Don't have any time at the moment, but I'm saving this post to comment on what I'm sure is another amazing story.
EDIT: Oh I see, it's the AOG one, well I don't think I've read the whole thing yet. I'll comment soon. Got to go...
EDIT: So, read it. Definitely enjoyed it. I love how it's both so serious and comical.
There was only one line I couldn't make sense of:
"Hellhounds ran patrolled the mountain edges, teasing our flanks."
Just checking if that's what it's meant to be.

Wow.
I play only classical piano pieces, because I really don't like jazz, or heavy metal/rap etc.
In fact, Nylon guitar is about the only type of guitar I liked
But yeah, I love pieces such as Cavatina - a lovely piece!
And I do take lessons - to be precise, I'm studying in a music college
And you do take lessons too?
P.S. Chapter 3 is still my favourite.

Well, heavy metal/rap mostly to me are incoherent noises
I looked up the video. The sound colour is certainly interesting, combining the rich tone of the violin and slapping the strings on the guitar. I suppose the exotic 'alternative classical' colour was prescribed by the G Aeolian mode around which this piece is set in. Actually, I think it rarely modulated
. But that was a cool combination.
Classical music has many forms, although I am no real authority on this, but I can assure you that a lot of classical music since the 19th century changes tempo and pulls the speed around for effects.
(Actually, the piece above didn't change speed at all...?)
You've never heard of Cavatina by Stanley Myer?
Music college is fun?! Maybe, lol, but hours of practising a day for sure. Oh, and the music essays...
Taught yourself using those manuals?
Yeah, some people do that and that's really fine lol. My cousin taught himself also, obviously not wanting to pay >.< But yeah, sounds great
You compose too? Would love to hear them. Speaking of which, I think I actually have some compositions of mine on Youtube, somewhere lol.

I actually went on to a few other videos and tapped my hands through them lol. Still quite regular in my opinion, although he does pull them tempo a little and there are places it felt as though it had an extra beat in the bar, making the time signature irregular. That, and the usual syncopation in his pieces make the pieces quite special
Heh, I'm not a master either, an undergraduate perhaps lol. G Aeolian is not a scale, it is a mode
. A mode by definition defies all attempt to classify them as a traditional scale because they do not base on any one note. What I said was basically Aeolian mode starting on G. It can't be called a scale as such. Ah well lol.
I know. Some people call 60s music classics, whereas they're not really classical music. Just like in writing - what is classified as literature? But my poor definition for it as the Western music (Europe) written in year 1400 - 1940-ish lol!
Maybe you can learn Cavatina and play it!
Music essays often require you to read music and analyse them lol. Not as hard as English essays because you keep your opinions to yourself generally, and you're talking about facts. I was asked (in fact, made) to write a 1000 word essay on two symphonies written in Vienna in between 1750 - 1810 and compare their stylistic differences. 1000 words is nowhere near enough but I have to get it done
Oh! The rest of us here have to learn to read music!
(And no tabs)
What kind of things do you write? Only 3 pieces to me are acceptable now lol. The rest would be ripped apart by First study composers who have too much time on their hands and generally being snobbish. I probably have broken some rules and let slip a few parallel fifths and octaves, the otherwise 'grammar' of music - but who cares!
You whistle too? I can't whistle at all! But if they're tunes you liked and wrote down, maybe like me you're all for tunes?

Ah. Well if you like his music, look up "Trilogy" that’s pretty much my favorite of his songs. Also, you might check out Andy McKee, who is much the same style (check out his song "Rylynn"
.
I see. I know nothing of 'modes' or anything. I play by ear, not by any correct form. =/ I've been told repeatedly that I have perfect pitch - but once again I don't really know what that means other than that I assume people like my music (since they come back to listen more), lol.
I can't really put a definition on Classical music. It's just a style, I guess it has to do with the way your music is expressed. For instance, in rock music it is generally 'harder' and more aggressive. Classical is usually softer (though some composers might argue that), and more sequential rather than simply hitting random notes really fast...Lol.
Maybe. But I've been busy - I'm in the middle of writing a song which is my attempt at merging styles. I've been trying to write it with country (hick) tunes as well as Spanish style classical, my own style, and a slight jazz theme. So far...It's a mess. But the parts are good at least, I just have to write areas between them to put them together smoothly. =p
I guess I'll have to learn to read music if I go to college for music theory. To be honest it sounds horrid, from the way you describe that essay...Lol. But I guess we'll see how that works out. x.x
The first song I had was written in a dream - which sounds weird, but its true. I had been teaching myself chords and such, and practicing finger picking, when one night I had a dream about a blossom falling off of a tree (It sounds weird but it was cool in the dream, if you know what I mean).
