View Full Version : Play an instrument


Al Maawali
30-01-08, 03:22 PM
This is kinda big and I kinda doubt that you people from this sabla are able to raise to the occasion:rolleyes: I hope you all prove me wrong:)

I want all of you who play any, and I mean any, instrument and publish a video of yourselves playing it. It doesn't matter what your instrument is. It could be using your desk as a drum for all I care. But it's gotta be, ummmmm... musical:p

And of course, I made a video today so that you can see what I am talking about. Its not the best video, and I made many mistakes but you'll get the general idea.

This is the link to it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PI5ba3VcB2Y

I would appreciate a comment and a participation:) Feel free to be completly honest:no:

Al Maawali, for how long you have been playing?!

You screwed Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" :p By the way, is the quality of the video is low, or your guitar isn't tuned?!

That was mean Nightie....if your balls are so big then maybe you should post your performance before you diss his? :p

It doesnt matter is you havn't got much rythm as long as u try to play something.

Hey that's quite good..

I've just started self-teaching myself to play the same type of guitar.. There's not much I can do right now.. nothing to show off in here, that's for sure.. :hyper:

Ow cool:) And again... you dont have to knnow much, just play what you know. It's not a comapatition.. just for kicks.

Nothiiiing else matterrrrrs
a5 i love this song

nicely done mawali ;)

i have a guitar i only touched it one week then it's just hanged on my room wall lol .. i dnt know how to play it :hmm:

lol. It DOES make a good art peice:p If you are not interested in guitars, try playing any other instrument.

Al Maawali, for how long you have been playing?!

You screwed Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" :p By the way, is the quality of the video is low, or your guitar isn't tuned?!

lol:hyper: I forgot to mention, I am playing my version of the song. That's not how the real song goes, you are right.
And as you said, I am a beginner and not thaaat good..yet.
But this is the whole point of this, its not a compatition

That was mean Nightie....if your balls are so big then maybe you should post your performance before you diss his? :p

:hyper:

He heart my feelings:inno: Tell him mimosa!!:angry:

mimosa, too bad I don't play any instrument myself. But, I am a big listener!

Al Maawali, sorry if I was kinda harsh. But, I am just too straight/honest with my opinions. You didn't answer my question, is it the quality of the video or the guitar wasn't well tuned?!

Mawaali, pretty good. You have good fingers, but there's part of the song you're playing wrong. You're hitting a B (second fret on the fifth string), where instead you should be playing an open E (no fret, 6th string, thick E string).

ti3gib
31-01-08, 02:55 AM
Solidus, they're perfect. Weren't off for a second, except you have a sound problem. First video, too low. Second video, clean the tone up a bit, hurt my ear.



I don't have a guitar here so I can't play anything for ya.

congrats al mawaali... keep on practising. for a newbie you are very good. an hour daily, and you'll be better in no time at all...even within a week. your chord switching is very good.
i'll try and post something of myself playing the piano once i deem it fit enough and it won't cause any nasty side effects to those listening/watching :D

i liked the end bit of the concerto where the frog falls off the computer desk.
i must say the clapping enhanced the feeling of the music you produced.
well done to your sissy!

3bdoosh you're rockin'!

Ma3wali, that was brave to hang yourself out on the Sabla like that, and I thought you did great!

Mo: Now I've got past the mental image of you being violated by a close family member, you rock buddy! That's all we need...another seven foot headbanger just like your sister!!!! Do you have anything of just you playing, without recorded accompaniment?

LoL Did it turn you on? ;)

The problem is, my style is metal, and I do well on distortion, so I really find it tough to just play alone without background..

mimosa
01-02-08, 02:42 AM
According to your avatar/sig combo you play right and left-handed too! Keep 'em coming Mo, but really you should try something solo...would be nice to hear!

P.S. Tell Blind Melon she's a big daft mare from me, and to book a table with the tall dude at the usual place ;)

^no women no cry was an easy one for me too as a beginer flat chords learning

that was my first attempt on tunning guitar on my own, and i guess it worked. i cant tho get rid of the weird sound, i guess the strings are too loose.

Al Maawali, could you send the chords for nothing else matters?
