The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Learning to play the piano is so hard!

Uh, yeah. I like playing the keyboard, I get visual effects to go with the music of weapons fire.

I started taking lessons for piano about two months ago and each week it's getting harder even though it's still beginner stuff. I have to practise a lot at home because I just don't have the manual dexterity and coordination yet to do those tricky finger movements. When I look at the notes on the music book, I need 100% mental concentration and still I have to pause and think every so often to figure out what it says and what corresponding hand movement goes with it. The teacher makes it look so easy!

/me nukes the piano from orbit.

YAY! Finally some insanity! My title reads "Re: ZOT!", and if that isn't something insane, I don't know what is! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I want to learn to play the comedy piano, one where all the keys are replaced by ultrasonic emitters.

You can only play a tune by either: Making dogs howl in tune OR The synchronised falling of bats out of flight.

A tough instrument to be sure, but rewarding.

And don't forget that you can also play a tune by synchronizing your hand movements so the ultrasonic emittions cause an earthquake on the other side of the planet, to the tune of "Frère Jacques", but beware; this is extremely difficult. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Theres also the problem that you can't practice to many times before running out of areas to cause earthquakes in.

Also people take a dim view of this, but true artists are regularly unappreciated in their own lifetimes.
