupid idea

I'm halfway tempted to just lay flat on my back and play lmao

That can be fun sometimes tbh
but not very convenient when it comes to practicing

I lowkey like to do it bc that's how Kane plays like most of my smile is extinct in the video lmao

Yeah I just do that with my uke sometimes because I'm super fucking lazy and don't like sitting up
but I could never do that comfortably with my guitar

yeah maybe I'm just weird enough to like playing guitar like that lol

on another note save me I've started looking at ukes and my inner gay is screaming at me to buy one

Inner gay??

it's like the smaller, more condensed gay within me

and it's yelling at me for a uke but I'm broke and I'd never get to take it to sweden

lmao what does gay have to do with ukulele

have you not noticed that ukes are like…the gay instrument

the instrument of the gays

No… they're not? It's just a regular instrument??

wow what the fuck I fell asleep and ig pre-coffee nap me was having issues lmao

wym?

I fell asleep for like an hour and my brain factory reset so I totally forgot I even said anything on this chat lmao I don't even know what I was talking about

Oh lol yeah that's happened to me before

okay so bumping this to say that the truth about the moon by jack feldman is a hella fun song to play but i had to hand-write the thing for and it goddamn it was hard so if yall ever wanna try it i can post it here tomorrow maybe since its on my other google account that i can't get in to on this computer so i have to share it with my other google account

whoops I accidentally fell in love with the uke and bought a luna one just now

I got one with a wave design and honestly it's so pretty, I can't wait for it to arrive :>

so like technically i own and play both, but by "play" i mean very limited to a couple of songs that i've mostly forgotten due to the fact that i haven't practiced them in a while……..but hi

I'm finally starting to learn the one thing I've been afraid for the past 5 years (or 6? or 4? idk I have no sense of time anymore)
Sheet music
it sucks
and I hate it
but I'm teaching myself how to read it so that's probably good
also the circle of 5ths is very helpful

I actually like sheet music better bc it was how I learned to play music first

I fucking hate it so much
My stupid brain remembers music through numbers, not symbols, it's all so confusing and I hate it

Yeahhh, that’s one of the issues with sheet music. Guitar sheet music in particular is confusing as fuck

I thought all sheet music was the same? It's just the way it's written that might tell you what instrument it is?

It is, but guitar music is mostly just chords. If you're playing lead guitar, then it's just regular music with a few harmonies here and there depending on what you're playing. It's like piano music, just without the pedal.

Yeah, that's what I meant. You can usually tell by looking at it what instrument it is, but chords can be found in a lot of instruments (even violins… kinda)

I mean, technically there are some pedals for guitar, but those aren't used unless you have an electric or want to do something silly. There is such thing as a Hatsune Miku pedal, it does exactly what you think it does.

…I have no idea what that would do

It makes the guitar sound like that blue-haired Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku.

how is that possible?
