Reply to Album closing tracks that are lyrically saying goodbye to the listener ("hope you enjoyed the show", etc) by xxzxcuzx__me

A few eminem albums end with a track where he literally says thank you for coming, hope you enjoyed the show.

Examples I can think of are at the end of "Untitled" from the recovery album and "Encore/Curtains down" from encore where the crowd are calling his name for an encore and he comes back out and starts shooting with a gun.

Learn to recognize intervals. When learning a melody, it's good to imagine the melody as a wave or contour that goes up or down. Something like this. Learning to recognize intervals helps you to catch these melodies faster because you know whether the melody note leaps or move in a certain direction as examples. Everytime you learn a melody, analyze the crap out of it, identify the interval & notes used.

It takes time to be able to get used to playing songs by ear so don't worry if you suck during the early stage.

As for harmony, learn & internalize the sound of the chords(major, minor, augmented & diminished). Also learning basic music theory helps when you try to identify chord progression.

the album Before these crowded streets by dave matthews band starts with the lyrics “come and relax now leave your troubles, no need to bear the weight of your worries here let them all fall away”

and then ends with the lyrics “come in from the noise for a while, everything will be be all right…for now, good bye…friend, good bye”

Lol, it’s this simple, I think, it’s been forever since I started doing this, learn some basic chords, listen to music, and play along with it. You’ll be surprised at how much you can finger out on your own, what you do will be wrong most of the time for awhile but slowly you can transcribe with your ear what’s right and wrong. Can’t stress enough that learning some basic theory won’t hurt you, but help you better understand what you’re doing, it’s not the gospel, it’s literally a tool to be used when you need. In western music there is only 12 notes, it won’t effect you negatively to learn them.

Learned how to play trumpet in marching band. Was a first chair for 4 years until I moved to live with my mom. Her friend she visited a lot had a piano and i liked to just sit and mess around on it. Learned how to notice familiar sounds from just playing with the keys and knowing what I already knew about music. Been playing piano since I was 13 by ear, I’m 33 now. Just picked up on certain notes and pitches from what I already knew and had seen many piano players so I just knew a little about hand placement from that

Reply to I need help for finding a song by wiggie666123

Only song I know that has the lyrics “Are you in or are you out” is “A Favour House Atlantic” by Coheed and Cambria but obviously they don’t have female vocals so I doubt it’s what you’re after.
