Newbie Question

Actual information:The curved line and the squiggle can both mean a roll.

Vague ramblings:My impression is that the ~ is easier to use 'cause it's already right there on the computer keyboard and whatever they use to print sheet music(from the classical turn). However,I don't know what I'm talking about,so I could be completely wrong about that.

Thanks all for the info!

Of course, I'll have to dumb down the music for now as It's a gonna take me a wee bit more time to play an acceptable roll! :roll:

Rolls!!! Ah, they were the bane of my existance for quite some time (as anyone here can probably attest to). I'm still not perfect...in fact, I still have a hard time doing a roll on anything other than an F# . But if you want to learn how to do them, I absolutely suggest Bro. Steve's site:

Don't just jump to rolls though. Start at the beginning. There's a lot of knowledge to be had there.

A bit of a funny story (and one that makes me look good as well, which is always important ). I was practicing in the evening, and going through the tutorial on Bro. Steve's site. I think I was working on cuts and the tune "The Rambling Pitchfork...good tune, btw. Anyway, my husband likes to make fun of me while I practice and after I play the tune on the site so I can practice by hearing it, he always says "Wow, I didn't know you'd gotten so good" (much snickering and guffawing on his part). Well one day, he said that right after the music had stopped, which the normal snickering, until I said "That wasn't on the computer, that was ME! Just goes to show you that you DO get better with practice! Plus I think he takes me more seriously now, which is always a plus!

So...there is hope for the future! I will be diligent! My kids,surprisingly, haven't started complaining (as they have in my sister's case) that all I do is, "eat, sleep and play the whistle".

How's that for a sentence?
