      Definitely one of them. There are many many more though. Things to be learned, explored, etc. Math, science, REAL world events, not the nonsense from the old school media, people's takes on every subject, from students to masters. Mastery level presentations of all kinds of subjects, and people demonstrating the other side with videos like time grabs of learning violin, etc. which are often interesting and sometimes pretty amazing. Also a lot good humor (sometimes even intelligent humor) often lacking in standard presentations, as well.

      @@Debilitator47 When have you EVER seen an endeavor of man not have problems? And I disagree, the restart would turn out no differently, and something like governmental control would absolutely destroy its value.
      As far as I'm concerned there is something for everyone. There is absolutely no requirement for it to conform to your taste, or mine. It is as simple as a click to enter something you are interested in, and a click away to leave, if not. AND you can access anything at any time. What could be better than that?
      If it's not illegal or spreading hate, I say go for it. The best thing of all is it gives everyone a voice. Many are idiots (moon hoaxers, flat Earthers, etc.), I'll grant you, but giving them an outlet, meeting the above criteria, is in my opinion, not a bad thing. And for that matter, trolling some of more extreme morons, like the ones mentioned above, is a lot of fun. Some excellent humor available there, as well. The creativity is almost beyond belief, as well, again in a myriad of areas, all of them really, except maybe the flat Earthers. :-)
      I would rank the internet as probably the best thing that has ever happened to mankind, actually. Not perfect, not by a long shot, but all out excellent. There is even some excellent wit available in the comment sections, occasionally. Like the one I saw a while back that flat Earthers are like a pigeon that has been invited to play chess. They fly in, knock all the pieces over, crap all over the board, and then fly away, declaring themselves the winner. See?

    • @varalis6325
      @varalis6325 Рік тому +42

      After getting into music for a handful of years, the ability to memorize music just naturally develops. One thing that helps is not using sheet music after you learn a song. Overall it isn't like remembering all the words in a chapter of a book. After some practice and skill with a song, muscle memory leads the charge to where the music almost plays itself. Also, after diving into music for a while, your ability to recall and understand music in general goes way up, which sort of pairs with your increasing skill and familiarity with an instrument, as you will, in a way, play the music by ear, even though you already know the piece. Patterns and chunks is part of it, and that will depend on the instrument, to where something like the bow hand of a violinist benefits from getting used to the pattern of playing since there is more movement so the pattern is more defined. Something like picking strings with a guitar wouldn't be affected as much since the movement is much smaller and with less variation. There's also the mental part of patterns/chunks, as in the way your mind thinks of and understands the music. Also (again), playing more active parts/pieces helps with memorization - like if you are playing in an orchestra and you have lots of rests and may only play like three notes before going back to a rest, that becomes harder to remember. Something like a solo piece or the melody part in an ensemble would be easier to remember, which sounds counterintuitive, but all the sections string together better and the melody is more obvious - as in, playing harmonies or supporting parts wouldn't be as easy to remember as it is harder to tell how that part fits in with the whole piece as it is only one small part of the whole and doesn't carry as much recognizable melody. At least, that has been my experience. Overall, remembering music is something that stops being an issue relatively early in your musical journey and being able to play/practice for over an hour from memory is not much of an ask at all. As others have pointed out too, it is a little hard to explain to someone if they don't have a little bit of music listening/instrumentation experience.

    2 yrs late to the concert- I can’t believe I missed this masterpiece of a performance. I’ve been following Ana’s career since she was a child and you will not find a more musical guitarist. The comment that her guitar is an extension of her MIND is absolutely correct. Her voice separation is uncanny -she often sounds like an ensemble. That goes far beyond just “technique”.

      I agree, so smooth. The squeaks from the guitar strings are almost not there. But you can hear them sometimes. Personally I dont bother about them, they are a part of the guitar sound, as I see it. If you have new strings they are stronger, but I think this time with Anas wonderful playing and a very good uptaking sound they have been diminished.

      A Bachelor of Music curriculum has a 5-year Term regardless of your Major and Minor, but entrance to the College passing their respective AUDITION is a pre-requisite. That means enrolling in a college of music, one must have enough music theory and playing skills, already. During your 1st day in Theory class, the professor wont open page 1 of your DANHAUSSER anymore, probably he or she will ask the students to open it somewhere page 54 or more advance pages (I'm telling a personal experience when i took BM Composition / Voice at UP, Diliman College of Music (Philippines).

      The first thing you enter the church is show reverence to the consecrated altar. And if the Tabernacle candle is lit, that is the sign the Body of Christ is in there. May be the acoustical element is ideal but it is inappropriate to have a guitar show inside the church. This is what the Catholic Church teach our children and here the adults doing the opposite. No wonder 80% of the catholic don't go to church and 90% don't know their faith.

    I believe what makes Ana Vidovics Bach so capturing is her way of playing Bach. His so called unnoted notes, namely the legatos, the crescendos, or what we may call them. It is all about rythm. When it is there, or when it is not. When Ana plays Bach the rythm is her companion all the time, and so I rely on her music completely. Never will it fail. If you want to call it "pulse" instead of "rythm" it is okey with me. Pulse is nearer the heart, And heart is what it is about.

      I agree. I should also add they are helped by the fact that there are few people there. When recording a delicate instrument like the guitar with a live audience in attendance, the sound engineers have to somehow try to pick up the delicate reverbs the instrument is sending around the space, with the fact that they need to mute all the fidgeting and other noises from the audience. A compromise that is often to the detriment of the recording.
