      ***** Might you be thinking of Standing Stones not Ancient Stones? Ancient Stones is in this video.

      @BoredErica 10 років тому +1

      DigitalVirusX2 That is definitely ancient stones. I just double checked. it's the village music. If you look at Jurjen's link for ancient stones, it's the SAME SONG as Ancient Stones this guy (Mark Fowler) plays in the video. It's just a little remixed but it's definitely the same song. Yes, Mark plays an intro that is not part of Age of Oppression, but after that he plays Age of Oppression and then Ancient Stones.

    These songs remind me so much of the time when I heard them the first time, when I started playing Skyrim… Everything was so new and mystic, it was just a whole new world… now, after 1000 hours of gaming, that magic is lost… :(

      As a Stormcloak, I believe the Empire is good and I have pity on them. It is the Thalmor and those damn elves that I hate. The Imperials are just being used and threatened by the Thalmor. Even Blagruuf is a Stormcloak. He just won't admit it because the Thalmor will kidnap and torture him.
      Anyways, Skyrim for the Nords! Death to the Thalmor!

    *"We drink to our youth, to the days come and gone, for the age of oppression is now nearly done.
    We'll drive out the Empire from this land that we own. With our blood and our steel we will take back our home.
    All hail to Ulfric, you are the high king. In your great honor we drink and we sing.
    We're the children of Skyrim and we fight all our lives, and when Sovrngard beckons, everyone of us dies.
    But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean of the scourge that has soiled our hopes and our dreams."*

    learning the notes is fairly easy for me as its not too advanced, so only a matter of hours to do that, if not minutes, depending on the difficulty/complexity overall. For example Ancient Stones took about 5 minutes to learn the notes and get to performance standard, the other part too longer to get to a performance standard but maybe just about a few days at most, the hard part for me is recording the music as I must practice the piece so much as to not make mistakes which is very tricky

    You should do the bard-song "Tale of the Tongues", easily the best song of the bunch. I remember after I defeated Alduin, I headed back to town to sell my stuff and stopped by the tavern, and I heard the bard playing this song, it was the first time I heard it and so I was like "woo! I unlocked a song!", before I knew it I stood there for about 3 whole minutes listening to the bard singing the song, and I was just absolutely riveted. Sometimes, immersion works.

    its in G sharp minor/A flat Minor, its pretty much all black keys, hence why he wrote it in that key. B major/C flat is the relative, and the B is natural of course, but the C is flattened, B obviously, A and G are flattened, hang on...its 7 flats all together, or 5 sharps, yes.

    If you mean the Hanon exercises then that has all the technique lessons you need I think, Chopin etudes are good also for developing good technique and musicality. The Hanon is very difficult though towards the latter parts of the book and gets highly advanced/skilled.

    I've found that thinking of a story works really well when trying to come up with a melody of my own. Just think of a story you want to tell and then think of the music that either goes with it or even tells the story itself in a sense.
    I'm not very good at composing music, but this way I've had many ideas for melodies, it works really well :)

    this is the yamaha p-155 and its very good value for money, sounds just as good as far more expensive pianos I have owned, still pondering on whether to buy roland hp507 as well so I have 2 pianos, the p-155 was only meant for gigging purposes. Its almost impossible to say which brand of piano is better, yamaha sounds great for certain pieces/styles of music, and roland does also, but they sound very different, yamaha is brighter, roland more mellow and with more pronounced bass
