Nier Shadowlord White Note Remix
The more you play the more you would hate it
Even the most comfy songs will sound bad
>>289277947
literally what?
>>289278225
thats how i feel about all songs and everything in life
its good to continually seek new material
Cohen's Masterpiece
>>289277568

Works on keyboard pretty well too.
Hard Man from Megaman 3, fun tune to play

Know what's actually good?
Learn to make songs yourself.
How do I git gud at Piano? Aside from the obvious practice and just keep playing, is there anything specifically I should be trying to do or learn?
>>289279438
yeah but that gets boring too done enough
you need fresh creativity so I dont always force myself or practice improv or composition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az8ztbv3XMM
>>289279621
No, you pretty much just answered your question. Well, I mean, learning to play by just listening to something is a pretty good skill. You know, connecting a note being played to what the actual note is. You hear a chord and you are able to hear that its a G Major chord or something like that.
>>289279674
.. That's literally making new music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFfybn_W8Ak
obviously
this or you are a massive pussy
>>289279674
Doesn't really matter if it's "overdone" if you enjoy creating.
If you need ideas, here's my tip:
Find something that you really like but that there isn't enough in the world.
Start doing that yourself.
This is easier the more obscure the music you're into is.
>>289279438
>what is practice
inner creativity is great, but sometimes it can be stoked by learning the ins and outs of other's creations
>>289279986
there is only so much you can do with music
its never really new, its all remix again and again
>>289280079
Do people seriously believe this cuck shit?
Real music not songs from toys
>>289280048
>learning to play electronic arrangements
I love making stuff like this but it would never sound right played on a piano, there are too many effects and different instrument sounds at play. It's more of a studio piece than something you'd actually learn to play
>>289280074
True.
God, I wish I never stopped playing piano, but I kinda started too late.
Video game music was the first thing I tried too, I had found some sheet music for Final Fantasy 7 and 8.
>>289280163
do people seriously make this bad of an argument?
fuck your memes
>>289277568
un owen was her
>>289280303
What argument? People use notes, therefore everything sounds the same?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgxs785sqjw
Not too complex, should be easy enough. The timing of this music was just brilliant, fitted the bossfights perfectly. Good synths.
>>289280301
It's never too late anon, I'm 26 and I'm still no virtuoso
All that really matters is
1. Having music ideas and
2. Being half-way able to string them together into something you can practice
Even if you just learn other people's shit until you feel confident enough to come up with yourself there's no shame in that. Most musicians are self-taught including some of the most successful ones ever.
>>289280048
That might sound good if you had a guitarist for the electronic bassline, but for piano, that's plain too much.
>>289280403
I said nothing sounds new since its all coming from the same roots
remix doesnt mean everything is the same
>>289280163
He's right though anon
There are only so many original ideas, especially if we're getting specific as ideas that others would be interested in hearing
There's a reason so many hit songs share the same chord progression, because most music is the same shit over and over and people like it that way
However he's wrong to take the next step of saying there's no point in making music
I'm learning Godot's Theme and Megaman 3 ending on the sax. Fucking perfect in theory, except I have a cheap-ass alto that can barely play a B below the staff, and a G above the staff
>>289279981
ah alright, thanks m8
I wanna git real gud and be like a drawfag but with music
>>289280593
What? That doesn't make any fucking sense
>>289280627
I didnt say no point in making music, but you cant call yourself a musician when you dont study others works too
>>289278225
>>289278358
Learn to solo

Saved for later reminder. Great tips for those days when things don't work out. Thanks.

The problem is his argument only really applies to shallow mainstream pop shit
Most music is not shallow mainstream pop shit.
>>289280509
>what is multitracking
>what are synths and keyboard sounds
this is my keyboard
https://youtu.be/pHvS4sdbHyY?t=144
throw a distortion pedal on that and it sounds fucking awesome
>>289280485
I've been making music myself for quite a while now. I can design sounds, mix and master well enough.
I'm just not that good at composing, and if I had put more effort into piano I might be better by now.
It's just that thanks to ADD, my motor skill just isn't that good, and I don't think that's ever going to go away. At least I can always sequence. I can compensate by being good at that at least.
>>289280824
it actually is bro
probably everything you listen to is pop music
>non-weighted keys
kills yourself
>>289280917
Oh, what, is this supposed to get me to say I don't and then you accuse me of being a hipster?
>>289280824
but that's not really true, either... go into any underground scene and you'll fine a ton of bands who are basically just clones of each other
>>289280917
Not him, but the main thing that makes pop music so terrible is lack of harmonizing, repetitive base, and/or no modulation.

Get a teacher, if you can afford it. You will miss out on tons of stuff without one.
>>289280824
all music intended to be recorded and exchanged commercially is pop music
deal with it
>>289281043
look pop is not an easy label to put on music since it means its music made to sell, which is pretty much everything today
Even accomplished musicians with various genres still have pop structure to a large amount of songs
>some anon says you get bored of playing vidya music
>I say you can get bored of anything if you do it enough
you should be as well rounded as possible is all
having a repitiore is good, you can always make changes to songs you know well and make it sound different
>>289281221
You don't know what "pop music" means, do you?
>>289280896
I am personally looking to me more of a scoring and studio type artist than a performer so there's no shame in that
Trent Reznor doesn't go on stage and play his music himself, he gets a bunch of session guys to do it and even then no individual one of them is comprehensively playing the piece. His music is so multilayered that it ends up being lots of simple components which become complex from the larger perspective of the arrangement
>>289280972
>implying I have money to own and maintain an actual piano
>implying 90% of the pianos people own don't sound like shit because they never tune them
Anything from Touhou. Works great on piano.

>its music made to sell

Hold it, that's just not true.
Right now it's easier than ever to release and find music online. The internet makes a grounds for distribution and discovery for a lot of artists that just weren't there before in the first place.
>>289281282
Or you could just play jazz

Life is suffering.
I never understood the people who feel the need to always judge music. "Pop music is to little of this", "classical is to much of that". Why not try to understand each piece of music on its own premises? The only person who wins is you.
>>289282729
This, there is something to take away from just about any music whether you enjoy it or not
Things only plebs say:
>X genre isn't music
>X instrument takes no talent
>this is just noise
>>289282648You don't have to play weebshit to enjou Touhou music

>>289282729
its all good to me
someone said "you get bored of learning music, create it" and derailed thread
>>289282895
Oh, I enjoyed it a lot
I just mean that I normally would never encounter it because I don't play those games or care to watch LPs of them

Touhou is hardly weebshit anyway. Even less so if you hold CTRL through all the dialog.

Skill won't change the fact that a guitar is a guitar. Maybe using an extended range guitar would help, but I can't see a way to make some songs work on a 6 string.

Could be the mix on youtube though, I've never noticed any popping noise like that when playing the stage. Probably since I was too focused on dodging thousands of bullets.

>keyboard starts on a C
why arent you part of the 88-key master race yet
>>289290559
yeah, but this one specifically is simple and the loop is relatively short
>>289290559
Because that's the point of background music, you need to put something that won't stand out, and will fit with the events unfolding on screen. Hence why they often use loops.
Music to my ears. :^)
>>289287678
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opVNql8XEZ4
you just suck, and your further excuses with using an ERG just prove this, as most guys playing 7/8 strings try to mask their inability to play in time and create good riffs with chugga chugga
>>289290746
Don't forget cartridge restrictions.
>>289290783
I don't own an ERG, I thought using an 8 string to mimic the lows and highs of a piano would be more fitting since you have more contrast.
I'm talking more about making a whole arrengement and not only covering a part of the melody.
>>289290783
damn i thought this was going to be bucket head
>>289291072
you can play 6 string and play bass and melody just fine
if youre good that is
>>289291072
I fully understand that, I own 2 7strings myself (not keen on 8 tho) but I just noticed those things with most people.
Anyway, most things are easily achievable on 6 strings. If you wanna some heavy shit then check Sylosis, they're heavy as fuck because they use inverted power chords (prime with a fourth instead of fifth), even if they're in classic E standard
