i really like that song from schindler's list. i think its the theme song and like um.. itzak perlman plays it. does anyone know where to get the sheet music like.. for free? thx alott! (link)
i would tell you, but good and free generally dont go in the same sentence when it comes to sheet music. your best bet is to just buy it, find somebody that knows how to play it, or just learn it by ear.


I am wondering what some good mood songs are? I'm not a real artsy, deep and into the moment kind of person, but when I'm calm or sad I like listening to soft music. Different languages are good too. What are some perferable and relaxing songs (like Dido and Enya etc.)?

Thanks a bunch (link)
check out Brand New's album called Deja Entendu


Is there any way that I could get the vocals off songs? :|

And have it stay that way. Is there any programs I could download?

I know on some media players, there's... an karaoke option or something but that's not really what I want. (link)
the only thing i could think of is the karaoke thing. if you move a song to an audio program, its not in different layers so you cant just seperate it from the rest of the music.


The song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco came on the radio today and I noticed that they beeped out the word "God." Why is that? Is God not supposed to be on the radio? (link)
yeah, that being vain crap. they dont beep it out where i live though


Hey.. does anyone know of any good acoustic-like emo bands? Here are some things I really like:

The Scene Aesthetic
The Early November
Jack's Mannequin
Acceptance (not a HUUUGE fan but i like them)
Making April

Those are some, if anyone has any suggestions of bands similar to those, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks! =] (link)
not reaaaally emo, but Defiance Ohio only uses acoustic stuff

check out all of their songs at their website, defianceohio.terrorware.com


Im in a rock band with some friends and where working on a new song, we have all the music written but cant think of lyrics. We want it to be like a feel good party song, much similar to that of Poison's "nothin but a good time". If you can help me with some lyrics that would be pretty narly dude. Thanks, $ean (link)
its spelled gnarly man >_>

and honestly, if you dont write your own lyrics, or cant think of anything, just play instrumentals for right now.

having other people write lyrics for you is the lamest thing in the music industry, period.


i know guitar strings all depend on the person, but what is the best type of string for a begginer on an electric guitar?(light,regular,ect.) (link)
start out with light strings, which are either .09 guage or .10 guage. the guage is varied by the high e string, and i believe its measured in mm. anything above .10 would probably be to heavy for a beginner.

honestly, ive been playing for 4 years, and on my electric, i still use .10, just because i likee feel, and it makes bends and such easier. however, on my acoustic, i use .12 because since it is heavier, it has a much better tone, but its more difficult to play



my friend recently died, im supposed to chose a song to play at his funeral

any songs? (link)
Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton, even though its very cliche'

my condolences


Any tips for novice drummers (good books)? I have a basic 5-piece set but no china cymbal, I think it's called. Is that normal? Also, would a wire brush be important? Thanks much in advance! (link)
do you have a crashride cymbal, or a crash cymbal and a ride cymbal? that should be your first up grade

not having china is normal

wire brushes are nice for acoustic sets and stuff, but you wont really need them since youre a beginner, theyre cheap when you need them though, maybe 20 bucks


I need help coming up with names for my band. We are in the process of learning instruments, however and do not have a sound as of yet and like rock music. (link)
wait until you write songs first, then name your band


I'm planning to play in my school's idol competition but we can't find a bassist. I was wondering if a keyboard can replace a bass. Also, is there any site where I can fine bass NOTES??? Not tabs or chords, I'd prefer notes since you can't really do tabs on a keyboard.

Thanks (link)
yes you can replace bass with a keyboard.

as for the notes, i cant tell you a site, but the lowest C on bass is 1 octave below middle C, so it shouldnt be too hard.

if that sounds weird, just play an octave below the guitar player and itll be normal.


I want to start playing the harmonica. If you have any tips on how to get started, which harmonica to get, and which book would be great for beginners that would be wonderful. Thank you so much. (link)
just get a super cheap one at wal mart or something, theyre actually decent quality for such a cheap price

i dont know about books, but if you decide to stick with it just go to a local music shop and they should be able to help you out more


i was thinking about getting limewire. can anyone give me their opinions on it??

thanks!! (link)
its great, a lot better than kazaa and bearshare and stuff, and it has no spy/adware

i used it all the time


I was thinking about getting an iPOD nano. But, I have one question. If I do get one, do I have to use iTunes? Can I use Windows Media Player, or Limewire? (link)
if you have WMP or Limewire, you have to transfer your songs to iTunes to put them on the ipod

so yes, you need to use it, but you dont need to download your songs all over again


whats a good site for guitar tab? (im a beginner) (link)
i agree with ultimate-guitar.com

mxtabs.net is good, but right now its down.


Does anyone know of any online sites where I can learn how to play my guitar for free? I would really seriously appriciate it more than anything! (link)
