Yay, I get to learn how to use Final Cut. :? I have no burning desire to do so, but I need to make something that resembles a proper rockvideo and no one else is going to, so... :ugeek:
Final Cut is not super difficult to learn at all. Powerful software but pretty user friendly.

Snaxo, FCP is pretty easy and intuitive. Just look up 3 point editing and you're good to go. And learn how to colour grade a bit

Well it's a bit easier to pick consistently closer to the bridge as you can avoid the inherent floppiness of the strings' movement closer to the neck. Those big strings move a lot, and depending on how you are playing it is easy for the floppy movement to mess with you.
this seems to be working a bit better.
Oh yeah Cameron tune that shit down, acoustics sound better in low tunings imo.
I've had it in D standard since yesterday, which was a smart move. BUT: Now I have to sing a whole step lower, as I cannot find my capo..

You can also try a ghettocapo with a pencil and some burly broccoli-style rubberbands. Some guitars that works well enough, on others it is hard to get enough pressure to make a clean "open" string sound.
Ha! That is pretty clever.. But I think I might just go ahead and buy a capo today!

Final Cut was very simple to work with- it's not dissimilar to a DAW, at least for basic editing tasks. Certainly a hell of a lot easier than trying to fudge something together in iMovie.

I love playing piano, but being expressive on it feels 100x harder than on a guitar/mandolin/banjo/bass

I've long felt the same way. It's a machine, and nothing about the tone is imparted by the player. It's much harder to assert any sort of individuality on a piano than it is a stringed or wind instrument, where any two players of comparable chops given the exact same instrument will sound different. You have a lot less to work with on a piano; dynamics and timing, that's it.

agreed, hard to get your vibrato on while playing piano.

blurgh. Wasn't going to drink tonight. Ended up drinking. Had to drive home because of nowhere to leave my car without getting a ticket.
