I play guitar and cello as well. Pic is indeed one of the first things I did when I got my first cello, and I never cared if someone saw me playing like that either. Itβs not even one of the most unproper things I did with a cello either.

Yeah, when you have a couple different ways of looking at a piece of music, it really opens it up. Like, I didnβt really βgetβ the treble clef until I spent some time on the bass clef.
@Dogman15 Β
Yes. I consult for musicians and music stores, so Iβve got a couple rooms full of musical instruments and equipment. Some Iβm playing and some in storage. Letβs just say if you live long enough, you pick up all kinds of hobbies, and end up with lots of things.

But Iβm one of the least musical people in my family.

Iβm not saying that playing the cello this way is practical or efficacious. But if youβre doing a piece pizzicato, and youβre in a filk group at a convention, it can be done and you get quite a reaction from the crowd.

The fretting breaks your brain, but itβs not like thereβs a law against it.

Iβve always felt the last major scene Octavia was in (the one where she, Vinyl and a stack of other ponies ride some sort of Wub vehicle to the wedding in the 100th episode) was more of a βjumped the sharkβ moment. Or at least, certainly ridiculous
I have no idea, I think I was having one of my sleep deprived early morning comment binges at the time.

Octavia: Itβs how I play a cello. Β
Vinyl: That explains a lot.
Cool :)
Last message, lest I go off-topic: I recently made this arrangement of the Junior Speedsters Chant. This is the type of stuff I like making.

Nice. I play piano and drums, and thatβs about it. But it helps a lot with being able to transcribe music and arrange things.

Which one of you plays cello or guitar?

She was actually a shoe in for the position of vice heare. But she decided it would take away from her music time.

This makes me sad.

Get over it. She was substituting for the Laughter class. It was funny. She did nothing wrong.
I didnβt fight in βNam. But I did visit it during a trip. Your logic fails.
