¡Hi my YouTube friends!
Welcome to a new video
Well... now I'm done with the stuff I had to explain, inform, etc...
So now we can start out with some different kinds of vlogs... so....
I really had no idea what I was going to record today... I'm almost didn't even record this, but...
I have to get used to talking to the dumb camera, so I might as well practice... :v
I usually have no trouble talking... it's actually the opposite. I have trouble shutting up
You don't hear me talking all the time, but... I mean
if you meet me in person you'll see I'm pretty bad at
keeping my mouth shut
It's not that I don't have stuff to say
but rather that I have so much stuff I want to speak about, it's hard to put them into a video
Today I'll be talking about one of the things I see in the comments of my videos the most
Something that seems to pop up often
When you guys leave positive comments about the work I'm doing
and it's that a lot of you guys right stuff like
You're so talented ¿How do play so many instruments?
Paulo!
That kind of thing... that's
well it's actually very flattering!
and I'm really glad you guys notice my effort
But it is fun for me to see how a lot of you guys think this is
a matter of talent
Like if I was born with the ability to play instruments...or the ability to sing
and it's not at all like that
Let me explain.... If I think back to when I was in highschool
I knew a lot of people that liked to go out and party... or that spent a lot of time outside
Meanwhile I would spent my time doing other stuff
when I was younger that would be playing video games... Playstation games and that kind of thing
But after a while I started playing the piano
and I got a little obsessed with playing the piano and music in general
and since then I was really interested in learning how to do things right
so I've invested a lot of time to music since then
So you can get an idea of how much time I spent on music when I was a kid
I can tell you that when I was in highschool
around seventh grade
I would come home around 3pm
and I sit down to play the piano or the keyboard
And I'd continue playing till dinner time... around 7pm
and after that I'd keep on playing
till I had to go to bed... not that late
8:30pm... maybe 9pm... 10pm tops
Because I'd get up early the next day to do my homework
that I hadn't done by then...
I was like 13 years old
and it's been a long time since then
With the piano, that was how I got started to get into music
I really enjoyed playing it
and I didn't only enjoy playing... stuff like
some other guys that played guitar, and
they played songs... like punk songs that were popular then
and that got people's attention. Lot's of people enjoyed that
But I wasn't interested in that very much
Instead I really likes spending time playing exercises
and getting my fingers moving faster, or having more control over them
or understanding how the piano worked at a musical level
that always intrigued me
I got really excited when I improved in that sense
and I soon got excited with other stuff... like song writing and music software
learning about midi and how keyboards work
I was already singing back then, but I didn't actually sit down and practice
Singing was something that I actually got interested in, because of...
emotional issues... I felt that I had to sing to
release some emotions and that sort of thing
but I wouldn't actually sit down and study singing
I do remember screaming to a Shaaman song
and I hit a high note I usually couldn't reach
and I went like WOW... I learned to hit that note that I couldn't sing before
and I think that became kind of my addiction
as a music student
and it's the fact that I'm always trying to do things I couldn't do before with music
You can actually see that happen in the channel
and that's because when I got started I didn't play guitar
I did know some guitar stuff, but more of the rhythm guitar kind of thing
I hadn't taken the guitar to actually learn how to play it
It was more like learning how the guitar works so I could write guitar parts
for the guitar players in the bands I played in
So I actually couldn't do that many things with the guitar
I still can't do that much,
but I do have fast fingers... so I can abuse that
since it's easier than learning to make the instrument sound good
I did that with the piano when I was younger too
instead of learning how to make the piano sound nice
I was learning how to play faster, more difficult parts... or more complex stuff,
and I really had fun working on that sort of thing
I first did that with the piano. Later on I started to do it with my vocals
It was actually a long time later that I
actually started to study vocal technique and how it works
And these last couple of years you can see I have been improving my guitar skills
if you take a look at my cover of Happy
that's from 2 years ago
it was the first cover I uploaded in 2015
I didn't even play bends at the time
I had never played bends on the guitar before that
it was still something new to me
it was my first time playing a bend
while I also played the string bellow the bend I was playing
and I remember it hurt pretty bad trying to record that
But when I finally recorded it I was like...
Wow... great... maybe I don't suck at playing guitar as much as I thought
eventually I did sit down and practiced guitar
I haven't had any teachers
but I do have a lot of very good guitar playing friends
and I had always asked them for advice before
I remember in highschool when I wanted to understand how the guitar worked
I learned some excercises
So like I had done with the piano, I did the same thing with the guitar
so right now I'm 27 years old
and I got obsessed with the piano when I was 13
Since then I haven't stopped learning about music
After that the only period that I didn't study music as much was...
when I was studying music in the University...
Yes I studied in a University
At the University Los Andes
I was always very good at school, so I got a scholarship
so college never cost a thing
which is a big relief... because Los Andes is the most expensive University in Colombia
but that was the time when I made less music
also when I learned the least about music
it was the time that I was furthest away from music
When I was on my first semester we had our first appearence at Rock al Parque with Sigma
The year after that we played with Kiko Loureiro
that's now the guitar player for Megadeth
also with Rafael Bittencourt
we played a several big shows with Sigma
but we never actually released that much music or albums with the band
That was almost my only band during that time...
while I sometimes got to having 11 bands at a time when I was in highschool
and after I graduated I went back to having a bunch of projects at once
Until I got started with the channel
So it's very funny to me to see people writing comments like "you're so talented"
I actually sucked really bad at playing when I got started....
and I sucked when I started signing metal
I wasn't any good 13-14 years ago
But I sat down and practiced
and put the time and focus in
and becoming addicted to playing fast parts and that sort of thing
that's what actually worked for me and helped me learn music
I know that for someone that's just starting out it seems like a lot
"no, this guy started when he was still young"
that's true, but you can actually do it at any age
the difference is that I've done it with several things
I did it with the piano, then with singing
and now I'm doing it with the guitar... we'll see how that goes
So if you guys are interested in learning to play an instrument or learning music
then you should do it. It's totally worth it
I don't think I'll ever regret spending so much time learning to play guitar or piano.. or singing
Those things stay with you forever
While I do sometimes feel regret for spending time playing a game I really liked
or maybe I feel some remorse
when I sit down a watch a whole anime and waste a bunch of time
I don't actually think it's wasted time... but I do feel a bit of regret
while any day I spend playing guitar, or piano, or singing the whole day
I never feel like I wasted my time in the slightest way
I've even not done other things in order to spend time playing
If you are getting started I recommend you
start off when you have a lot of time available... or when you are willing to put in a lot of time
and I say that because this kind of thing
that's related to using your body, using your muscles and that sort of thing
it's actually more helpful if you spend a month practicing very, very hard
and maybe taking it easier after that
and then working a lot on it again
that's actually better than spending an hour every week on it for a year
If you in a little bit of time every day
it's a good idea, but if you spend
a lot of time practicing for several days in a row, you'll see progress a lot more
and it's mostly about that day to day persistance
it helps a lot at getting your fingers going
having more flexibility, and developing muscle memory that's so important in music
but it also depends on the goals you aim for
fortunately I was interested in very fast and very difficult music
so when I connected with that, it let me to learn how to play fast, and difficult stuff
other people with different music in mind... like the punk guitar player I was talking about
he got to play what he wanted to pretty fast
and when you reach that point
you don't have that much more to learn
and you obviously always have more stuff to learn
but when you can't clearly see what you're missing
it's a lot harder to get better
cause you don't know what you need to get better at
If you work on that stuff I worked on like getting faster
You basically can either play it
at the speed you're aiming for
if you can, that's great. If you can't you've got to practice more
So for me that helped me get better and try to improve all the time
I also mention this because a lot of teachers here see you playing fast
and they start saying "playing fast isn't everything"
and obviously it's not everything, but it's still something
and probably there are some things that are harder to learn to do...
like playing with "feeling" that people say about guitar playing
"wow that dude plays with so much feeling"
that's very hard to explaing
specially to someone who isn't a master at an instrument yet, or doesn't get the basics yet
while playing fast is pretty easy to explain
that's the line... you have to play it at this speed... do it
for some weird reason teachers here have
that need to
make you feel less about what you can actually do
lucky for me I didn't have that many teachers
so I did in a way get lucky
So... my camera will stop recording any second now... so I won't record anymore
I hope I can make a video out of this
if you're watching, then give the video a thumbs up
if you like this sort of thing... if you want me to speak more often leave a comment bellow
If you have a specific subject in mind
I know you'll start asking for vocals stuff
I'll do vocal stuff
I have to think that through a little bit more and organize it a bit more
maybe next week I'll do something like that
That's it for now so don't forget to follow me on social media
don't forget to subscribe to my channel and I'll see you in the next video
mata ne (see you next time)
