Lloyd G asked:


I am working on a project in school, and I would like to look at the arrangement for this particular song. I'm doing an indepth study of Punk Rock, and I picked this song to research because I feel it touches on a lot of the subjects that Punk tends to focus on. It also has that hard/fast/loud sound that I feel typifies Punk. Anyway, I need the sheet music, for all instruments, and guitar tabs are useless to me, because I know how to read music, and I don't need tabs. It would be great if I could get a score of all the instruments, but I haven't had n e luck finding that. Anything would be a big help, thanks a lot.
I can read music, but I can't write it. Even if I could, the melody is pretty complex. I tried sites like Musicnotes.com, they offer the guitar part, and tabs, but nothing else. I'd like to get all the parts in written format (Vocals, Guitar1, Guitar2, Bass and Percussion.)

Music Reading

Angela M asked:


I think people think it's "cool" to be offended by something. I guess what set me off is reading fast food workers are "offended" by an ad that portrays Kevin Federline, Mr. Britney Spears, the laughingstock of the entire music industry, as a fast food worker. In my humble opinion, get over it! I've worked fast food, in restaurants, whatever! It's a crappy job(and underpaid, blah, blah, blah...)! Thank god I don't have to do it anymore, but I wouldn't be offended if someone made a commercial featuring say, Britney Spears, as an accounts payable clerk(what I do now) who's daydreaming about being a super star. Gee, that's like real life to me. Are you saying people who work in fast food want to be there? Yeah right. Nobody wants to WORK...

I just think it's become chic to say you're offended by something, whatever it is, and however inane it is to say you're offended by it. People have too much time.

I got an i-pod today, but we can't figure out how to put music on it!
I had an old mp3 player for a while and i was riping cds onto the computer onto windows media player, then syncing the music onto my mp3 player, well, i tried to do that with my i-pod but when i disconnected it no music seemed to have been downloaded onto the i-pod!!

i then read the directions and went online to download the new versoion of the itunes store... but my computer is stupid and it won't download itunes store so i can't figure out how to download music to my i-pod... i just want to get the music from cds that i have, not buy music off the internet... its too expensive to do that!!

so, what do i do??
i need help, and fast!!
anything will be appreciated as long as it helps!!

Music Theory for Beginners

Jordan asked:


I'm looking for guitar tabs for myself, my Dad plays guitar and I'm hoping to learn how to. I am a musician, I play brass (Baritone and Trumpet) so I know how to read music and I'm familiar with terminology. If anyone knows of easy beginner songs to play, please let me know. I understand that I have to start at the bottom, but hopefully I'll learn faster having a musical background.

taurusphere asked:


Does anyone with a good grasp of music know about ChordSongs by DrawMusic? If musical tones can be made with just bars (as it is with ChordMusic) then what is the benefit of learning to read traditional sheet music? Is there a big difference between the two? Can I find popular songs presented in this ChordSongs type of format rather than just regular sheet music? I'm really lost about this. (I do plan to take music next year, but in the meantime I still wanna learn what I can- but without hassling with the sheet music- just yet- if possible.)

MY MISSION: TO FIND POPULAR HIT MUSIC THAT'S IN AN EASY TO READ (FOR TOTAL BEGINNERS) FORMAT SO I CAN STUDY THE HITS AND LEARN SOME OF THE ELEMENTS (RHYTHM/BASE/BEAT/ETC) THAT MAKE A SONG A HIT IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD- THEN I CAN PRACTICE IN THAT STYLE ON CHORDSONGS.

This is a poem
written by a teenager with cancer.
She wants to see how many
people get her poem.

It is quite the poem. Please pass it on.

This
poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a
New York
Hospital .
It was sent
by

a medical doctor - Make sure to read what is in the closing statement
AFTER THE POEM.

SLOW DANCE

Have you ever
watched kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to
the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a
butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading
night?

You better slow down.

Don't dance so
fast.

Time is short.

The music won't
last.

Do you run through each day

On the
fly?

When you ask How are you?

Do you hear the
reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie in your
bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through
your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so
fast.

Time is short.

The music won't
last.

Ever told your child,

We'll do it
tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see
his
sorrow?

Ever lost touch,

Let a good
friendship die

Cause you never had time

To call
and say,'Hi'

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance
so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't
last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You
miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry
through your day,

It is like an unopened
gift....

Thrown away.

Life is not a
race.

Do take it slower

Hear the
music

Before the song is over.

live their life to the fullest, since she never will.

She'll
never make it to prom, graduate from high school, or get married and have a
family of her own.

By you sending this to as many people as
possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name
that this is sent to, The American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name
to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people! So I know
that we can at least send it to 5 or 6. It's
