This guy. XD

Any other late bloomers in music like myself who started learning music theory and such at a later age because their family could not afford instruments or lessons? I'm 21 now and I've only just this year, gotten a lot better at piano through experience and practice. I'm still not at pro level yet though. But I'm going to keep with it. Any other late bloomers in here I could chill with?

- chords -> try to find smooth progressions which are surprising somehow. Dont be repetitive as you are in the fourth chord in the left hand where you go back in the progression

- try to be more rhythmical. Augmentations, sometimes triplets in the runs, sometimes off beat over a longer sequence in the one hand while the other one plays on beat

- find a good balance of fast passages with virtuoso runs and the chord passages. If you do runs try to bring in unison runs

- use the 7th chord very often :D

- try to change quite often from monor to major and backwards

- also try to bring key changes that are interesting to vary the pieces feeling

- find lyrical themes and motifs. Bring them again several times in the composition but as variations

I will apply this to later stuff I do. Thank you.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you so much for the advice.

I'd love to.

I've just started studying jazz improv from watching various Youtube videos. Mainly pianobreaks' stuff. I would definitely appreciate any advice people could give me. Mainly from people who play piano very well.

This is a small clip of what I have learned so far: https://soundcloud.com/thedukeofjuke17/improv1

I'll try that. Thank you.

I'm not mad. You're providing your perspective. How can I get mad at you for providing a solid opinion of your own accord?

You mean that guy who destroyed the economy and made my dad lose his 20 dollar an hour job? Sure, let's see what else he can fuck up. Sorry about my temper. But there's something about the mention of his name that gets me pissed.

Anyway, nobody's going to sit on thier ass and beg you to do a paid contract with them even if your music is like supergood.
You have to rinse your social skills and you need to prove that you are socialised and well mannered individual that is more than capable to cooperate with the industry/labels. Musician is just another guy wanting a job.

Before I start this, please don't hate me for this admins. You're most likely my favorite website ever. This is just a thread for small improvements that could be done to make the website even better. Here's what I have to say below. What do other people have to say?

1: This one is a bit difficult because I know somewhat on how websites work. But a higher MB limit (if possible) would be nice in uploading things like audio that is longer than 10 minutes without having to kill the quality of your sound.

2: A preview for the icon you put in audio to see how it looks on the CD icon in the audio portal.

3: Maybe just a little more customization for your profile. Like a color changer for the tiles or a custom background.

Thank you so much for this advice. Really. I've actually learned quite a bit from this.

Mind telling me what that mobile game was? Liked to hear the tunes.

holy what shes a chick.

holy what i just realised that there are like no female electronic music makers.

but why

She's not my cup o' tea. Cool, you like her though.

I'm a religious man and I find this stupid honestly.

At 9/12/14 03:14 AM, TheAudioGuy wrote: probably pretty shit if i'm on newgrounds

True that XD. Newgrounds is actually a pretty awesome place to post music.

Honestly, if somebody wrote a song that sound somewhat similar to mine, I wouldn't be all that mad. I'd be flattered honestly. Now, if it's clear that they ripped off one of my songs, that would be a different story. I'd say changing the key of this one and changing a few things around would probably do the trick.

Really cool to see you replying to one of my posts, David. I really admire your work.

The money put towards my music rounded up is about 3,000 at least, whereas my income on the other hand is a big fat 0. What would you say your annual income is with your sound/music? And if you get a decent income, advice to people like me would surely be appreciated.

And I hope that he will.

Apologize, that is. Not tell you off. My bad on that....................................................

Hell, yeah! NG is one of the only sites I still trust.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. In other words. I've been single forever and I'm 21. Least you got to experience a girlfriend. Nice hair btw.
