@trallion – I know, compared to piano, my violin sounds so bad. But I’m in love with it played by people who actually know what they’re doing, so I put up with it. 😛 Do you have a favorite composer for solo piano?

@holly-anne – Thanks, I will! Those are exactly my sentiments. xD Every time I hear flute I melt internally (especially that one clip in Rivendell from The Hobbit) and it’s basically the same for every instrument I see. On top of that, I want to buy a grand piano one day. So if you get a money tree, do let me know where you got it! It would be so helpful. 😛

Lol, yes, I hate bar chords. My long fingers help, but you know. Weak constitutions and all. 😛 I haven’t tried using a capo before…it sounds like a miracle. *sighs dreamily* Hmm, I love almost everything by Debussy, and I’ve recently warmed up to Chopin. There’s also this piece for solo piano by Glinka and Balakirev called The Lark. It might be my soul-melody. 😉 I play it every day and drive my little brother crazy. xD

Have you played any classical guitar music, like by Giuliani or Fernando Sor?

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer – Ooh, I’ve never heard of Austin French. I’ll go listen to him. And I’ve heard some of Owl City, which was pretty good, but to be on the safe side I’ll check out the instrumental stuff. 😉

@kayla-skywriter – Wow, that’s a nice variety! I tend to just play classical stuff, or soundtracks if I’m in the mood. I forget if you’ve answered this already, but do you play steel stringed or nylon?

I can play chords, if they’re easy ones or they’re written out in notes, like for classical pieces. But if you told me to play an B minor chord, for example, I’d have to hunt around for the notes. 😛  I play classical guitar music, which is a lot of finger stuff. Right now I’m going through Fernando Sor’s Studies, and I recently finished one of Giuliani’s Etudes. Have you ever tried classical guitar?
