Tar (string instrument) Puns

Well, then I’d say you were a lyre.

Title.

In order to begin I assume getting a cello would be necessary. I don't like lessons, I'd rather learn on my own and from musician friends.

It's also probably bigger than me.

He was arrested for ear poll-lute-tion.

If it isn't, I'd prefer education over punishment.

Songs like:

Crown of love by arcade fire

Windowsill by arcade fire

Dashboard by modest mouse

Basically all of Pretty Odd By panic at the disco

Jesus, etc by Wilco

Not sure if this is the place to ask and I apologize if it’s not!! I’m just a little confused.

I’m trying to play ukulele and guitar and sometimes a chord calls for playing all the strings of the same fret in a bar. So when it does this, is that chord made up of the notes along that fret? and then it’s different when you “barre” it and in that case it just resets the nut to be EADGBE or GCEA wherever you barre it? any help is much appreciated!! thanks!!

I tried googling it but I’m bad with wording google searches so I got nothing lol

When I first started playing many years ago, I hated any and all "rough" sounds I would make when trying to play music - so much so that I would actually play louder to try and mask said sounds. But as I'm wrapping up my master's and really sinking my teeth into the cello suites, especially listening to all the cello recordings, I'm actually learning to love all the imperfections of playing a purely acoustic instrument and found a lot of my problems as a novice were coming from trying too hard to avoid any and all aural "blemishes". Just curious to hear the perspectives of other bassists who might've gone through this same thing.

I'm looking for idie/pop like music with some prominent Violin, Viola and Cello parts.

I've seen a couple of similar posts here and elsewhere, but they're usually more ambient or full orchestral than what I'm looking for.

Does anyone play the violin/ viola/ cello/ string bass?

I play the violin and am looking for others in the Birmingham area to play classical music with. Looking to start regular practice sessions. Potentially down the road we could play live at weddings or elsewhere.

I already noticed this a while back, when steinway and sons posted a short clip on their instagram, which just sounded off to me. To my friend, who also has some years of musical training, it sounded just normal. I later figured out, that the piano in the clip was actually a quarter tone sharp/flat. I also notice it when listening to guitars and other string instruments, but not with peoples voices or wind instruments. I also can't hear if something is played in baroque tuning (probably because it's pretty close to a semi tone)

Is this a common phenomenon? It's probably not that useful to have that ability but it's still interesting to me.

I have been looking for meetup groups that aim for this particular audience but they either don't exist (yet), and the ones that do are inactive. hopefully I can help pick things back up again and meet some awesome people. Currently awaiting enough members to start producing events. Beginners, Novices and Experts are welcome.
