1
I couldn't possibly recognize that it was going to be as important a moment as it’s become.
2
But I knew that nothing else along my life’s journey had affected me in that way.
3
And that was it— I heard the lap steel guitar and there was no turning back.
4
Hey, you! Yes, you.
5
What’s that light inside of you? Is it a dream? A beat?
6
A beautiful sound? A heartbreaking song?
7
Whatever it is, we’re here with working musicians to help you grow and share that gift with this wild and wonderful world.
8
The guitar. First of all, it's something that you can carry around with you.
9
I really, really love that about it, because I had a lot of feelings about not belonging and trying to find my place in the world.
10
So having the guitar as this very travelable companion made a lot of sense to me.
11
It accompanies the voice so well.
12
So for me it was about the songwriting.
13
It was about the singing and the guitar was just the vehicle to do that.
14
So, I don’t think the clarinet would have worked for me.
15
I started on, when everybody starts their instrument in the 5th grade, I played the clarinet.
16
I loved playing music with other people, played the flute for a little while, and then eventually moved on to the alto saxophone.
17
I think I just wanted to try them all.
18
But finally I wanted to be in a symphony orchestra.
19
So I had heard of the oboe.
20
I didn't know anybody that played it.
21
I went on YouTube and just watched video after video and player after player of this interesting instrument.
22
I mean, the rest is history— I loved it.
23
I am obviously an oboist and I've been playing for probably 14 years now.
24
I heard the lap steel played when I was very young, and it was the sound that pulled me in in a way that was a mystery that to this day I’ve been in pursuit of.
25
It's always difficult to put words to what and why an instrument pulls you in, that mystery is part of what makes it special to the person playing that instrument.
26
I have very clear memories of music finding me.
27
And I think as a as a child I was maybe I was struggling sometimes and I needed to escape.
28
And I had this shelter, which was music.
29
Over the years— so as a very young child, I played different instruments.
30
I end up playing guitar and then bass, and for me it works really well with my personality.
31
Bass is more about sort of a combination of rhythm and harmony.
32
You have to love groove, and you have to sort of appreciate the power of repeating a bassline basically.
33
I always loved meditating, and I think from early age I found playing bass somewhat like a meditation.
34
First answer, real honest: I chose the piano because this girl I had a crush on in 3rd grade played piano.
35
So I was like, oh shoot, let’s go!
36
I also fell in love with the piano, so that worked out well.
37
I was 8 or 9 when I started playing piano.
38
I was 13 when I started telling people I was going to be a songwriter for a living.
39
And it never really stopped from there.
40
I played alto saxophone for probably 10 years because I love jazz.
41
There's a part of me that had to realize you only have a certain amount of hours in a day, and if you're going to play something and play it to a professional level, you gotta triage, right?
42
So saxophone was awesome and I love it, but it just wasn't doing it, you know what I mean?
43
I think the piano is a super power instrument because all of music theory is laid out before you once you understand the piano.
44
Now, I also play guitar. It’s not as linear.
45
I can bring theory structure to the guitar because I understand it on piano first.
46
I will give credit to one of my first piano teachers.
47
Her name is Florence.
48
I would bring her a song and I'd say, I want to learn this song.
49
And she'd say, okay, first try it on your own with your ears, and then come back and I’ll show you what you should adjust.
50
And so I fell in love with the sheer process of realizing that all of these keys in front of me mean something, and if I sat here long enough, I could sound like people that I look up to.
51
Music. I love it.
52
How did I get from a love of music to the drums?
53
I think that there’s an element of patience that’s required in learning music.
54
I think drumming didn't inflame my lack of patience.
55
I had plenty of opportunities to learn piano and I felt disconnected from it.
56
I had plenty of opportunities to learn guitar— I felt totally intimidated by it.
57
Drumming, it seemed to be initially simple enough and also loud enough to where I felt an immediate shock of power and excitement.
58
And I didn’t feel intimidated by the complexities.
59
I felt a balance of gratification and satisfaction that the fact that it gave me that so quickly, it then kind of circumvented my tendency to be impatient and unwilling to learn.
60
I think when you pick an instrument, you shouldn't skip the part where you think, what kind of person am I?
61
Is this going to be a good avenue to express myself?
62
Or am I going to be just frustrated?
63
If you need constant attention and you want to be in the front of the band all the time, try the guitar.
64
I think when you want to make that choice, let's say you want to get into a band or you want to pick an instrument and there’s guitar and there’s bass and you want to decide which one is right for you, you might want to consider the element of rhythm, the sort of ability to move a whole room of people, with playing a bass line.
65
In the beginning, I just wasn't really very passionate about it.
66
Now, I pick up my guitar and I can’t imagine doing anything else.
67
It’s an outlet for me. It’s like my form of self-expression.
68
The same way I love art and photography, music is just another way for me to express myself.
69
There are guitars with nylon strings.
70
There are guitars with steel strings, all different shapes and sizes.
71
Electric, acoustic.
72
Acoustic and electric guitar.
73
They feel so different and you definitely do have to cater your playing style to it.
74
And I actually find that playing acoustic transfers over to electric better than playing electric transfers over to an acoustic guitar.
75
Yeah, it’s an exciting venture, the guitar.
76
I mean, every time I pick it up, I’m learning something.
77
I’m still learning new things every day and trying to improve myself.
78
It’s the connection. Music is a language.
79
It's a way to connect.
80
When you go to see shows, see what moves you.
81
If something touches you, you probably have something within yourself that is similar.
82
So what's your thing?
83
You probably have your own special thing to to bring as a performer.
84
Sometimes it’s an energy thing, like you open doors and the right thing will find you.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Este vídeo "Which instrument should you play? | Think Like A Musician" oferece um contexto rico e envolvente para a prática de conversação em inglês. Os músicos discutem suas experiências com diferentes instrumentos, expressando não apenas habilidades técnicas, mas também emoções e histórias pessoais. Este é um cenário ideal para imitar (shadow speak) e desenvolver sua fluência em inglês, dado que combina elementos de narrativa e musicalidade, que são essenciais na comunicação cotidiana.

Ao assistir e praticar com este vídeo, você não só enriquecerá seu vocabulário relacionado à música, mas também aprenderá a articular sentimentos e experiências, o que é crucial para uma intensa prática de conversação em inglês. Além disso, a diversidade dos instrumentos discutidos cria oportunidades para explorar uma variedade de tópicos e melhorar sua capacidade de se expressar em inglês.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

A análise de algumas estruturas gramaticais e expressões utilizadas pelos oradores é fundamental para aprimorar seu entendimento e habilidade de se comunicar. Aqui estão algumas das principais:

  • "I heard the lap steel guitar..." - O uso do passado simples para relatar uma experiência marcante é comum. Isso ajuda a narrar eventos de maneira fluidamente.
  • "...having the guitar as this very travelable companion..." - A expressão "very travelable" exemplifica o uso de adjetivos compostos e modificação, essencial para descrever objetos e ideias de maneira mais precisa.
  • "...I played different instruments..." - A repetição do verbo "played" estabelece um padrão que pode ser útil para os falantes de inglês, ajudando na formulação de frases sobre experiências pessoais.

Essas estruturas permitem que os aprendizes se sintam mais confortáveis e criativos ao formar frases em inglês, especialmente ao abordar tópicos relacionados à música e emoções.

Armadilhas Comuns de Pronúncia

A pronúncia pode ser um desafio para muitos aprendizes de inglês. No vídeo, algumas palavras e frases podem apresentar armadilhas. Aqui estão algumas dicas:

  • "oboe" - A pronúncia correta é "o-bow". Preste atenção na forma como os oradores pronunciam este instrumento para evitar confusões.
  • "bass" - Existe confusão com a palavra "bass" como um instrumento e "bass" como um tipo de peixe. Ouça atentamente para diferenciar as pronúncias e contextos.
  • "travelable" - Uma palavra pouco comum que pode ser difícil de pronunciar corretamente. Pratique a sílaba "trav" para manter a fluência.

Trabalhar nessas armadilhas sonoras enquanto pratica a fala pode melhorar sua autoconfiança e clareza na comunicação em inglês, tornando sua jornada de aprender inglês com YouTube ainda mais eficaz.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
