Welcome back.
You know what it is.
r/lingling40hrs.
The most talented, and artistic,
and wholesome Reddit community.
With 305 people who aren't practicing.
Oh, but we're technically one of them.
Yeah, so it's 307 right now.
- Yeah. - Technically.
No way.
That's so cute.
Dude.
The bird is like, "I'll handle the black keys."
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - "Don't worry about it."
"Let me go."
I love how it's just singing as well.
Brett: Yeah.
And then it's like waiting for the hands to move
before it moves as well.
- Yeah. - So cute.
That's so cute.
I actually want to have a bird.
Dude, I know some birds you can take outside and they just...
They fly but they come back to you.
That's pretty epic.
- Yeah. - It's like, "Pass this message on."
- Like, back in the day. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You just like...
...scroll, the bird just...
Or like Harry Potter.
- Yeah, the owls? Yeah, that would be so cool. - Yeah, owls. Yeah, yeah.
I've always dreamed of that.
Just having like a flying animal....
Yeah.
...relaying my messages.
- Oh. Can I just say, I hate the first half of that meme? - Oh, no.
"When you're sad, you understand the lyrics."
"I get my peaches from Georgia."
Oh, I'm so sad. I understand the depth
of these lyrics.
Meanwhile, like, opera is like...
Some German.
I'm pretty sure I'm sad, but I don't understand the German.
Yeah, yeah.
"You killed my cousin!"
But I do like the second half of this meme a lot.
This deep despair of these black holes of eyes.
It's like, "Help."
So there's three.
And it's trying to lock into four.
That's so good.
That's very true.
It's basically like that TikTok.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Of the girls banging on the door.
Eddy: Yeah.
Yes, they were geniuses, actually.
Yeah. Yeah, I love the comments.
"They're just doing polyrhythms. Like, Messiaen... Stravinsky."
- It's like... Yeah. - I'm like...
Can you do a four against three?
It's pretty tricky.
Oh, you do three, I'll do four.
Yeah.
One, two, three.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three...
Still got it!
Yeah.
Doing it together is hard.
Yeah.
You know why I can kind of do it?
But I still can't do it while playing?
Second movement, Sibelius.
Yeah.
- It's like, four against three. - Yeah. Four against three, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I had a lesson with Hilary on that piece. She just roasted me.
She's like, "Pass the peanut butter..."
"Pass the peanut butter..."
- Or something, I don't remember. - It's really hard to do actually.
Because, also, in the Sibelius one, it's not every beat.
It's like, imagine this but like,
- some of these are missing. - Yeah, yeah.
- Some of the four is missing, some of the three is missing. - Yeah.
But I... Yeah. And most people don't get it right, right?
- I didn't get it right. - I didn't... Yeah, most recordings they just kinda...
Take expressive liberties.
- I think for my livestream I took a lot of liberty as well. - Yeah.
I tried, but it was just...
- It's so hard. - Didn't get it.
That's right, and we made a video about it.
- So... Have you guys seen it? - That's right.
- It's pretty cool. - It's still pretty cool.
- Yeah. - I want to hop on it now.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Yeah.
I want to pluck the string-
Dude.
The cellist's just sitting on the bridge.
Do you think the bridge is like razor-sharp?
- Like in real life? - Oh, that would be so annoy-
And what is the strings made of?
Actual strings?
Aluminum.
Gut strings.
Imagine someone's there like, steering with a fine tuner.
Yeah, and just...
I can imagine the amount of people out there that's like...
"What is all these Ling Ling jokes?"
But they want to play it cool. They're like...
"Oh, yeah, yeah."
Ling Ling's been around for a very long time.
I want to be Ling Ling.
Yes.
- I want 1/40th of Ling Ling. - Eddy: Yeah.
- Wow. - Wow, that's actually really cool.
Your drawing is so...
- ...cool. We like it a lot. - Wow! So cool.
- I like how they used the lighting as well, for the Holst collection. - Oh, wow.
Amazing.
Approved.
- You draw better lighting than our studio lighting set up. - Yeah, light... I know.
- Let me do my hair so I look like... - Dude...
You guys make us look better than we actually are.
Brett: Thank you. Really appreciate it.
Yeah, I know, right?
Ooh.
- No way. - Oooh!
- Ooh! - Do I always go paper?
Did you know this?
Brett: No, I don't.
- Do I always go paper? - I actually don't know.
Wait, look at that one.
The one... That's where you're like...
F***.
Like...
Do I always go paper, you always go scissors?
I do always go scissors.
- My reaction's always scissors. - Same, my...
I love this compilation.
Who went through and did this?
Dude, even Hyung was like...
"Bruh."
Yeah. "Bruh."
- I'm gonna do rock now. - Now it's gonna be a mind game.
- He's going to do rock, all I'll do is papers now. - Yeah.
Oh, my god.
You actually look like someone, like, that could exist.
Yeah, wow.
I feel like no one could actually just look like that.
That doesn't look like a human being.
- But this I can kind of imagine. - But your fringe is better than mine.
- Yeah. - But I like...
- Like a little thing sticking out. - Like a thing sticking out in the front.
That's crazy. How do you do this?
Edwina and Brettina.
Nice.
- Repping the TwoSet Apparel merch. - Good combo.
Brett: Okay.
True.
- Okay. - That's true.
That's true.
They are.
That's really smart.
Could use this to teach.
Yeah.
I guess you better yawn the subscribe button
- and hiccup the like button. - Yeah.
Half his face is covered, like, "Heh heh."
- "You don't know!" - Yeah, it's like, "You don't know." And that glow in the back.
Just that fiery background like...
"You sure?"
It's like... Opens the book, it's like...
"Welcome to hell. Your hands will go through hell."
Is that how you spell locrian?
- Very nice. - Wow.
Dude, I never learned my modal...
- …names. - Me neither.
I think I memorized them once.
- For exams. And then... - Yeah, yeah. For the exam, right?
Somehow, in my mind, just disappeared.
Oh, that's so cool.
Dude.
Oh, it's Groundcloth.
Oh, Groundcloth!
What's up? We missed you.
Wow.
You know, I still have the book that you made us.
- Oh, yeah! Yes, still have it. - That you gave us on...
Was it the Taiwan tour?
- But it's one of many prized relics from touring. - The most...
I miss touring.
I remember one of the concerts with Hilary.
I think that was my birthday?
And you got a cake, right?
- Yeah. Somebody gave us a cake. - Yeah. Someone gave a cake. It's so crazy.
I was like, "Wow!"
I don't even remember my birthday.
Oh, dude!
Shacha sauce.
Whoa!
I can't believe you noticed that.
Dude, that's detailed.
Ugh.
Is it funny that the first thing I noticed was not...
the length of her fingers?
- The nails? - But the nails.
- Yeah, I noticed the nails too. - You can't play piano with that.
Wow.
But it's also hand span.
Yeah, it is true.
- It's not just that- Yeah. - It's the palms, as well. It's how wide you can go.
And it's also with violin, right? Like...
Long fingers do help but...
- Proportionally, they could be a problem. - Brett: Yeah.
If it's not the right... You have to work around.
And like, getting in your way.
Yeah, it gets in the way.
But that is... big hands.
Yeah.
Dude, that's epic!
Wow, welcome.
Only one year younger than me, yo.
Welcome, u/Dadofex.
Welcome to the most talented subreddit ever.
We hope you have an epic journey ahead.
Eddy: "Adult All-in-One Course."
That's awesome.
I'm glad you're not using Simply Piano.
Yeah, don't... Yeah, just don't...
Eddy: Yeah.
Huh.
It's pretty funny.
It's like, "Huh?"
Yeah, it's so true.
I mean, to this day, I still forget.
Is it technically string or percussion?
- 'Cause they also hit... Yeah. - That's true. Yeah, they also hit the string with hammers, right?
I always thought it was more percussion.
- ...is the top comment. - Yeah.
And someone goes...
- Extended technique. Extended technique. - Yeah.
But who cares? I mean, piano's piano.
Piano's piano.
- Yeah. - It's like in a league of its own, so.
- Yeah, it's pretty much a league of its own. - Yeah.
Alright, guys, that's it for today.
