Memento Mori: Male Reader's Daughter x RWBY

Chapter V: Path to music

Alissa: "Try humming it." I did so... when I finished dad's and mom's jaws were open.

Velvet: "Did you just..."

You: "...hummed the whole song?"

Alissa: "We told you before."

Velvet: "Yes but it's something else when you only say it and when you actually hear it."

You: "Sylvia you have a special talent... not even your mom can do what you did."

Sylvia: "Really?"

Velvet; "However humming it and actually singing it is a complete difference." I looked down.

Sylvia: "I know."

You: "Velv, she's at least trying."

Clementine: "Sing it." I tried to but since I knew people hear me I got a voice crack.

You: "Again."

Sylvia: "But dad!"

You: "Sorry for forcing you but if you wanna be a singer you gotta overcome this... so try again."

I did... even though I was hesistant at first... I got another voice crack though it arrived later than before.

Velvet: "We won't judge you in this studio.. and nobody else can either if you'll be in a studio."

Vixen: "They're right."

Clenentine: "Try again." I did so... it was too much for me... I started crying.

Alissa: "Stop it... can't you see you're hurting her?"

You: "You're overwhelmd with the judges you got... clear your mind Sylvia... don't think about anything but the way you want to sing it."

Sylvia: "I-I'll try... but... later."

You: "Alright then... now since you'll try later how about that guitar lesson."

Sylvia: "Oh sure."

Velvet: "And we, girls can try to make the music what do you say?"

Vixen: "Actually... can I learn to play the drums?"

Velvet: "Drums? What happened to piano?"

Clementine: "We both can play piano... and I'm the better one."

Vixen: "Ha you wish!"

Alissa: "Stop fighting!"

Velvet: "You both say you're better than the other so... how about a little contest... me and Alissa here will be judges... you'll play one same song and who will have it worse will have to learn the drums."

Clementine: "That sounds great!"

Vixen: "Prepare to be defeated, Evrett!"

The rest of the conversation got muffled as I left the studio with dad. He brought his guitar and we made it to my room.

You: "So... first things first you need to learn the chords like A-dur, C-mol and so on."

Sylvia: "Alright. How do I start?" He took his guitar and placed his fingers on the top of the neck... and played.

You: "This is A-dur... remember how I'm holding the neck... that's very important."

Sylvia: "That's what determines the chords?" He nodded... then grabbed a piece of paper and drew some lines on it...

You: "Those are the guitar strings." He made a point in specific cases. "And those are where you should hold the strings in order to play the chord... and these are the most used in many songs... try some of it." He gave me the guitar... I placed the fingers on the neck just like it was on the paper.
