I've been trying to get used to it for almost six years now. XDD; Actually, I'm left-handed so when I first got my guitar, it was strung left-handedly (I know that's not a word but bear with me), so when I decided last year I wanted to try again for the 3434068th time, I got it restrung right-handedly. Basically, I've swapped the strings and picked it up in different periods of my life, but still haven't grasped it, haha. I'm thinking of trying again soon, though. Maybe this time will be different :D?

I also have a violin lying around that my parents got my for Christmas in 2009. I love the sound of a violin and have been dying to play forever, but... I need lessons. Bad. XD; I can't even tune it, and that's a problem haha.

I think I'll just stick to piano for now. It's pretty safe, and I love it so much. <3

Black Ice March 23rd, 2011 7:33 PM

I've been playing the piano for over a decade. My piano teacher relocated last year, though, so I've just been playing on my own. I like the freedom to practice/play whenever I want, but I'm definitely not learning at a very fast pace.

I've also wanted to make a YT account just for covers and stuff, but I have a really crappy camera. I should probably invest in one.

JeXsus™ March 23rd, 2011 7:36 PM

Is learning the piano difficult? I've been wanting to play it for awhile, but I'm not sure if it's really time consuming.

I mean I know learning any instrument is always a bit challenging. Just want to know how fast it can be picked up.

Zeffy March 23rd, 2011 7:39 PM

Its not really that hard. You just have to remember every chords. Its a bit time consuming, especially if you're not really used to stretching your palms. xD

JeXsus™ March 23rd, 2011 7:44 PM

I don't think that's a problem. xD I've been told I have piano hands, so that's what got me wanting to play haha.

Same.

I would like to actually try it out though, since I think music is much more important as a medium than physical art.

インフェルノの津波 March 23rd, 2011 8:17 PM

I think the most difficult thing for me when I first started was to make sure my left and right hands were playing the right notes at the same time. Because your hands are doing two different things at once, it could be a bit challenging at first. But it's not too bad if you work at it. :D

I'm learning Fur Elise right now and... oh god the arpeggios. :(

Misheard Whisper March 23rd, 2011 8:41 PM

I never learned to play an instrument, because music was never a big part of my life for the first twelve years or so. Also I've never been able to sing, which just kills me, because I love to sing. :(

Although it was compulsory to learn the recorder when I was at primary (elementary) school, so I did learn some of that. I can now play parts of the Sailor Moon theme song on it just for the lulz. I was actually kinda good at it at the time.

If I did start to learn an instrument now, it would be the piano. I love the sound of it - definitely my favourite instrument.

I've been playing piano since I was 5 (for almost 12 years) so I'm not sure how fast anyone can pick up playing the piano. Though it is worth it once you learn it because since I knew piano first I was easy for me to teach myself other instruments. My guess is that Piano would take longer to pick up than if you were learning guitar or drums. I personally found both guitar and drums easier to pick up and teach myself but I don't really know about picking up piano. If you had a piano teacher it'll help pick up faster.
I used to do full on classical then I moved to rock 5 years ago and after I finish my Grade 5 rock exam I'm just gonna teach myself modern music.

XD I remember Fur elise and haha I know what you mean about the arpeggios currently learning Maple Leaf Rag by Scott Joplin but it's hard and I'm so lazy to practice lol

Apart from that I taught myself how to play guitar (just over a year now) I know a bit on the drums and I used to play harmonica and glockenspiel for the school orchestra XD

Morkula March 23rd, 2011 9:17 PM

The arpeggios in Fur Elise really aren't that hard...certainly not as hard as the B section or the chromatic scale after the arpeggios. The whole piece is pretty easy though, as far as piano works go - I learned it in 7th grade.

Skip Class March 23rd, 2011 9:24 PM

I played it about 6th Grade because I found the sheet music on the floor of the music room at school (and I kinda stole it XD) I haven't played it for a while but I remember my mom made me repeat it so many times because it was her favorite piece she liked hearing me play

I never got round to playing an instrument either, which is kind of a let down because I've always liked the thought of playing the piano. I'm mostly an arty person at the end of the day and would sooner paint a landscape then have that chance to play a piano.

My friends did try to and get me to do recorder lessons back when I was 7-8 years old, but I wasn't particularly interested.

otakulily March 23rd, 2011 10:36 PM

On the other hand, I have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever, so I'd actually rather learn how to play an instrument. But I'm lazy, so yeah. If I were to seriously take up music, I'd probably choose to learn to play piano or violin or some other classy instrument.

Zet March 23rd, 2011 10:37 PM

I used to play the clarinet but it got boring fast and I've always wanted to play something like the piano or violin

Signomi March 23rd, 2011 11:38 PM

A violin would be very interesting to play, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested to do that at some point.

It looks and feels like such a melancholic instrument, I can imagine anybody who already has a passion for being a violinist really knows how to feel surging emotion as they play it.

Zet March 23rd, 2011 11:39 PM

I want to play Moonlight Sonata on piano, but I can't think of one piece I really want to play on the violin.

Spherical Ice March 24th, 2011 12:03 AM

I did take violin lessons but the circumstances sucked like hell - the classes were in a really smelly old building which I had to wait in for 30 minutes before and after, and the teacher was a prick :/

Ninja Caterpie March 24th, 2011 12:13 AM

I started playing piano... like two years ago lol. It's pretty cool, I guess.

Skip Class March 24th, 2011 12:24 AM

I don't get the whole school recorder phase. The people one year above me did it, the year bellow me did and mine didn't but it seems there were a lot of people who were made to learn to play the recorder. Kinda glad I didn't though. I'd prefer to learn flute than recorder. Violin would be cool too

Guillermo March 24th, 2011 1:50 AM

lol i haven't been here in like ten years or something. the only string instrument i've ever played other than guitar was a cello, and that sucked so bad.

Misheard Whisper March 24th, 2011 1:58 AM

Für Elise (umlauts, people!) is the single piece I would love to be able to play, even if no other. It's just so hauntingly beautiful, yet uplifting at the same time. Gorgeous music.

Zeffy March 24th, 2011 2:01 AM

I can play the guitar, piano, and the flute. Probably not going to learn any more. I'm just not in the mood for instruments right now. Maybe in the near future, though.

Hey there, good to see you here. :)

I'd love to play an instrument eventually, maybe when I have some time to myself and I'm in the mood for a little more music in my life.

Yes, the drums are great to play. I remember playing the snare drum. Well, anyone can play the snare drum really. I just got lessons. ;;

Drums? Yeah, maybe when I'm into that sort of thing. :(

Mr Cat Dog March 24th, 2011 2:53 AM

Lightweights! I've been playing the piano since I was 4 years old. In primary school, some of my friends thought I had crazy Asian parents (yes, a nice little bit of casual racism existed amongst 5-year-olds in my school) who secretly adopted me from my real parents and chained me to the piano... but I liked playing it at the time!

I still do, to some extent, but we got rid of the piano, replaced it with a keyboard, and everything just feels so different. I'll still play it now and then, but instead of a Gershwin or a Beethoven or the like, I'll normally get my book entitled 'TV Themes for Piano' and play a Murder, She Wrote or a Cheers or a Fawlty Towers or the like!

A Pixy March 24th, 2011 3:11 AM

Regeneration March 24th, 2011 6:39 AM

Same here. I've got absolutely no interest in any musical instrument. I do love singing though. =D

Lumina March 24th, 2011 6:40 AM

I prefer being outside playing.

otakulily March 24th, 2011 6:42 AM

You can play instruments outside. Probably.

Lumina March 24th, 2011 6:44 AM

Meh. I'd rather not. Instruments always bore me after a week or so.

donavannj March 24th, 2011 6:51 AM

I used to play clarinet, but I didn't keep up on my required lessons for the school band in school because I didn't wanna miss any class so I dropped it after 6th grade.

Actually, I found the chromatic scale really easy. I've just never been too great at arpeggios, haha. I do agree with you though, that overall the piece is actually pretty easy, there are just small parts that kinda trip me up a bit.

Why would you expect continuity from a Final Fantasy game without a 2 in the title? Don't they change the story slightly or more almost every time they make a new game?

Well, Final Fantasy is a series cursed with horrible titles. The series itself was never connected, but after Hironobu Sakaguchi left Square Enix cranked "***** mode" to 11 and spun plenty of sequels for the main series. Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy VII Collection, etc.

I don't really care for most of the sequels, but Tactics had a lot of potential. It was a story built around a war with the aristocracy against commoners and mercenaries after losing their jobs when the war ended, it wasn't some ordinary "SAVE THE WORLD FROM BLAND ANTAGONIST" that the Final Fantasy series seemed to love doing for so long.

Nick, if you truly love me you'll play Final Fantasy Tactics when you get the chance.

Captain Fabio March 24th, 2011 2:18 PM

I actually liked Final Fantasy XIII despite all of its flaws. The characters probably had the most depth out of any Square Enix character, especially near the end when they develop so much over that time. And the battle system is quite possibly my favorite, with V and Tactics following closely behind, despite the Auto-Battle and lack of control for other characters.

It was just poorly executed in many spots.

Saryka March 24th, 2011 2:27 PM

I loved Final Fantasy XIII's story, but I hated the actual gameplay. For most of the game, I felt like all I was doing was just walking forward and eventually I got really bored and stopped playing. Don't get me wrong - the graphics are beautiful, I loved the characters and even loved the battle system. However, being on the field ruined it a bit for me, especially since you don't get actual free reign until much, much later in the game and I'm a person who likes to explore the world a lot more than I could in this game.

Fair enough. But one of the main things I didn't like, was how long it took to get into the ACTUAL good storyline.
I just got bored and it felt like pulling teeth down those linear levels.

The linearity screwed me over because I have even more trouble with finding my direction in large games now.

However, it should be noted that almost all Final Fantasy games are like this. They're all really linear until you get an airship, go to the Great Plains, WoR, etc then you have quite a few side quests to do. XIII just took it to an extreme by making it look incredibly cramped.

I just got bored and it felt like pulling teeth down those linear levels.


Don't worry, you weren't missing out on much. The storyline could've been so much more, but the ending was just so bad that even the script forgot what was happening in the game. It was cool while it lasted I suppose, but it's annoying to see that XIII-2 will be unrelated to the story in XIII. Motomu Toriyama just sucks at executing game storylines, it's a fact.

That's very true. However, I think the difference between FFXIII and other FF games was that in FFXIII, there was pretty much no interaction with NPCs, can't enter homes, etc. No basic exploration, I guess. It just felt like being in a giant tunnel for the first ten or so chapters of the game.

I didn't think I was missing out on much! My friends said they were getting bored of it at times as well and they love FF! XD

I still think the best game was FF VIII, IMO.

Well, towns wouldn't really work in the game since the l'Cie are constantly targeted and everyone already knows what they are, but I think that was just a bad design idea overall. It's a technically magnificent, but lifeless game. I really liked the art style though, the bizarre science fiction has always been something I adored.

I sincerely hope Tetsuya Nomura wasn't scratching his ass and working with 3D Realms for 7 years, because Versus XIII seems like it could undo all of the mistakes XIII made.

How quickly your credibility went down the drain :[

Final Fantasy XIII was polarizing for most people. Many of the fans felt betrayed but I know a few people who loved XIII despite hating other Final Fantasy games.

Anywho.

The trailer for that FF looks amazing. :0

Uhhhhhhhhh, I am not with it today. Lets try that again without the typo.

I think the best game was FF VII.

YESSS <333 FFVIII is my favourite Final Fantasy game next to FFVII! I really liked the characters (except for Squall and Rinoa funny enough - I found Squall irritatingly emo up to a certain point and then really whiny afterward, and I've just never liked Rinoa), and the story was quite nice as well.

lmfao, saw your typo. XD; Well, I liked FFVII too, haha. Definitely my favourite Final Fantasy game, even now.

I agree with all of that! I think that's what was missing from the game - there was no life.

HAHA! Shame it was a typo! Sorry for getting your hopes up!


Saryka March 24th, 2011 2:58 PM

I know, I read your post and I was like, "...damn."

I swear I'm the only person who actually liked FFVIII. XD

Indeed, I heard from other people that the camera was wonky but I never saw a problem with it.

I think the best game was Final Fantasy Tactics, but that's my favorite game ever(tied with NieR, which you really should play since it's only $20 these days) so yeah.

I loved Final Fantasy VII as a kid, but I tried coming back to it and it was so horribly boring. I can still appreciate and like the game, but I'll come back to it later when I have 40+ hours to spend on a JRPG.

I enjoyed Final Fantasy VIII myself, but it was too flawed for me to say I loved it. Squall was my most hated protagonist in any Final Fantasy game now, because he was emo but he wasn't emo for a good reason. "Wah, I'm an orphan, wah, life sucks". Even Hope was less annoying than him, and he was forced to travel with the man responsible for the death of his mother.

I've never owned a Sony system past the PS1 so I haven't played any of the newer Final Fantasy games. I did enjoy Tactics, though. Probably my favorite PS1 game.

Also, I don't understand how someone could hate Squall more than Cloud. Cloud didn't even have a personality. And he's bipolar.

Skip Class March 24th, 2011 3:52 PM

Never really played Final Fantasy, I was always more into the sonic the hedgehog games. Though I did play a spinoff of Final fantasy.. Sword of Mana I think it was?

Captain Fabio March 24th, 2011 3:54 PM

Miss me?
PC died on me for like 20 minutes, but apparently for no one else. And it wasn't my Internet since I was looking at other things.

Strange...

There's really no excuse to not own the PS2. It's $100 for a new PS2 and it has some of the best third party support on the market. The first party support is pretty good too, considering Team ICO and Naughty Dog exist.

Spoiler alerts of course.

Spoiler:
Squall was a whiny emo who didn't even have a terrible life. He took every opportunity he had to moan about how his life sucked despite having a better life than a lot of FF protagonists. He was an orphan raised by Sorceress Edea and he had a lot of friends with him at the orphanage. Hell, Rinoa was used as a catalyst for Ultimecia but he never seemed to care after the whole spaceship cutscene and 'Eyes on Me' played in the background.

Cloud at least had a sense of humor. He didn't care about the planet as long as he got his money, but he developed as the story went on, going out of his way to keep Tifa safe because of a childhood promise. He became emo for a while after his loved one got murdered right in front of him by the person that he used to admire and realized that his whole life may have been fake. He never made it that far into SOLDIER and thought Zack's past was his own.

I played that as well, it was pretty cool. It wasn't really related to Final Fantasy though. It was a remake of a game labeled Final Fantasy to get more attention, and it never had any Final Fantasy-esque themes.
