Q. I need a free website that will show me about left handed technique, different styles of playing and anything else. if you know one please leave an answer. thanks
A. Whilst i recommend a teacher 1 on 1 studybass.com is probs yer best bet/''bass guitar for dummies''
Heres why a teacher is better
alot of people i see here post things such as ''i taught myself piano its easy''
let me say any instrument is easy (&these are most likely the ramblings of people who have only played guitar a few months), but to properly play it & understand what the heck your doing (this helps your creative process when writing your own stuff or just in general) is another different matter.
i could be taught to recite out 10 basic piano tunes, but give me the likes of Mozarts music & ask me to use certain techniques that are heard on piano. i would fail (as would all the people claiming ''its easy'' on their respective instruments)
the problem with teaching yourself guitar (or any instrument) is that alot of people give up they get frustrated. (supposedly 90% of self taught musicians quit whilst quoting statistics are generally wrong i wouldn't put it past being a damn high figure)
also alot of people can ''play'' guitar, ie bang out a few songs & intros eg starirway to heaven. But there is a notable difference heard between a self-taught guitarist playing a song & a trained guitarist.
guitarists are a dime a dozen, everybody plays guitar (heck i play guitar) however a decent guitarist is hard to find this is where you can benifit from lessons as most people don't take lessons.
Lessons are definitely a great idea, a teacher can show you techniques & correct you. i still get corrected over things i do at my lessons.
alot of the internet resources aren't that great, again it is alot of amateurs with bad technique posting who started out similar to you, or looking to make a quick buck.
every music autobiography i have read (& i read quite a fair bit of them as i LOVE music) the guitarist/any instrument, has gotten lessons at some point.
there are a rare few virtuoso (ie talented) people who didn't get lessons but even at that they start practicing with other people who have got lessons & learn off them.
As somebody said those ''guitar for dummies'' are great, however that is as a side tool to reference to. not to just teach yourself, at a glance you learn the basics but when you study those books they can get quite complicated & a teacher can clear any questions you have.
a teacher also encourages you to practice & gives you set goals.
Don't get me wrong you can learn by yourself but if you are in any way serious about wanting to play music & want to get to a good level, i'd DEFINITELY suggest lessons. Also alot of people seem to start their music career out on guitar as it is such a famous instrument & lots of people own guitars in some form. Don't be suprised if you feel like quitting guitar because everybody plays it after a few months it happens to alot of people, it doesn't mean you aren't musically talented.
PS try not to ask people to give you the chords to a song, its better if you can work them out yourself it creates an ear for certain notes. however make sure what you are playing is correct.
PPS: i read here an answer off somebody who was in a music college, she roughly said ''the teachers would cringe when they heard that a new 'self-taught' musician was coming to the colllege, because the teachers all knew he/she would have to be retaught due to them having bad technique''

Is there a computer software I could go buy that makes making beats very simple?
Q. I dont mind going to a store to purchase some software as long as its less that 20 dollars. I need something simple. I don't want to have to play a piano to make some beats, because god knows that I dont know how. I dont want to download anything from the web either. I want it to be out the store and agiain very very simple and easy to use, but yet makes good beats!
A. First: Judging by your statement I am going to assume you do not know much music theory. I am going suggest learn some music theory and notes cause those are basic for knowing how to make chord structures. best way to do that is find some free web sites where you can learn music theory for free. I don't have any off hand but if you ask on answers for the site you should find an answer then.
Second: The best out there right now is a program called Fruity Loops. It costs for the program but it is worth it with all the extensions you can download for it.
One thing you have to learn about computer programs. If you want good results then do not be cheap about it. Best said on Hustle and flow. he had to get the 200 dollar mic because the cheapo mic wasn't built structurally to handle the p's and b's.
The music theory will help out way more than any program. Music Theory is like the hand book of music. You have how the piano is structures and where to make chords and how to make them sound the way you want them to sound.
where can I find piano music for Friends by hedley?
Q. I really want to learn friends by hedley on the piano but I can't find the sheet music.
Do you know where i can get free sheet music?
A. Either buy the sheet music or borrow it from the library! As this music is COPYRIGHTED, it is illegal to give out the sheet music for free (In short, if the sheet music is not available as a legal purchaseable sheet music book/single sheet or as a legal purchaseable digital download, then it is not gettable at all). Also, all sorts of fan-made transcripts, tabs, tutorials and sheet music scans of ANY part of the music (tabs, chords, etc.) are equally illegal.
