The music was composed to be played on the Lyre heres the music.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdiggla Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Pretty wild. I was hoping it would be a little cooler sounding but still pretty neat until that horrible bit at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually the first person in my year to be asked to leave the compulsory recorder lessons. Even at an early age I knew what winning sounded like and I knew it wasn't played on medieval instruments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,yes, yes...but from learning how to play the recorder the natural progression is to then learn the flute and in turn the saxophone as my missus did at her school... There's nothing medieval whatsoever about the saxophone young man..I'd just call that a missed opportunity on your part to possibly have become a living breathing Jazz legend whose virtuosity I could have sampled and made a hit record out of, you ungrateful little hooligan... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Oh Dan, don't get me started on my musical instrument regret! Not recorders, they suck regardless of 'gateway instrument' status. But I did try once to learn to play guitar... after about 3 months of trying to self teach, I hit a brick wall where I really needed lessons to progress. My parents didn't oblige but they were pretty poor and they always did what they could for me and my sisters so I didn't push it further than bringing it up a couple of times and waiting to see what happened. The real kicker though is that nowadays their version of the story is that they would've paid for me to have lessons but they wanted to see how serious I really was before they shelled out... WTF, that's not how it happened! If only fate had played out differently. I could've been one of those annoying bums who randomly turns up with nothing more than a battered guitar and a song in their heart and still leaves with the bloody girl. Instead I hang out in darkened rooms with other dudes, all taking turns at some sort of twisted audio masturbation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Oh Dan, don't get me started on my musical instrument regret! I always say that it's never too late to learn.. I've just recently started teaching my mate Johnny who's 35 years old how to play the guitar and he's loving it tbh . His only real regret is that he didn't take up my offer to teach him 10 or so years ago but he's actually progressing pretty well with the basics and is now starting to string chords together and stuff. He knows he's never gonna be John McLaughlin but who cares ? My stepmother's father took up the mandolin in his early 70's because he'd wanted to learn how to play one all his life...he's 90 now, still going strong and has become pretty damn good at it over the last 20 years , so if he can do that at his age I genuinely believe that more or less anyone else can do the same if they really wanted to learn an instrument themselves.

JHouse Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Fuck the guitar, that ish will give you arthritis. I definitely respect it though, the guitar that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswift Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 You're actually much more likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome as opposed to arthritis from playing the guitar and other stringed instruments especially if you play in a professional capacity. interestingly,there's now a homeopathic product on the market called The Carpal Solution which has been used by over 50,000 people and which continues to have a 97% success rate. A surgeon who specialises in CTS recently admitted that in all honesty it could take up to a year or so to determine whether a guitarist could even play to their previous standard after invasive CTS surgery, which is why many musicians who are diagnosed with the condition in a lot of cases refuse to have the procedure which could ultimately prove to be career ending.
