SeniorLady shares her Suzuki Qchord playing & singing, and a few Qchord how-to's as well..
She has been playing the Qchord since June 2013, and improvement is really obvious from the first recordings in the summer of 2014 to more recently (in her playing, singing and recording!).
She also put together a Qchord Home Page here: qchordnotes.wordpress.com/ with more info about the Qchord not in these videos.

Just as we were finishing our stream last night, a first-time chatter arrived and asked for 'something Sinatra' and I chose My Way to close out the set.

I love this song - it often brings a tear - and I'm so happy to sing it now with my new microphone.
Marilee & Qchord - "The Mummers' Dance" Cover with NEW MIC!
Просмотров 52Месяц назад
Loreena McKennitt brought us this song in 1997, and today on my Twitch stream I unveiled a brand new microphone with it, and I'm just so happy with the improvement in audio! I actually did two corrections today: 1. The new microphone - a Shure Beta 58A stage mic. 2. I discovered a button on the mixer that I should have pressed years ago. It was boosting the volume on the Qchord too much, and I ...

The Lord of the Rings film in 2003 featured this wonderful song by Annie Lennox et.al. I love that the Qchord's New Age rhythm works as well as it does for this pretty piece.

Closing Time comes from the late 1990s rock scene, but I've reimagined it here using the Qchord's Bossanova beat, and I really like it! I hope you do, too.

A viewer here requested this sweet little song, and I sang it live on last night's stream. It's my one and only Qchord song that uses the 'Raggae' rhythm.

Cleaning Qchord Chord Buttons
Просмотров 1096 месяцев назад
I hope this informal video helps folks see what it takes to open up a Qchord to clean the carbon membrane buttons. NOTES: If you wash the membrane, be sure it is dry before re-assembly (electronics and water don't mix). AIso, as the membranes get old, they can tear at the base of the buttons, so be gentle there. I usually place the Qchord on a towel for this, and that helps to keep it from movi...

As lovely as ever ❤ 👏🏼 😊
So good. Thanks for this one.
Oh, thank-you! This song's words mean a ton more than it did when I was a young'n.
Great! Now do "Wild Honey Pie". Heheheh.
whoah!!!!! i loev this lady!
Just BEAUTIFUL!
YAY! It feels so good to hit those high notes without drama or strain.
Hey I just wanted to say I’m a fan and your videos and website has been immensely helpful over the past years as the Qchord and recently Om108 have become a major tool in my composing. I don’t comment much but thank you!
Wowee! Thanks so much for letting me know that you're out there and enjoying my musical journey: That encourages me to post more often. Congratulations on the Om108!! May your music shine!
Sounds so good with the new mic! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful song. The most accepted interpretation of the song is a father bidding his beloved son goodby as he leaves for war.
That totally makes the most sense to me, and is so poignant!
I appreciate these uploads. I really should play more with my Qchord.
I've never heard that one before. Great tune and great job on the cover. I'd like to hear "Danny Boy" sometime. What mic are you using now?
What an amazing coincidence! I also did Danny Boy yesterday and have it recorded, and debated which song to share, choosing this one... I'll pull it out and bring it to YT today 🤗. The microphone is a Shure Beta58A for about $170. I tell you what, there are so many mics to choose from, my head was spinning with all the specs 😆
Here ya go, Danny Boy :) ruclips.net/video/g6OA_l8TJWY/видео.html
What pedal are you using for harmonies?
I am using the Boss VE-2, plugging the Qchord in where they suggest inputting a guitar.
Thankyou Marilee for a very informative session on the Omnichord. As a senior male looking for an instrument to learn for backing my singing, a new Om108 should do the job after hearing your utilisation of the strum pad and should be coming home soon.
Huzzah, the new Omnichord! It will have features the Qchord lacks (and vice-versa), so I hope you have a ton of fun discovering how to bring your own style into the music. I'm so glad the video was useful! Thanks for letting me know.
Hi! I'm sorry I want to ask... I have song cartridge now. Is there some way to use it as a rhythm cartridge?
Hi Arthur! There's no way that I know of. Each song on the song cartridge can be 'tweaked' a little (you can change the pitch with the up/down function buttons, for example) but they are going to supply the chords for you for the song requested. The two rhythm cartridges that I bought are only that: Rhythms.
Awesome job. Quick question. I just got myself a Q Chord and Im wondering how to change the strum plate voices. Could you help a fellow Qchordian out? :)
Sure! There are two ways: The first selects from the 10 that are shown in the "Strumplate Voices" set of buttons just left of the strumplate. Press the Up (or Down) Select button until the red light illuminates next to the one (of those 10) that you want. I'm doing it at around the 17-second point in this video to select "Vibes" or Vibraphone for this song. The second way gets you to into the 99 total voices available. Press twice the Melody Keyboard button (found in the Chord Mode set of buttons) to get into 'keyboard mode'. This converts the top row of chord buttons to function keys. Press F# Major to activate the 99-voice selector and then use the Up (or Down) Select buttons but now look for the number to change in the display. You'll want a list of the voices for this, so here's a link to the User's Manual, where the voices are listed in the back: 1drv.ms/b/s!AldgdpLz_2euwQBCZwLX4pne_V0K?e=r5FuMR After selecting, Press Melody Keyboard again to exit that mode. To return to the set of 10 presets, Press Melody Keyboard twice and F# once and you'll see the red light again.
God love ya ma'am. This is better help than the hour I spent on Google last night. I appreciate your time. Thank you. You've earned my subscription for sure!
@@Telephantastic YAY! I have several little 'how-to' videos here and I hope they help, too. Happy Qchording!
Missing attending your streams! Happy this is up ❤❤
Ah, Callie, you are missed as well! If there's a song from my list that you're missing, let me know and I'll put a recording of it here. 🎶❣
I ❤ this song
The perfect tempo for this song. Always enjoy work work, keep it up.
Thank-you!
"Your work". I guess I shouldn't try typing until after coffee...
I really appreciate the sharing of settings.
Oh, thank-you! I believe you are the first to mention it, and I was hoping it helped.
@@SeniorLady It does. I'm still learning the quirks of the QChord.
Loved it! Great song done well. Miss you my friend.
It is so fun! I wish there was more than one verse.
❤❤❤
I was singing along! How fun!
Love your content and Q-chord info. Just fixed some buttons on mine! Thank you. Any chance you would post 3 little birds?
Hi @carlesque! Good job fixing the buttons on your Qchord!! "3 Little Birds" is one of the songs I sing, but I haven't captured it to RUclips yet... Thanks for the nudge!
I just wanted to let you know, @carlesque, that I'll be live on Twitch.tv this evening (6pm Pacific time) and I'll be singing "Three Little Birds". Feel free to pop on in! You don't need an account to listen and watch - only to chat.
I sang "Three Little Birds" last night. Here's a link to it on YT: ruclips.net/video/ZA2Tpqx8DvI/видео.html . Thanks!!
Yes I love this content this is so inspiring I’m 19 and so excited to learn my Q-chord
Omg please continue posting as long as you continue playing this is such good help I just got my first Q-Chord
Congratulations on your new Qchord adventure! I'm really glad this is helpful and I hope you have tons of fun making music.
What a nice song! It’s a good reminder to appreciate the little things. You are really having a great time with your music my friend!
It has been such a lovely way to put love in motion and connect with good folks ❤
It sure was nice to have seen you again last Monday. We are moved into the new place. Neat song, really like it.
Yes! So glad you are moved in and ready for a new chapter - and glad you like my song 🥰
🥰😍😘💘🙌🎶
So, for a much quicker explanation, here's a video that's less than 2 minutes long: ruclips.net/video/0HUEIVHSkTs/видео.html
What a great video! When you talk about alcohol, please state that you're talking. About 91% isoprophyl alcohol. It's great for cleaning those types of capacitive junctions. dries quick and clean.
Oh, good catch! (I don't drink, so I forget that there's any other kind, LOL!)
Nice tutorial. Reminds me that my cart tray cover's holder plastic disintegrated and I had to like solidify if with super glue
Thanks! My cartridge tray cover is long gone, so good job super-gluing yours. 👏
I actually just started this game a few weeks ago. I made it to Kakariko Village and many shrines under my belt already...but I only have freed one divine beast at Zoras Domain...Ruto
Excellent! I wish I could play it again for the first time. I hope you are having loads of fun with it.
This video is so sweet. I just got a qchord so i found you through your quick tips, but got sucked in with your talent. i love to see you're releasing beautiful covers. This is one is my personal favorite because of how personal it is. Thanks for sharing!
I love this one, too - it really became special to me. How exciting you have a Qchord! I hope you are having fun with it and I hope my videos (the quick tips and even the longer how-to's) are useful for ya.
You have such a beautiful voice! I admit I succumbed to some very unmanly tears listening! Thank you for this!
Oh my gosh, you've made my day! Thank-you!
Liking the harmony, sounds swell.
Oh, thank-you, Dan! I'm still using the Boss Ve-2 for harmony. So glad you steared me onto it.
Are you filming this, from inside of a dry well or somethin’ what’s with the echo?!
LOL - I have learned so much since making this video about better audio. I wish YT had tools to remove it, but I don't think it does. I hope the info was helpful to you in any case.
I love it! I have a Chord and I've been trying to figure this machine out. I'm a software engineer, but still find the settings complex! haha Any tips or good videos? Maybe you could make one about the different settings?
Oh, mercy yes! Well, I think they're good - they're mine 😆. (I'm a retired software engineer myself, btw). This is a link to a set of short vids that I did to help: ruclips.net/p/PLL1qmHDRJ0zK5e2GKE6ZtO7E5AE0zXS-y and here's a set of longer ones that go a bit more in-depth: ruclips.net/p/PLL1qmHDRJ0zJ6sc1r48EfHzhOCDpu3XOx And if you have any questions, please feel free to ask - I love to talk about the Qchord :) . I'm playing live tonight (most Fridays) on Twitch.tv/seniorlady at 7pm mountain time, if you'd like to chat.
🙌🏽 GG 🎉 Always so lovely ❤
Very nice intro that ties in theory with fun. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Only thing --- why all the reverb while you are talking? Thank you again.
I have learned a lot more about 'tech' since putting this video online (like too much reverb)... I'm thinking maybe I need to re-do this video sometime. Glad the info was still helpful for you ♥
i love the reverb! makes it so unique and more enjoyable to listen to! @@SeniorLady
Thank-you! That's really nice to hear. @@beatrice114 ❤
How fun to “see” you! Have a sweet Christmas!
Oh, so good to see you, too! Merry Christmas 🎄
Love this! So good to to see and hear.
Yea!!! Thanks! It's so good to connect with you 🎸❣
This is fantastic! You are a qchord guru. Really miss hearing you. Do you still do twice live?
I do! This recording was from Friday's live stream over on Twitch.tv/seniorlady.
❤❤❤ merry Christmas ❤❤❤
Wow your handwork is amazing. Love the song
If there’s one thing I wouldn’t expect too see on RUclips, It would be An Elderly Lady Playing Video Games lol Keep it up You’re Doing great ❤
Yeah, I never thought this would be in my future :D , but it is a LOT of fun!
@@SeniorLady I can tell you’re having A lot of fun! Absolute Hidden Gem on RUclips ❤️
HUYYYYEAHHHHHH
how do you tune a Q Chord ple
Hi John. The Qchord doesn't need to be tuned (it has no strings that go out of adjustment), but some folks want to control the tuning to fit nicely with other instruments, and it can be adjusted by 1/4 tone at a time. It's a function key setting. Press Melody Keyboard to get into that mode, and then Use the Bb and F buttons to raise and lower the pitch 1/4 tone at a time. Is that what you needed? Did that help?
