General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Can't Decide

« on: October 02, 2007, 12:13:10 pm »

I can't decide if I love this album or if i'm dissapointed.

I like most of the songs but as a whole, the album doesn't feel like "Vanessa."

Respect artistic growth  :lol:. If she sounded anything like Be Not Nobody or Harmonium, how can you expect her to grow as a musician? There's a reason why artists sound different on each album - it's because they're growing, not necessary because they want to change.

Change is inevitable.

Completely Off-Topic / I'm going to buy a violin

« on: October 02, 2007, 08:45:12 am »

I know. I just wasn't sure if you were looking for a fiddle or a violin. A fiddle has a flatter bridge, which allows one to fiddle a hell of a lot easier than on a normal violin.

O Rly?  

Then I shall get a fiddle, one with a flatter bridge.

Question: How long have you been playing for? Was it your first instrument, or are you like me [a person who already played a stringed instrument]? How was it when you first started?

For a beginner to an intermediate level, a Glaesel is pretty good. It was my first violin and now I'm on my third, but the Glaesel is still my favorite to play. The other two were hand made in Russia, but they aren't too expensive either, if you can find a violin salesplace that is centered around the instrument. Glaesels can be found anywhere from prices that range from 150-400 dollars, depending on the tone you want from the violin. I believe mine was 225.

As a side note, you do realize that the fiddle is different than the violin?

Thank you for the advice - I'm looking to spend around £150 [Around $300USD]. By fiddle, I mean country violin. All violins can be called fiddle but generally, fiddle refers to a violin when it is played in country music. A person who plays a violin is called a violinist or a fiddler, irrespective of what genre you play. So, in a way, they are synonymous with each other.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / THE BREAKUP: VANESSA CARLTON AND STEPHAN JENKINS

Stephan slept around constantly, I personally know people who had sex with him within the last year. I've been to 10 3eb shows and I've seen him with the girls backstage.
Sucks but it's true and not surprising at all. He is very charming and also very selfish.

:cry:

Well in that case, he can die an untimely death

Meh - I can deal ith it  :lol:. I played Saxaphone for a couple of years and I know I can do it all again. The only problem with a violin is that it has no frets, as a guitar would. So I need to improve on ear training. I figured playing violin will help me so much more on guitar.

Personally guys, I don't think either of them were to blame and to comments about Stephen sleeping around, I can't believe that either. I've never really listened to Third Eye Blind so I have no idea about his personality etc, but I found his persona to be very resassuring in Pleased to Meet You.

More research has led me to believe that I can play basic violin without even playing on one before because it's like the guitar. Playing it with correct pitch is a different story  :lol: but I know all the notes on a violin anyway. I can read music but not very well so hopefully, I can finally learn and get uptodate with reading scores.
