Its all subjective. I personally find Britney's music boring as hell, but she seems to think it has a whole heap of artistic merit. You could say that some songs are repetitive, but whether they are actually 'boring' comes down to what you like as an individual. I do think its safe to say...

Cheesy stuff My ideas kinda come a bit more from a painter's perspective than a musical one (I'm a learner guitarist who hasn't attempted much in the way of song writing at this time)...but I figure that if you're in a rut you need to try something a little different, and you never know what...

WATYF, I have to agree with you on the Coldplay thing too. When that 'Yellow' song of theirs came out I wasn't sure if they would have any other good stuff coming. The more I hear, the more I like them.

Jesus...that skank really just confirms that the only things required to be a successful 'musician' (I use that term loosely) these days is a good rack and a well selected skimpy wardrobe. Like anyone would take her thoughts on music seriously anyway...they probably just asked the question to...

Start your homework earlier dammit! These kinda sound like questions that you can answer YOURSELF after doing some RESEARCH...and since when do you ask people to help you and say "Oh I need it done by tomorrow"...??? Geeeez! Have a dig around the college sites, I don't know anything about the...

Heh...I'll keep practising and just wait for my hands to mutate into stretchier, faster ones. I think I'm gonna look funny with E.T. hands though cause I'm only 5'4". It will be a great day when I can make my chord transitions snappier and smoother and actually put some energy into what I'm...

HA HA! E.T. FINGERS!!! HA HA HA HA HA... :D

Cool thread! Tool's lyrics are great, I also like Ani DiFranco's stuff. Her earlier music is kinda of the 'angry girl' genre, but her later stuff is a bit less pissed off (she's coming to Calgary soon...Yay!).

Actually I'm Australian (just living in the big freezer that is Canuck country) :p which I think is even worse for bad english usage!

I was just reading Toker's post about luck being a huge factor in whether a band makes it or not and wanted to add my two cents worth... While I think luck comes into it to some degree, without passion you couldn't make it through the tough times and want to continue playing regardless of...

Ha ha Garry! Good thing you didn't start groping her (er, him) or something! Moskus, I've read a few of your posts lately and I didn't really notice that english isn't your first language. If you want to hear bad english, we had a box at home that a teapot had been in, on it it said...

I have been persevering with this guitar mainly cause I figure that if I can eventually master this one then hopefully it might make me more adaptable when it comes to playing others (I also have a stubborn streak :D ) My hands are pretty small but fortunately my fingers aren't too sausagey so...

Thanks Thanks for all the tips guys :) I'll perservere some more and try out some of your suggestions. I'm sure there are other girls with the same problem out there, and luckily I don't have long fingernails to contend with. I don't think it will be a problem once I practice some more and...

Grrr... This is more of a vent than anything else :D I'm trying to learn to play guitar and my hands are about the same size as that of a circus midget. While my fingers are gradually becoming less sore with more practice, I'm having problems trying to stretch my fingers across the frets...

I think pinning any kind of rules onto a creative process of any sort is a hindrance. Who cares how it happens if it works? Having said this though, I'm sure there are some song writers who have a more structured approach (their own 'formula') while others just sit and write. Its a purely...

I think it's a beautiful guitar. Maybe when you're not playing it you can take it on dates :D

My bestfriend has some CD's she bought in Beijing with Chinese artists singing Chinese versions of english songs. Some of them are the funniest things I've ever heard - they have video clips with them which are the best part... It's also interesting to see the difference in lyrics between the...

Jesus people, if you don't like the thread, don't read it and don't respond. I think we need to remember here that its all subjective. You can't say another person's OPINION is wrong. Its just a game now kids...quit whining :P Okay now I get to say who I hate :D ... Van Halen Eric Clapton and...

newbie guitar victim In terms of bands I would have to say guys like Tool inspire me to learn to play well. I also like stuff thats a bit more raw like Bic Runga (a New Zealand chickie), and Powderfinger who have some really catchy stuff. I don't really listen to music with just the guitar in...
