Ask Lyra

Another song for you.

Interesting and tranquil, but not really my style.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: but remember, "its not how many notes you play, but what you do with the notes you do play", Rick Emmett

That’s true.

But ripping it up like that sure is something!

I’ve seen that percussion technique before, too. I wish I could do that on my lyre.

In~security!

Now I’m not sure if I want to post this recording or not… all these videos that have been submitted to me are really good…

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: thats because you can't play 22 notes on one string, transition makes it harder

Granted! That makes me feel a little better.

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: magic! i learned that song in 9thy grade. p.s. how do you make the links to the right?

Links to the right? You mean on my sidebar?

I take some text, highlight it, and use the hyperlink tool (the one that looks like chains locked together). Then I find the link I want to use and paste it into the box that opens up and hit +insert. Then I hit the HTML button (which opens up a new window) and copy the section that has the code for the link.

Open up the customize window and hit info, then paste it into the description!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: the other song from him i know is tall fiddler. its a verry fast one

Faster than that?! How in Equestria can you humans do that?!

diamondmint asked: Dear Lyra, Woo! I'm so glad you can make it! It's not till later though ((I don't think the rest of them are even online)), but we will come get you later. -Mint

Oh, okay!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: well since you hate hearing about stuff like that i digress, tommy emanuels really good i only know 2 of his songs

I’d never heard of him.

I looked him up and he sounds very talented! And it looks like he still plays!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: welp, if i didn't have my 331 beretta, i'd be in a hole right now.

I take it that’s a gun.

So you used it to defend yourself? Well… I guess anything can be used offensively or defensively.

A tool is a tool. The hoof gives it direction.

diamondmint asked: Hey Lyra! Trixie wants to go to the spa, and I figure it's more fun to have a bunch of ponies go rather than just a few. You interested? It's free btw, and I would love to have you come. You seem more stressed than usual. Just let me know when you can. - Mint :3

You know what? Sure! Just let me finish up a few posts and get this recording uploaded and I’ll be out the door!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: yep, budgies a great band, the power trio i mentioned earlyer but don't be sorry, i move to a more redneck area of us so i'm kinda rich seling what every redneck needs to be true idiots, guns

I seriously want to just sit down and play some Contra to that second one you sent!

I’ve heard about guns; they sound terrible!

jmg1234-deactivated20140425 asked: k, im back. it was quite a while ago, i was assulted in an allyway.

Oh my Celestia…

I’m… I hate hearing about things like that… I wish things like that didn’t happen…

I’m so sorry…
