| Question: What should I do to prepare a week before my instrumental (I play clarinet) solo festival? Posted: 20 Mar 2015 08:27 PM PDT Next Saturday is ISMA Solo Festival and I'm taking my clarinet. All of teachers have said the same things: Make sure to pop your fingers down quickly for this, make sure dynamics have more contrast here and here, practice with a metronome, ect. Then they tell me to have a different person listen to me. I have cleaned up everything everyone has told me to do, so what can I do now? I bought a synthetic reed today, what it be a bad idea to use it at solo fest? One last thing: Is there such a thing as over practicing? The Dog  |
| Question: Is everything you do requires skills? Posted: 20 Mar 2015 07:33 PM PDT People can usually learn basic skills, but their aptitudes vary, so the results are going to be very inconsistent. Someone who is rhythm challenged can memorize where to move his feet to do a particular dance, but that doesn't mean he can become a good or even passable dancer. And almost anyone can memorize dialogue and learn how to deliver it while hitting marks, but that doesn't make him/her a good or even passable actor. I'm sure you've heard people declare that they can't sing. That doesn't mean they lack the physical ability to project their voices in a lilting fashion -- which would be the skill. It means they don't have the inherent musicality required to make their voices sound good when they employ the skill. And if someone is tone deaf, all the instruction in the world won't make him or her a good singer. |

| Question: Good free guitar lessons.? Posted: 20 Mar 2015 03:58 PM PDT Hey, I literally learned everything i know off of youtube. But, guitar isnt for everyone. It takes drive, and determination. You cant give up. There have been times when i was first learning where i felt like id never be able to play, but everyone goes through that. You just gotta push yourself and youll be fine. Just look up "how to play" on youtube, followed by a song or artist you like, and are familiar with. Do that enough and you start to learn different chords and techniques. Plus, you get to tell people your self taught ;) |

| Question: Problem with A-string on gutiar? Posted: 20 Mar 2015 02:52 PM PDT Are you 100% sure the open string is tuned to A? Assuming that your open A is correctly tuned (to A) there's only one way I can envision this happening. The string is hitting the first fret, even when you play it open. Basically, the first fret is too high *relative to the string*. What would cause that? Several possibilities: The first fret is lifted, (but then it should be happening on other strings too) The slot in your nut is cut too deep, or the string is adjusted waaay too low. You didn't mention what kind of guitar this is, how long it's had this problem, and if you've messed with any adjustments. If your bridge is adjustable, the "quick and dirty" solution is to raise the height of that string. It may not be the root cause, but it's the simplest non-invasive fix. I guess the other "test" you could do is to put a shim under the string in the nut slot, effectively raising the string so it clears the first fret. That would at least test my theory, although it still won't isolate the underlying cause. Your guitar is really a candidate for a good setup. This would catch any underlying problems. Have you recently gone to lighter gauge strings? Less tension on the neck could cause the neck to develop a backward bow. This would effectively lower the strings and potentially cause fret-outs like you're describing. It's really only guesswork and conjecture without being able to examine the guitar in person. Your best route is to bring it to a shop for a free estimate. Then you'll know for sure what's wrong and can decide what to do. |
