Hey Everyone, Listen To Me Suck At Cello

God only knows why I even uploaded that.

You aren't that bad. Seriously I tried playing a double bass. I cannot use a bow!! And I think I heard you swearing at some points hahahaha.

terriblecanyons 02.02.2009 09:54 PM

I've been playing since... I wanna say December? I've kinda hit a plateau when it comes to learning the cello.

joe11121 02.02.2009 09:55 PM

Since December 2008? Wow for 2 months that's really good.

acousticrock87 02.02.2009 10:07 PM

You cannot plateau in 2 months. It takes that long to even realize you've plateaued. You are still progressing steadily, I'm sure.

terriblecanyons 02.02.2009 10:08 PM

I dunno, the fact that it doesn't have frets just makes me want to not even play anymore, because if you put your finger even slightly off place it sounds like a steaming pile of shit.

joe11121 02.02.2009 10:13 PM

yeah, that part sucks.

pbradley 02.02.2009 10:17 PM

Serious song for Danny!

terriblecanyons 02.02.2009 10:18 PM

Yes. It was very serious.

pbradley 02.02.2009 10:19 PM

I liked it. It was a cover? Of whom?

oh god

phoenix 02.02.2009 10:52 PM

cello makes me think of all those hideous compulsary school concerts I needed to attend at private girls school. and minging girls in dresses all playing cello with their legs open.

double bass is so much more wonderful. sounding and in appearance.

but, good luck, keep practicing.

Everyneurotic 02.02.2009 11:06 PM

i rather spare us the embarrasment.

samuel 02.02.2009 11:28 PM

I like your voice!

StevOK 02.03.2009 12:31 AM

Bring it up a couple octaves and that's me playing violin.

terriblecanyons 02.03.2009 12:32 AM

Haha. Glad to know I'm not alone.

fugazifan 02.03.2009 01:17 AM

you got some nice tones.i can see you becoming good at it.
and you have a good speaking voice

terriblecanyons 02.03.2009 03:41 AM

Thanks! I've always been kinda self-conscious about my voice...

pbradley 02.03.2009 04:05 AM

Your vocal delivery on "Garbage Day" was pretty compelling which is part of why I liked it.

terriblecanyons 02.03.2009 04:14 AM

I'm uploading a britney spears cover soon.

terriblecanyons 02.03.2009 04:24 AM

lol it's up

ploesj 02.03.2009 09:35 AM

you aren't that bad, seriously. i've heard a lot of learning cello (or violin) students over the years and you're definitely among the best ones.

a kid just starting the violin is the worst sound in the world.

not very related: i always thought a man playing cello looked a bit weird. anyone shares this thought?

Glice 02.03.2009 12:34 PM

Do I get any points for saying BWV 1007?

Obviously, you're not the best Cellist, but a bit of practise, you'll be grand. People are such pussies about these things, you just have to stick at it. I LOVED the most awesome cover ever.

floatingslowly 02.03.2009 02:20 PM

I want to click, but I'm afraid of being rick rolled into watching an invasive rectal probing.

I think that should be grounds for banning you

akprodr 02.03.2009 02:25 PM

Oh, and don't let the lack of frets bother you.

(that was supposed to be a joke, if it wasn't clear)

that was a nice belch there. you should develop a standup comedy act where you "play" while you make jokes. i'd pay to see that.

i give you an 8 for the belch.

the performances are funny, and i appreciate the commentary; it wasn't a waste of time like i feared.

GeneticKiss 02.04.2009 12:00 AM

I like how you talk on your recordings

Most people wouldn't do that

terriblecanyons 02.04.2009 12:46 AM

Haha sweet. Yeah. It's cause most people SUCK AMIRITE

samuel 02.05.2009 07:18 PM

The Britney Spears cover is brilliant. The beginning burp and "let's get er done... if you will" simply made it for me! And again, I really like your voice.

terriblecanyons 02.05.2009 10:26 PM

hahaha, I thought the burp + famous redneck reference would reel in the britney type... or just cause some lulz at most.
