QUOTE (Kaneda @ Jul 11 2007, 11:19 AM)  Before that, I used to have an avatar somewhat similar to fkalich, but found that lots of others had it too - but I still like it (and its title): http://www.amiga.org/modules/myalbum/photo...1621&cid=33 that is cute. Need to send that to my older brother. He feeds birds with feeders in his back yard, and the neighborhood cats are on to him. He left me a phone message yesterday, chanting "kill kitties, kill kitties". I do try to manage things so that birds are not killed in my neighborhood. A couple get it every year, but with 8 cats who all go out some, I do a pretty good job of protecting the birds. |

@Kaneda: the only thing i wanted to point out is that violin is more difficult than guitar in many points of view. Everybody can scream out a couple of notes on it but to make it a real music and to go with it to public you have to be able to do something more than that!
Violin "prodigies" - as you called them - are learning from basics and small age, playing musical pieces written by geniuses of classical music so you can't compare that with "improvisation" on violin. Classical music is THE MOTHER and also very difficult to play in the right way. If you are playing stuff for fun than go ahead! No discouragement here!!  btw. learning violin at this age will reduce your time you could spend on guitar - so it's your choice! I just stated the facts!

That is certainly true in my opinion - From seeing kids learn at school, it seems that they scrape away for years, and then reach a certain point with their intonation and become virtuosos overnight - there is really no in between. Guitar, you can sound decent a lot more quickly. But as others have said, don;t let us discourage you - go for it

QUOTE (Hemlok @ Jul 13 2007, 10:45 AM) Well today i got my violin..... and boy do i suck I have already snapped a string, and i havnt tuned it yet, but its loads of fun even tho it sounds crap haha But i have been spending too much time playing it. Enough whiskey, its making me tired. time for a coffee and then guitar for the rest of the night. - Hemlok  Good for you! Why not post a really awful audio clip to vindicate me and Pavel, then set about proving us wrong over the coming months
