aui_adriene:guys...i have a new question
as a musician, he/she must figure some ways to NOT having stage fright, i have a band...but we're new...we practice...and it goes well, but the problem is...we have this stage fright, we can't sing in front of a crowd, even though it's our family.
silly right?
pls help me....give me some advice how to conquer our fear...this fear really sucks!
we always performed in front of the mirror, but now we are ready to perform live... hopin you can help us.... 
you can never really not get stage fright. even huge bands like paramore get really nervous before a show.
just keep practising. if you get too nervous to look at the audience, focus on a point just above their heads, and imagine theyre not there. OR, as my dear friend kate says, 'imagine them all as blue peas...'
generally, mind tricks help-- imagine theyre not there, or imagine theyre something everyday or funny, like a books or chairs. |

just go with your gut, with a little help from your brain. before you even pick up an instrument, hum possible combinations to yourself, and then elaborate and perfect them later.
as for forgetting the tune... try to record it on a phone or mp3 player, or just remember a simpler part of the tune, then elaborate on that. when i compose music, i always manage to change it each time, so i get kinda annoyed at myself. not to mention a lot of my composing goes on in my head during biology lessons. |

Does anyone have a link to an online tutorial or something that I can use?
I have SOME knowledge of keyboard and my friend needs me to play synths. =/ use syballius tthats spelt totaly wrong but its a program i use at school and it works wonders
sibelius. and i agree-- its a really good program. however if you cant get sibelius, noteworthy composer is good too, and substantially cheaper. sibelius has better instrument imitations though, so its better for synth work. |

The strings should be fine, because when I bought it I had the strings replaced.
you can tune it to a piano, preferably electric, if you want to use standard tuning (EADGBe)
or, you can tune the lower E, then tune the rest of the guitar to that-- if you play the fifth fret on any string, it is the same note as the string above in standard tuning apart from G-B, where it is the fourth fret. |

Posts: 17 | May 11th, 2008 at 02:03pm rachi_left4deadx_x:Hey,
I've recently began writing music and would like to put lyrics to it. I'm not entirely sure how to do this. My questions are:
1. Is there any particular rule muscians follow when putting lyrics to music or do they just put the lyrics there if it sounds good?
2. What are your best tips to putting lyrics to a song (if you have any)?
generally, you write the lyrics first, then put the music TO the lyrics, not the other way around, or you end up with awkward or poor quality lyrics.
ive never written the music first though, so i dont really have any other tips apart from lyrics THEN music. |

It'd probably be better to write lyrics first, but I'm a better musician, so yeah. |

Posts: 426 | May 25th, 2008 at 08:12pm Ok, this is a question about recording.
So my band just wrote a song, which is sort of hardcore-ish, and it has a break down, and tons of tempo changes.
I need to know how to record a song with tempo changes, because our program has a built in metronome, that only goes one speed through the whole process (we use Mixcraft, 4.1). We've never recorded a song with tempo changes for this purpose.
Any helpful tips? Any programs to record with?
(Oh, by the way, we're thirteen years old, so we don't exactly have enough money sitting around to have a studio session. =/) |

Posts: 426 | May 29th, 2008 at 06:40pm Technically, your post should go in the Tabulature thread.
If it's too hard, dumb it down yourself. Play half the notes.
Or move onto another song, until you get better. |

band names can really be whatever you want. Something that remdinds you of something important. something of the tele. anything that makes you laugh
a few of thew bands i know actually got their name but choosing four words out of a random book.
so get the nearest book go to chapter 5, page 4, paragrah 2, line 2, and words 4,5 and 6. and youve got a name, lol
i hope that helped |

A couple friends and I just started a band and we don't have a logo yet...
We really, really need a logo.
If any of you guys are really creative, it would be abosolutely awesome if you can make me a logo! =] =]
Band Names:
[[We have 2 possible names]]
~Public Control
~Public Conviction
You can make one for each or make one for one of them. =] |

What type of band are you?
Because if you guys are grindcore, I need to make it completely illegible. |

Not really...
We're more like a punk band not really a grindcore band.
Specific colors we'd like are black, red,and white.
Thanks a lot for helping out!! =] =] |
