      So I've been taking piano lessons.

      Forgive the voice; I was pretty nervous. I haven't done anything like that before, and it gets way too quiet in the middle.

      There are mistakes too, of course, and it's just the beginning, but:

      YouTube - Imagine (cover, just the beginning, beginner)

      DO YOUR WORST.

      That was not bad.... All you need is a little bit more practice.

      Do it again and sing louder, please! The more air you get goin', the easier it is to go with the flow.

      Encore! Encore! Hehehe. Good job :)

      Re: So I've been taking piano lessons.

      Shit, after reading your writing at the start I was expecting a God awful mess, but that was pretty damn god! How long have you been playing?

      I wanna learn the piano so I was going to buy a key board and work my way up. In your personal opinion, would this be a good way to start or would you recommend lessons?

      Re: So I've been taking piano lessons.

      SInce I bought a keyboard once with the same idea, I feel as though I'm an expert on how NOT to do it.


      My expert advice: Get lessons.

      Did you just give up or did it not (for lack of a better expression) teach you in the way you had hoped?

      Both. But the latter half, before the first half.

      Thanks :).

      I'll sing louder next time. I also agree with Polar Bear: Get lessons. There's a lot that a good pianist can teach you that you'll never find in instruction books.

      Re: So I've been taking piano lessons.

      That actually wasn't bad at all, Dunamis. Piano is a lot harder than most people think. Your left and right hands are operating at differing intervals (especially in a song like that). Add in the vocalizing at the same time and it's definitely no easy feat. Good job.

      Re: So I've been taking piano lessons.

      It's seems as you should relax more in regards to the piano playing as well, since it sounded a bit static. It's a pretty fragile song so try to be more gentle. Still, much better than anything I could do, so I hope to hear more from your process of getting better =)

      I really regret quitting the piano lessons when I was 10, what a silly boy I was.

      Thanks, Scabby. I know that I need to relax a bit, and all this feedback is certainly helping.

      Re: So I've been taking piano lessons.

      dunamis,

      you actually have quite a passable voice...and only seemed to falter when you missed up a little on the accompaniment.

      ps. good work on the high note, hotshot.

      as for your buddy nathan...

      the piano sound was massively tinny (cause the camera was on it), but his voice is really nice.

      I really see no difference between the two of you other than confidence and experience.

      will you sign my boobies?

      Haha. I am always happy to sign any breasts thrust in my direction.

      I got a much, much better recording, this time of the whole song. I'll upload it sometime tomorrow night.

      I thought the piano playing was lovely. I about puked, but it's the thought that counts right?
