What is your talent?

Hello Friends!

So, what is everyone good at then?

I've recently started learning the electric guitar and Japanese (see: http://pirate.planetarion.com/showthread.php?t=187274 )

The guitar learning is going pretty craply actually because it is harder than I thought.

Does anyone else play the electric guitar? How hard was it to get started? How long will it take before I can impress the panties off the girls by playing like this guy: http://media.putfile.com/Michael-Ang...--Speed-Kills- ?

Anyway, what else are you lot good at and enjoy doing?

Re: What is your talent?

I started playing the electric guitar 9 months ago, and am now at a level where I can play Sultans of Swing in its entirety fairly competently (yes, including the final solo). www.ultimate-guitar.com is the best place I can recommend. Try out some simple tunes to get your fingers used to playing. House of the rising sun is a nice, simple arpeggio to get you started. Winds Of Change is good too, although the solo will be beyond you at the moment, I should imagine. Learning your chords is important, but the more songs you try to play the chords for, the more you will learn. I'd suggest http://www.8notes.com/guitar_chord_chart/Am7.asp for a comprehensive list of chords.

Remember to start off slowly. Don't rush into being great - these things take years of practice. Try learning something relatively simple like Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles. Might seem a bit complicated at first but it really isn't. Stairway to heaven is another one you should be able to play after a couple of weeks of playing around getting the feel for the guitar. I think I learnt that my second or third week into getting it. Not the solo of course - way too difficult even now. More Than A Feeling is another song I'd recommend trying to play. It is once again simple and incorperated a few techniques you'll want to learn.

For me it is easy to, when trying to play a riff or series of riffs, realise which chord is being used to form the riff. For instance, more than a feeling can be played around the D chord, as can here comes the sun (though play this with the guitar capoed at 7th for it to sound authentic - although this is really a matter of choice. Pick some songs you like the sound of that aren't particularly difficult, or that you think you could play with a little practice. Learn them. You'll do much better if it is a song you know and a song you like (so you will keep playing it and not realise that you hate the song and give up).

Most of all - don't give up. Keep playing. If something is too difficult, try something a little easier. If you want to get good fast, learn things that you feel are slightly too difficult for you until you can play them well, and keep doing this. This way you'll progress quickly. It would also be useful to get a book on theory although, if you just want to muck around and not join a band or anything, this isn't overly important, though some knowledge of theory is useful. Practice, practice practice. I stayed up until 5 in the morning until I could play the solo for More Than A Feeling at least semi competently, then when I got up I played it for another couple of hours and then some more later until I had it down. I play for about 5 hours every day. More than that usually to be honest. I enjoy it. I bought this beauty a month ago. The picture really doesn't do her justice. Have her stuck into my 100W Marshall amp as we speak connected with a Monster Performer 500. OOOOh yeah!

I'm also fairly good at flying aeroplanes. Origami, too. I also have a talent for creative writing - poetry, song-writing, stories, etc - although I rarely get to flex my creative muscles any more, which is a shame really because it's something I enjoy doing.

[Edit on one of the links]

Please keep in mind that this is just from the point of view of a beginner who has, as of yet, had no formal training, so take the advice of others who have had proper training over mine if they contradict me. Hope this helps. Rock on.

Re: What is your talent?

The wind of change solo is ****ing easy, actually, most solo's on the guitar are, once you noticed the chords that you have to use.

Actually I just can't keep a proper rythm, but technically what is difficult about playing a guitar?

Also I do not get this 'going to learn something', mostly since I do not have the discipline to do such things..

However, learning Japanese is actually rather wonderfull, I wish I would be motivated enough to do something like that ...

Well considering that the 'solo' uses 2 guitars, playing it with 1 guitar and having it sound decent is not '****ing easy'for someone who hasn't been playing for very long and is struggling. I have no idea how far he is and am taking it from the view that he has played absolutely nothing. Did you pick up a guitar for the first time and play that? Thought not.

He has been playing guitar for no years and claims to be finding it difficult. Get some idea of your 'target audience' when saying things.

Well I am only discrediting the idea that the 'Wind of Change' solo is difficult.

Re: What is your talent?

I said that it is beyond him at the moment. As I said I am taking it from the point that he has never picked up a guitar before. I did not say that it was difficult. Bloody hell you're picky!

Re: What is your talent?

In that case I have to agree with you, I am sorry for this misunderstanding, it was mostly my fault then, however, if you want to train yourself with a guitar, the tockle from 'the house of the rising sun' is perfect for training exercises as it is easy and you can speed it up like no other tockle.
Another one should be the intro of street spirit (Am7/Am/Asus-something and C7/C/Csus) which is also a winner.

Singing. My sight reading is still a little dodgy, but I have an exceptional vocal range.

The ability to learn. I can learn many different things that are easy or hard for many different reasons, and that may be taught in many different ways.

I've always been something of an artist, I've not done much for a long time, but I have a natural ability in certain media.

Physics. Kind of goes without saying, really.

Re: What is your talent?

Jenny completed her degree in either oxford or cambridge last summer I think. She's doing some bizzare phd in like QNC (which involves the words quantum and computing and possibly national but I really doubt it). Also as with most things on the internet you know that someone knows a fair amount about something because they've frequently been proven right in the past.

I'm a pretty good poker player and I guess I'm slightly better than average at lateral thinking. Oh and probably a strong drive to learn. That'd be pretty much it.

Re: What is your talent?

I'm very good at fooling/lying/hustling people, althought I don't like to do it. However, it comes in handy in lots of situations (like exams or poker games), and I use it when I have too or when it's the appropriate thing to do. I'm also pretty good at cooking (my chicken is the shiznit, according to the streets) and I'm getting better at brawling (in a friendly manner, that is). I had a talent for painting graffiti, but I've almost quitted (getting older) so I'm very shitty now

That depends on who's playing. For me the biggest challenge I've had with attempting to play the guitar is my hand wont pysically fit around the fretboard properly. This means I can't apply nearly enough pressure to get an accurate pitch, nor am I able to manouvere my hand adequately enough to change chords. So technically, I find playing a guitar quite difficult.


I am however a talented pianist, not a skill I put into use frequently but I can if I want to.


My only genuine legacy though is probably in computers, I've spent my entire life since I was 4 playing around and modifying them in every possible way, but truth be told it's been more of a curse than a benifit typically.

I've also found I have a talent for both still life photography and moving film. Its also the direction I'd most like to go with my life, only I got curve-balled by above computer talent. Prior to that I spent 7 years in the film industry.

Re: What is your talent?

I think I am a pretty decent chess player but I haven't had a serious game since like a month (blame world of warcraft). All my exes say I am a great kisser and I know how to go down with the exception of one weirdo.

Thinking of my talents now , I think I am a rather average duder.

Also, I used to be a pretty good drawer, but due to lack of exercise all is gone.

I'm not resident here, I just show up from time to time.

GCSEs including double science and maths
A Levels chem, phys, double maths
Master of Physics, University of Oxford (I don't get a BA, we skip straight to the masters, it's a 4 year course)
Cycling proficiency award

All of the above were at top grades (ie GCSEs A*and A Levels A, and degree first class with honours) except Futher Maths which was a B, and cycling proficiency which took me three attempts.

I begin my DPhil (Oxford-ish for PhD) next Monday, in condensed matter physics, working on organic semiconductors. The QC group I wanted to work with never got funding, so I couldn't afford to take a place in that dept even though they were willing to offer it to me anyway. In addition, I've been elected DeBreyne Scholar by my college, which means I rock.

And what is more, I have a great college Dad.

Don't know but I see them all the time when walking downtown, all those orcs with rather sexy women, I guess it oftenly goes the other way around as well.

As far I can judge and remember from the picture I once saw of you, you aren't that hideous though.

Re: What is your talent?

I'm pretty good at retro games, i still own my Sega MD with SSF2, N64 with Golden Eye, SNES with Mario Kart and Killer Instinct all of which i still play regularly with a mate who comes over every week just to rerto game and i'm pretty confident i could beat most people.

Apart from PA the only other game i played seriously online was Star Wars Force Commander and i was consistantly in the top 3 on Cases Ladder for a couple of years during its peak popularity.

I have no talent that is of use to me in real life though.

I used to be good with Dhalsim/Balrog.. lack of practice though over the years has left me unable to beat even the most easy cpu opponent

I still rock at Mortal Kombat though ... it's a brave soul that challenges me to that game

I believe most people would be able to beat Dhalsim with Guile mainly because Guile is solid to break down if someone is just sitting back and countering with him, i have often teleported myself into trouble just to end the tedium of the stand off but you can use that tactic with Dhalsim against the other characters and just teleport out of harms way if they get too close. I'm a dab hand with Ken/Ryu, Zangief, Dhalsim and Blanka/E Honda.

Well I am due for a long holiday around december, so the possibility of travelling to a more civilised city is very good.

I'd also like to catch up with The General in Adelaide but yet to hear from the bastard since his move here.
