I want to be able to sing and play bass at the same time. The latter I can do very well, but my voice sucks.

 

Seriously, I can either go really high, really low, scream, shout or wail.

Nothing in the middle, which is where most singers are. :(

 

So, two years on singing + bass guitar lessons. Please? :p

    Whatever it is, people... just do it.

    Yup.

     

    I was trying to learn german, I think I might get back on that and hopefully dedicate the time to do so. There is a neat app that teaches you different languages (its free, Duolingo). I think I'm getting a tablet for my birthday (this wednesday!!) and will probably put it on there.

     

    Also, I've always wanted to take fencing lessons. I might look into that actually. See if there are classes around here.

    I've been taking german classes for 6 years, I've never heard of duolingo but here's two sites that have helped me out a lot: 

    http://www.verbforme...s in all tenses

    http://dict.tu-chemn.../ - dictionary�

     

    Maybe you'll find them useful as well. Viel Glueck!

    Music production, playing the piano/keyboard is kinda included into that. I play around with it every now and then but i suck at self teaching :/, i find myself spending more time google searching how to do shit than actually making something. And it kills me to see what some producers can make in 15 minutes on someone elses computer, that i can't even make in a day lol.

    Ohh, thank you very much! <3 I'll definitely check them out. They will be useful to cross check duolingo as well, cause I've heard from a few people the spanish on duolingo is like 98% accurate, but there are a few things that aren't pronounced right when learning.

    Side note: We went and visited my gpa at his new retirement community for fathers day, and he is taking german there! He is such a cute old man. He is taking all kinds of stuff there, the community is so nice too, I was like "man, can I move in here??" hahaha

    If I had two years and the money to hire someone to coach me, I'd do languages. Start by becoming fluent in Spanish and then take it from there. :)

    I've always wanted to learn how to program in C++. If only I had the time to devote to such an archaic programming language (Im sure it's archaic now right? Super old, Im sure) I would totally get into a book and do it.

    High voice - Jack White

     

    Low voice - Alex Turner

     

    Both fantastic singers imo. You don't need to be ordinary to be extraordinary.
