i think one of the funniest things i can do is say shit like "a bass guitar only has four strings, how hard can it be?" to justify not looking up a single tutorial ever and when someone counters this with a classic "a violin also has only four strings and is hard as fuck" i can go "right you are, but i do already know how to play a violin and that's about as complicated as it gets, so how hard can it be?"
#i mean there are A Few instruments that are just as or more complicated than a violin#but not many and the bass guitar is certainly not one of them#i think im so funny for this#like genuinely my thought process was 'its just four strings and i dont even need to hold a bow this is snickerdoodles'#and you know what. i think i'm right actually#give me a hastily written punk song and a beat and we'll figure out a base melody together to add and i can most likely just. Play That#like that would work. i am confident in my bass skills for this and i have held one in my hands Once#the hardest part is really gripping the strings. that's still painful. and also the bass i'm using is very much not mine and Too Big#not that there's much variety in this case but still#but seriously give me some more practice i can play#no need for tutorials#a biscuit's rambles

actually i'm curious so i'm gonna ask outright in case anyone knows:
i'm clueless about violins. tonight i went to a philharmonic concert. towards the end, during a long suspended note, a noticeable plume of white vapor started rising from the strings of a violin and towards the ceiling (apparently an uninentional incident. not a special effect or anything). what WAS that?
#i know something something rosin something something friction. so maybe the rosin got rubbed off during the concert??#but i thought strings and bows are mostly synthetic nowadays. plastic on plastic shouldn't create a plume of smoke right?#violins#string instruments

also ruby you are full of SHIT "i can't breathe" YOU'RE IN A DOUBLE BASS. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT IS HOLLOW. YOU CAN STICK YOUR FINGERS THROUGH THE F HOLES. THOSE THINGS ARE NOT AIR TIGHT.
#ari opinion hour#what do you MEAN i cant breathe. if you were inside a double bass i GUARANTEE you you still could breathe.#TAKE IT FROM ME. I HAVE PLAYED DOUBLE BASS.#it was probably the orchestral (bowed) string instrument i was best at out of the four#dw spoilers#the devil's chord#dw#not bonff

visual artists should be provided with free music lessons before being permitted to draw someone playing an instrument. if i have to see another anime girl soulfully playing a violin with no bridge and with the bow grasped in her entire fist i think im going to burst into tears
#🫀#ok. lying a bit. hating on instruments that were clearly drawn by ppl who dont know how they work is a hobby of mine. its fun#simplifying them is fine ofc but you can usually Tell when the artist knows whats going on vs when they dont#i dont expect everyone to render every little detail every time#but at least be careful when simplifying the stuff that makes the instrument actually sound...#and when posing a character w/ their instrument. that theyre actually playing it right#(i do get a sick kick out of illustrations w upside down mouthpieces or missing reeds or fucked up bows though)#shoutout to my friends for tolerating my distress at the morrowind lute model having more strings than tuning pegs#or the bg3 violin clearly being a viola da gamba that is being played wrong#anyway its not that deep its really not. music is just my job and i have my pet peeves. and my tumblr is where i go to hate

if ardaka learned to play an earth instrument what would he pick
Ironically, he would really like string instruments. I'm not saying he could play those given the whole Claw Situation, but he would like the sound of them.
For playing... Probably the drums, tbh. He would enjoy how much he has to mentally and physically multitask with it. It's also pretty tiring.
#OOC.#COMMS.#skxrbrand#he plucks the string of one instrument and its fucked immediately lmao#goes the way a bow and arrow did for him (it didn't)

Beth did say that scary tried to smuggle a guitar into a cello case but got caught.
I’m now wondering if she had to play cello in school because she signed up for the class and is low key getting into cello
#Don’t get me wrong playing a string instrument is hard and I’m not sure if scary is the happiest when it sounds out of tune#But i just remember when I picked up my violin for the first time and played it i was just so amazed and excited#Idk just bowing an instrument for the first time is a feeling in itself#Also I think the reason why Veronica didn’t let her play guitar was because she doesn’t have enough money to pay for lessons#So free school lessons#dndads#dungeons and daddies#dndaddies#dndads s2#dndads quest#scary marlowe

Me sitting here, editing pics in middle of the night. I listen to random music suggestions.
and what came to my mind is
If Thyjs was an instrument he surely would be a cello. Yet his favorite instrument, he likes to play, is a piano.
But I see him as a cello.
#late night thoughts#I can never listen to classical music or other soundtrack-like stuff without having this on mind#whenever there's bowed string instruments in it

finally getting back to playing violin and im having such a hard time tuning it. the tuning pegs keep sliding out of place. its always had this problem because its an old violin and i think it was broken at some point near the A string tuning peg, there's a couple cuts in the wood and i remember my Dad having to get it fixed when i first started playing it in 7th grade. its an old family heirloom. im really worried actually because im probably going to have to get a new violin at some point, preferably one that's more my level, and that shit is Expensive.
#being a violinist is so fucking expensive this is one of the reasons ive been scared abt going back to playing 🥲#i already desperately need to get my bow rehaired and i have no idea how much that is going to cost#plus costs of constantly getting strings replaced and occasional fixes to when something fucks up like the bridge#and the fact that im no longer speaking to my dad who is the one who always paid and coordinated this shit because my mom doesnt know shit#about instruments#thankfully my mom is much more financially stable now than she used to be#anyways having to go to the music store to get rosin and a strings wipe already#ill have to get their help tuning it#and ill ask if they do bow rehairs#its the most generic music store so like. its not gonna be focused on professionals but rather beginners with cheaper stuff#theres fancier places of course usually run by old men who charge ungodly amounts of money#which is totally fair like its a craft and all#but. yeah

This is Jazzdragon 14 from 2010. It was done as an art trade, and the violin was the instrument request of my trade partner. JAZZ ORCHESTRA. Yer darn tootin' imma do a Jazz orchestra. When the Brick of Inspiration hits, I think the Jazzdragon orchestra will need to be a fairly large piece featuring something that evokes the Jazz era as much as stylistically possible.
...Tch; I really need to work on some Jazzdragon ensemble drawings to prepare for the large-scale artwork. I have sketches, but 11,482 other things have crowded into my limited scope of attention.
I made this with ink, watercolor, and Prismacolor pencils. I used a photo of Itzhak Pearlman to help me with the violin.

Shout out to my fiddle/violin teacher for teaching me Shipping Up to Boston, because, as a result, most of what I hear when listening to No Happy Ending is “bosenberry strawberry strawberry, bosenberry strawberry pie, bosenberry strawberry strawberry, strawberry strawberry strawberry pie”
#the mechanisms#ouatis#no happy ending#i dont know if this is gonna make sense to anyone else#i assume that this is a normal method for teaching fiddle but i have no way of knowing#the thing is. at the end the fiddle stops but you can keep hearing it in the accordion because its just the length of the notes#and the bowing of the fiddle A determines the length of the notes but B is very parallel in sound at least to the accordion#idk if any of that made sense idk shit about the accordion#and i used the term ‘fiddle’ throughout here because a fiddle is typically a violin. but afaiaa nastya played a viola.#now the black one they had that didnt have a hollow body (and thus i think is electric. but again idk shit) has five strings which means-#its *both* a viola and violin. usually these combo instruments have a viola body because the lowest string needs the larger body to sound-#good basically. and the highest string can resonate well in the larger body. whereas as the sound of the highest string is great in the-#small body of the violin but the lowest one gets fucked up. however since that instrument doesnt have a hollow body i have no idea how that-#affects it. my assumption would be that even in this form the viola size is more common. since it is in the typical form. and that since-#viola is what nastya played anyway thats what they would have wanted#all of that is to say that i dont know which instrument they were using for performances or the recording of ouatis. but either way.-#fiddles are typically violins and it my understanding that nastya played a viola. therefore i just said fiddle instead of violin or viola-#wow! over explaining my beloved /j#gonna just state again that idk SHIT about the accordion and thats what i think im hearing but i could be wrong

what's a really unfortunate discovery in my life in the last two years is that my boss told me i was racing against my beeper counting seconds last year and confiscated it (secret skill unlocked: can count to fifteen seconds in your head with extreme accuracy) and i'm like he cannot be for real with this, how do you Race Time. and then i play guitar against a metronome and You'll Never Fucking Guess What My Fatal Flaw Is
#'roo are you subconciously racing the metronome' YES I AM AND I'M BAFFLED#HOW did this man watch a horse gallop through a pair of binoculars and know that i am locked in mortal combat with the passage of time#truly insane#anyway we're uh. gonna get better at yknow. letting beats pass.#i think as with horse riding i play music more accurately without the metronome#or possibly i just do whatever i like#i distinctly remember my violin teacher never being able to change the way the uhhhhhh what do you call ems#the one concerto i had i just decided how it sounded and that's how it was and were my notes all a consistent length? pfff no#it sounds good though#oh that's the other thing i never got to do like level testing or whatever for any instrument ever?#but i randomly found out last year that i was at least like intermediate like halfway through the levels or whatever for violin?#false advertising i keep telling people i learnt nothing in eight years#but also can i technically pull off a 3 page concerto? yes. do my hands shake so much my bow sometimes jumps on the strings? yes.#anyway this seemed like a funny story for the masses#get to know you time with roo
