#132I would love to watch someone who's never heard Beethoven's moonlight sonata try this.
Re: Touch Pianist
#133I like the idea, but there's a delay. It's noticeable enough to be annoying and making it impossible to play out the pieces exactly as I would like to. It just feels like when I get in a rhythm I end up being one tick forward. Or is it just me?
i had that problem also and as a drummer I'm pretty sure I could press the spacebar with above-average steady time. I was using firefox though, maybe that matters.
I too have musical education. using osx on m2pro, tried safari / chrome / firefox — nothing helped, the delay was maddening.
"was" — because indeed, blueetooth audio was the culprit. was using external speakers at the time I tried it first. now it's flawless and extremely enjoyable.

Are you using Bluetooth headphones? AirPods have a delay that makes playing rhythm games impossible
thank you. it was bluetooth to blame in general (was using external speakers). now all delays are one.

#135Great choice of song! If you ever have access to a piano, I highly recommended trying to fumble your way through Beethoven's moonlight sonata, even if you don't know how to play piano. Not quite sure how to put it into words, but it's absolutely exhilarating hearing your own fingers produce these huge sounds and intense chord progressions. Every time I managed to find the right chord I'd get such a rush. "Oh no he di…
Moonlight sonata was hard for me, still is… because I only ever became fluent up to three sharps and three flats key signatures. And moonlight is in a key that is 4 sharps. Makes it very hard to fumble through

#136Earlier quoted context omitted.
When I started taking piano lesions a few years ago, one of the first rules that my teacher established was: "No Moonlight Sonata" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My guess is that it resembles in a way playing "Smoke on the water" in a guitar shop.
Nobody should work with a pompous instructor who decides what is / isn't acceptable on an instrument. As a former guitar teacher, I would help my students learn whatever they wanted - Van Halen, Brittany Spears, Garth Brooks, whatever. All music has something of merit if you're willing to look for it.
I mean I agree with you but I also understand not wanting to do the same fucking song done badly for millionth time.

#137Weird lag on my iPhone…maybe Bluetooth headphones are to blame?
quite probably. had the same issue on osx safari desktop with bluetooth speakers.
Re: Touch Pianist
#138On web, opening up the "choose differnet piece" window, then clicking a piece does nothing. Expected would close the window and load a new piece.
That works in Safari, but not Chrome for some reason.

Smoke on the Water in a guitar shop is annoying simply because people playing loudly in guitar shops are annoying and that's one of the most widespread stereotypes of something an annoying person would play loudly at a guitar shop (incidentally, I'd argue that Stairway to Heaven is the more widespread stereotype).
A guitar instructor shouldn't criticize a beginner student for wanting to learn Smoke on the Water, at least assuming it's in the instructor's wheelhouse—it's also okay for a particular instructor to offer a specific curriculum rather than taking requests from the student.

#140It seems like the Android version is not (yet) available despite it being advertised for Android.
I think it's the opposite. This is quite old software which hasn't received App Store updates in years. It's likely the Android version has been pulled from the store or otherwise bit-rotted.
