| Question: Should I get a steel-string acoustic guitar or an acoustic-electric guitar? Posted: 19 Aug 2016 07:14 PM PDT What's the difference between them in sound and cost? Does an acoustic-electric sound the same as a steel-string without an amp? About how much would the acoustic-electric guitar, a small amp, cables/pedals, and picks cost? Also I'm a beginner, well I want to start learning anyways... but I played the violin for 4-5 years (going to be a freshman in high school) and want to try something else. How would I get my parents to let me get my own guitar; because they wont even let me quit orchestra cuz they just bought me a $600 violin this past year. Answers ASAP would be great. Thanks! |
| Question: Do you think that I have what it takes to be a drum major? Posted: 19 Aug 2016 07:12 PM PDT It differs for every school, but one thing's for sure is that it takes a lot to be one. Some things like not keeping tempo, you can be blamed for by either being yelled at or scolded, and people WILL talk behind your back, it's a given if you obtain it and someone else thinks they're more qualified than you meaning you have to be the best. You'll also be standing in front of a huge crowd especially if you do competitions so you must not have stage fright that prohibits you from performing and at the same time you shouldn't be biased or cocky. I recall my freshman year the drum major was a woodwind, couldn't understand how heavy my Euph was or how PIT had a lot to push up that tiny hill so one thing's for sure try imagining people in your shoes since different people have different levels of pain tolerance or some people's emotions are more fragile than others. And surely you'll grow out of that shy and quiet face, after all this is your first year and people become more outgoing sometimes as the years progress. Not like being drum major you HAVE to be outgoing like talking to every single person you meet, just be friendly and likable. And really anyone can become drum major with hard work, I suggest you learn how to conduct the basic patterns starting now so your conducting could be more smooth when you try out. And maybe try developing your own style if your band only has 1 drum major. Basic 4/4 is down left right up but you should watch a video on that. And for inspiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdjWprYJpCQ This is my favorite video for a student conductor. And look for Tim Yao on ''How to be a drum major'' on youtube.

| Posted: 19 Aug 2016 03:58 PM PDT First off the Fender/Squire 15" is a loud speaker not an amp. Most likely used as an extension speaker for the JC 120, The Lyon is a POS practice amp, So lets just put that one back in the attic, The 120 however would be able to handle a Bass at lower volume, and if you also use the extension speaker so much the better, Guitar and Bass speakers are designed a bit different, But most amps today have built in speaker limiters as to protect the speakers, Only problem you have is that Roland has been building the JC 120 for 75 years now, So which generation do you have? In any case I doubt you could damage the speakers at practice volume anyway, I'd just suggest you don't try and gig with it using a Bass, Nice amp by the way, Nasty Troll of Infinite Wisdom · 2 hours ago

| Posted: 19 Aug 2016 03:21 PM PDT Ditto Danny. It's not too late to learn to play and enjoy it, nor too late to get good enough to play with other musicians, maybe form a band and get an occasional gig. If you're looking for any kind of recording contract or to gig enough for it to be a respectable primary income then yes, it's too late, and would have still been difficult if you started when you were 10. |
