The Musician's Thread
Time

I play the guitar, but since I'm completely self-taught I'm not terribly good at it. Let's add to that me being left-handed, and almost never practising. In fact, at first I had a 12 string classical guitar, and I learned to play left handed. Then my uncle gave me a les paul replica for my birthday, so I had to unlearn and relearn how to play right handed because you can't "flip" an electric guitar as easily as you can a classical.

The 12 string is out of commission, since I'm an idiot and I put steel strings instead of nylon, therefore bending the neck to the point that it now looks more like a cello than a guitar.

The fake les paul is broken too, because I'm an idiot and one day I left it standing without support against my wardrobe. Next thing I know, I'm in the kitchen and I hear a loud *kabong*! The neck is totally busted now, I have no idea how much money will be needed to fix it.

I kinda play the keyboards, a few basic chords, still terrible at it.

My main shtick is singing. I have decent pipes, though -again- I'm an idiot and a few times I've blown them trying to sing slightly out of my range.

This was made with a crappy headset mic, I found the instrumental on Youtube (it has since been taken down).

This one I'd call a proto-demo, it was an experiment in multitracking, I completely fucked up the last part. All instrument tracks are mine, the drums were sequenced (I forgot the name of the program) the bass and synth parts I played with my keyboard, and the guitar is my fake les plugged straight into the mic input.

All of this was done on an old Hp laptop with Audacity.

I stopped posting there the moment everyone lept to Lucasfilm's defense after they announced they were putting 1993-quality transfers on frickin' dvd.

Did anyone there make ridiculous arguments like "It's 1970s film quality! You can't ask for any better!"?

 "Duh! It's, like, ancient stuff, like before 2010 or something. HD wasn't even invented yet! They still had stupid models hanging by strings! Hurr hurr hurr"

(I swear I've seen the "ships on strings" remark written somewhere)

No, cold again. Read the hint above.

I really hope it doesn't turn out to be lost in translation, when I finally tell you guys the answer (assuming no one gets it).

 Okay an autumn breeze then = a wind cries, it makes trees weep their leaves, their leaves are red sheep following the breeze (It's a solution :-D)

Yeah, but not the solution, sorry. Very poetic I must say.

In this forum, I don't believe in coincidence.  Ric Olie 2 didn't just materialize out of nowhere from some newbie that just happened to choose that name blindly when joining.  That name was chosen for a reason, but by whom, I do not know.

 Hey, look at Judge Dreddful ova here! Stop it, you're making a fool out of yourself.

@Leonardo, THAT is nasty.  I'm actually offended and I have a fairly good sense of humor.

 Does not compute. Syntax error #273, class "offended" incompatible with class "fairly good sense of humour".  ABNe577@level42. Press Return to Restart System. Press Escape to Cancel Error.
