Queen are the most overrated band in history and recorded alot of truly terrible songs and are only as big as they are because Freddie was gay and died young.

Reply to One man band by [deleted]
I'm not sure if you mean playing with them all attached to you, or recording different tracks. I think of a one man band as a guy having multiple instruments strapped to his body at the same time and playing several simultaneously.
I saw a folk/blues performer in a bar one time who stomped a tambourine for rhythm while playing part of his repertoire. I saw somebody else who played guitar and harmonica and also had a kazoo mounted on the rack beside his harmonica. I had already started learning Dylanesque guitar and harmonica performing, so for a while these guys inspired me to try to add the tambourine and kazoo and play two or three together at a time. However I abandoned the extra two pieces after a while as it just was too distracting and not worth the extra effort

James May's response to the award would be "Oh Cock!"

I haven’t seen it, but I’ll take your word for it. In any event, using a single vocal performance from someone who has eclipsed the age of 70 doesn’t seem like evidence like they weren’t good or excellent. I’m not saying Ritchie is the greatest in any event, but this cover of his work lacked the soul that makes the original so good, to me at least.

The Paper Bag has something like 50 musicians with all sorts of instruments like that.

your fingers should not be flat on the fretboard, adjust your wrist position on your fretting hand slightly forward and your fingers will naturally have more dexterity, keep it up it takes time. start with an Em, work up to more complicated chords.

DAVID (not Dave) Matthews covered the Dune soundtrack with some random space related songs sprinkled in, including the star wars theme and Bowie's Space Oddity. MF DOOM fans might recognize the solo in that one too ;)

My first concert ever was Sum 41 during their tour for this album so it’s always had a special place in my heart

Galactic is a New Orleans jazz/jam rock fusion. It definitely leans more toward Big Band than Orchestral.

I assume because it's recognition of how important your work actually is.
I don't think Americans can accept these titles, but I assume it's something like getting a nobel prize. What you do might be more important then the award, but the prize is just a feather on the cap for how important that work may be.

Try a small length guitar with 8s or 9s tuned to G.

My advice is to learn simple melodies and riffs (on a single string) before chords in order to strengthen your fingers e.g. Seven Nation Army, Smoke On The Water. It's also more fun in the beginning and helps you feel like your progressing. After a couple of weeks of that, then try a song like Good Riddance or Wonderwall with chords that keep at least two of your fingers in stationary positions.

Yeah that’s what I’m asking for. I don’t know much about guitars so that’s a much better way to put it. It does make sense that guitars would have microphones or other amplifiers in them before the ones played by guys like Les Paul came into common use. They had to be heard over the orchestra somehow lol.

there's nothing wrong with tabs, because you're gonna have to strengthen up your hands for a while before you can casually play most things. it's a good idea to learn theory from the piano, in my experience with learners.
early guitar players generally have a hard time with the strength and dexterity that are required from your fretting hand. you can't shortcut that. you have to just play a lot. it is by far the hardest part of picking up the instrument for many folks regardless of age/size/knowledge. eventually you are gonna want to be able to put any finger on any fret, so that you can do what you want. there's nothing wrong with non-musically Playing Notes to build up awareness and stamina.
it's not clear from your post whether you should be playing a right or left handed guitar.. nobody can really help you fix that issue if you have made a mistake haha..
source: am a 22 year player who started with tabs alongside taking piano lessons, also privately taught both young and old beginners for several years

I know it does, I’m really underestimating how hard it is to play, unlike piano you just press down and it sounds how u would expect it to sound
