Sing to her. (Or, become the poet.) It won't take as long to get the music and words across in such short a time. If possible, have the musical accompaniment done by a recording (your song, someone else playing an instrument) or partner with an instrumentalist. Want real class? Get a (school or church) choir to perform your song as a surprise. Ultimate: Flash-mob. But to try to incorporate any instrument on your own... Takes a good year to become even 'really well' or to realize you are doing good with most anything tried.

Of course you want it more than anything there are literally tens of millions of women who are born with the idea that you should look to try and get through life by selling your body, its every young girls dream that people will want to pay for her looks and it's just prostitution dressed up, literally. It's a sad culture. So yeah, I wish you the best of luck and all...but always keep a plan B which should have been your plan A. Modelling agencies have tons of girls and women to choose from and you should be aware they will use you and get the max from their money, use you up and throw you away so the professions dressed up and called modelling and women perfectly willing to get by selling their bodies have a platform where they won't be judged but a snake dressed up as a Christmas stocking is still a snake. Hope you aspire and hope to realise and measure your worth in more than just numbers and be more than just a weight, a height and so so measurements. Think really carefully about what your dream is behind all the gift wrapping and hype and glamour and glitter. Because what happens when you're getting older or the in vogue body type changes or there just aren't any jobs and the only thing you really know how to do is get paid for your body? Before you know it you'll be doing anything for money, it's a slippery slope. Just a girl for sale.

Don't think too much about the performance. If you know what you're doing and are confident you can play the piece well at home, get in front of the crowd and enjoy yourself! As a violinist (as well as pianist and cellist), I have had to answer my own question, 'why do I play music'? The answer: it's beautiful, and it expresses internal feelings - and people love to hear you play it too! Try to think about the music itself when you perform, and pretend the people are in another room. I think you'll do fine. I was scared half to death at my first public performance when I was 10, and at several following that. I was in a church quire, and sang every week, which also made me very nervous. After I realized what I've said above, I relaxed quite a bit. I really enjoy performing violin and cello, and occasionally accompany my sister on the piano. Once you can relax, just enjoy yourself!

You might try videotaping yourself when you speak, and then watching it later in order to determine all of your trouble spots - it's possible that you are tensing up more than you thought, making your voice seem unnatural. You might also find that your movements are stiff as well. Try some relaxation and stretching exercises before you speak, but other than that, practice as much as you can. Add in some humor, if you can, to get everyone laughing and to make everything less awkward.

Neither the B or Bm are difficult to play as bar chords. B - bar the second fret with your first finger and play an A shape on the fourth fret. or bar the 7th fret and play an E shape above it. Bm - bar the second fret with your first finger and play an Am shape above it.. or bar the 7th fret and play an Em shape above it. Simple enough, but you will need to make up you mind if it's a B or a Bm. Can't fathom how you got to be in the band without being able to tell the difference. Good Luck. xx

i learned drums in 2 weeks :) i can now play any peice of music given to me . it really depends if you are musical ? im quite musical and a play a couple of instruments so thats why i finded it easier but im sure you can, yes :) let me know how you get on , good luck :)

For S's and Giggle's I did a bit of research. These keep coming up as the frequencies that Ashdown is dialing in for their amps, so even though I don't know exactly what model yours is, I'm betting that this is Bass +/-15dB @ 100Hz Lo Mid +/-15dB @ 220Hz Middle +/-15dB @ 660Hz Hi Mid +/-15dB @ 1.6kHz Treble +/-15dB @ 7kHz shelving Okay, so this means that the EQ is active - with the knob at halfway its "flat" - it won't change that particular frequency. With it to the left, it will cut, to the right it will boost. Start by leaving all the knobs flat and, with the volume and tone knobs on your bass all the way up, start by just raising the volume and see what it sounds like. Its going to be a little bit different for everyone depending on their gear (bass, pickups, strings, speakers, etc), but this is the sound that you will be starting from. The bass knob controls the deepest frequencies - these are the "oomph" and power frequencies. At 100 hz you're in the same region as the kick drum and toms. If your bass doesn't sound like it has any power, and you're already at a loud enough volume, then this is the knob to boost a little. If it sounds too boomy and flabby, this is the knob to cut. The low-mid knob is the "body" or warmth. Although 220 hz is a little low for this (I'd assume 300-500 hz), you should be able to cut this frequency for a more "scooped", modern sound. If you sound too thin, though, boost the frequency (or don't cut as much). You'll be competing with the guitar and the lowest vocals here, so don't boost too much - you want to leave some "sonic space" for those other instruments. The high-mid here is "attack". If your bass sounds too "clicky" or "picky", then consider cutting a little here. On the other hand, a lot of bass players are going to want to boost here so that they can bring out that attack and be heard better in the mix. High is string definition, "presence", or "air". Here is where the detail and the definition of your bass will come through. Boosting a little can bring you forward in the mix, cutting it will pull you back a little. Pay attention when you're cutting, though, because if you don't have enough treble you'll sound dull and muddy. Anyways, start with the knobs "flat" (all at 12 o'clock), turn it up, and see what happens when you boost and cut each knob. If you find yourself boosting everything then stop, put all the knobs back to flat, and turn up the volume instead. Hope that helped!

The easiest and fastest way to learn any instrument is with lessons from a good qualified local instructor. Check with your local music stores and music schools for lessons and rates.

The only way to actually test this is to put the strings on a guitar and listen to them. The problem is that this is a subjective quality and not ideally suited to any objective testing procedures. The best you can do is to digitally record each set of strings played on the same guitar using the exact same combination of mics and pickup placement and then measure the actual signal on an oscilloscope and try to determine which sample has the widest dynamic range and length of actual sustain (vibration). In order for the test to be objective you would have to randomize the samples without knowing which one was which until the comparison has been made. Guitar strings manufacturers all use the same materials and computerized string winding machines. so they all have very similar specifications. People perceive "resonance" in different ways so what one person thinks is a better sound another might think as being is too strident or brittle. String manufacturers do all sorts of testing so maybe they would be willing to help you with this project.
