Digital Mentor Lennie Posted August 27 Digital Mentor Share Posted August 27 I've been trying to learn guitar on and off for years now. I never managed to stick to practising regularly so I've never got past the beginner stages, but my favourite song to play is Tracy Chapman, Fast Car. It's a great song with a beautiful guitar riff 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the handpan have any sheet music to play along to or is it mainly playing by ear? 3 hours ago, Lennie said: I've been trying to learn guitar on and off for years now.

jazzy.sky Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I can play drums and ukulele, been playing electric drums for 6 years and a tenor ukulele for 7 My fav songs to play on ukulele are any songs from adventure time or Steven universe as the melodies sound so mellow and peaceful on ukulele and Rebecca sugar songs were made for ukulele so it works so well - especially when finger plucking, most of the songs have a great balance between plucking and strumming as well as tapping Peace and Love on the planet Earth, Everything stays, Time Adventure, Escapism and Just a thought are some of my favourites Also Hawaiian rollercoaster ride from Lilo and Stitch As for drums, I like to play any song that im into in that moment so this changes constantly but i do enjoy songs where theres space to add in drum fills and experiment with the beat and sounds to create a different version Sorry for the long paragraph if there's any songs you like and reccomend me to learn on either instrument (or both!) Im more than happy to give it a go 3 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve attempted to play both and enjoy both, but I’m not good as I’ve too, like @Lennie, have only played and practiced off and on :-(. But I love hearing others play both guitar and piano. 2 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the minor chords, especially A minor. How about you? Well, I've learnt something new today. I'd never heard of or seen an Ocarina before. I had to look it up and after listening to it, I think it's probably something I've heard on lots of ambient music without realising what instrument it was. It's got a nice sound 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the minor chords! I also like all of the variations of the B chords (B, Bm, B7 ect) Haha yeah, ocarina isnt all that common, i got taught on a plastic version (it looks like a shell) and it sounds so different to a proper clay ocarina - way more squeaky haha 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
