thanny XIII Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I always tell them that involvement in my music could jeperdize the reltionship, which is more important. At least thats what i tell her I knew a girl that was into biamping,I sure do miss her.-ButcherNburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Brown Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You don't. Accept the challenge!! If you can learn it that way, your good to go! Better yet, play things that you know that she can sing with. Life is short.

picker Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I agree with Ross; if she is indeed a sweet woman, indulge her. Sweet women are hard to come by, and letting her sing to you costs you nothing but time. If it gets too annoying, just remember that there could come a time, for a lot of reasons, when you'll wish you could hear her singing to you again... Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcadmus Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ask for sex. She'll either agree (5 percent chance) or run from the room (95 percent chance). If it's the second, problem solved. If it's the first, who cares about the song? "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy c Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 If you can't figure out how to tell her, you've got serious relationship problems which I can't help you with.

Tim C Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 here is the childish but fun solution (probably a really bad idea to actually do this): the next time she's trying to figure how to do something (perhaps programming a vcr clock) come in the room and start singing suggestions to her, that would be irritating as hell, she'll get the message. but all childish and stupid solutions aside i have to say that jcadmus's idea is not only funny it's pure genius. it's win-win no matter how it works out. hmmm...

JonathanD Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I 3rd Ross and picker, It might be annoying at first . However you can chane how you feel about the situation. Thats something I think a lot of people ignore in life, you can always change how you feel about a situation. My soon to be owner, i mean wife, understands that I am a cranky bastard if I am interrupted because I throw a huge fit like a baby Sometimes she wants to sing and that is ok and we have talked about it, she just cant try and make conversation because that breaks my concentration and we classify that as being needy NOT ALLOWED IN THIS HOUSE. But we are really honest about things that might make other people cry. for instance I was listening to the myspace link of a band I recorded with, her first words were "this sucks, this sucks bad." She meant it, and without malice. She just wanted to let me know the singer sounded like crap and the music was not that great. BTW, people at this forum couldnt give me that honesty, and with good cause. Some people are so fragile that they will break, or break themselves, if their feelings get hurt. So to sum it up, how can anyone here give you advice, if she is a somewhat insecure person it might really hurt her. If she sings well, and knows it than its less likely to hurt her feelings. DO NOT try and practice when she is not home and so passive things to get her to stay away when you play. Tell her one way or another but if you try and give her the slip she will know (women yeasssh) and it will probably hurt her worse. I suggest you just tell her that sometimes you want to learn on your own for whatever reason you really have. Or that she is distracting because you want to look at her, and touch her maybe she will take this really well and let you into the 5% margin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2fat Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 What do you mean people at this forum couldn't give you that kind of honesty?

SavedByJaco Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 When she's singing play with her, Ask her what kind of rythem she would like, you got a song and a girl.... That what I did with my last girl friend (in my mind)....so long ago.... I'm gonna go cry in a corner now response to someone saying the bass was a spinoff of the g***r SavedByJaco:the bass is not a spin off of anything, it's a hybrid. Like on Underworld, the guy becomes a mix between the Vampire (G***r) and Werewolf (Upright Bass) and totally kicks ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLoy Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 You've answered yourself with your question: Tell her that you don't need her to sing for you when you're sitting and learning a new song. If she goes to pieces over something like that, then as Jeremy said, you have relationship issues that probably are more appropriate to be discussed on another forum.
