I am a pianist/guitarist/singer and for the moment I'm looking out for new songs to learn and play. I like pop, jazz, blues and rock(not too heavy), easy listening. To get an idea of what I play: What a wonderful world (L....

denniechantrain The problem is that in Europe or at least in the country where I am, we can't listen to pandora, because it does not have a license to broadcast here.

I'm a music teacher (guitar, piano, singing) and I teach in a school where they don't learn how to read notes, unless they really want to learn that. Most kids or adults who take classes with me want to learn specific songs. Some...

denniechantrain I very much like the song Fix you. It' s not that difficult to play on piano or guitar, but it's nonetheless a really beautiful tune. Thanks for the good tip.

denniechantrain I especially think that lust plays a more important role at specific stages in our lives. I'm only 27 and I think at my age lust is quite an important feeling in connection with love. Though I tend to agree with the above mentioned, namely that love without...

In our daily life we spend a specific amount of time observing others. It's how we learn to portray specific behavior, it's how we learn certain actions. Particularly when we're young we need others in order to figure out what to...

denniechantrain Monkey see, monky do, indeed. There's actually quite a brilliant theory around this: the theory of mirror neurons. Children copy a smile a couple of hours and days after birth, because we have in our wires (our brain) something very special. When we see...

There's this interesting theory of Norman Triplett that we tend to perform better when we're in group than when we're all by ourselves. Triplett tried this by timing cyclist when they were on their own and when they were in group....

denniechantrain Together you can be strong, I grant you that, but together everyone could be waiting for one person to make a move and finally do something. When you're alone, you realize you have no-one to rely on and therefore you will just start working. So what's the...

denniechantrain Do you (or does anyone) have any clue as to why the effect of others is so big on our own effort. When in competition we become better when we're surrounded by others. When we have to work together our efforts become less obvious. I wonder how come. Does it...

I am a proud owner of schecter, Jackson, epiphone and peavey and I'm in the market for another guitar of a different brand any suggestions. I'm thinking minarik.

denniechantrain If you can't play guitar, I think you shouldn't start with Gibson right away, because Gibson is usually quite expensive, but Epiphone, which is the cheaper brand of Gibson, could do the job as well. Afterwards you can still go for more expensive brands such as...

This year I have been listening and reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It has taught me so much and reminded of how important it is to be a friend with our Heavenly Father Jehovah God and with Christ Jesus....

denniechantrain I assume that most Christians are not stoning anyone these days, but I meant to address with that that the bible is written by people like you and me and so the bible is very time-specific (as we are too). The bible and science are (despite the article) in...

denniechantrain It is a wonderful movie. If you watch this movie, it will rip your heart out and I mean that both in a positive and a negative sense. Perhaps people who watched this movie should also try the book "One Day". Great plot, great characters and actors!
