Antoine Dufour and Andy Mckee are absolutely ridiculous. I think I prefer Dufour's work a little more, though.
But damn, they're amazing.
And here I am, unable to even contort my hand into some basic guitar chords! I guess it's piano for me.
Compositionally-wise, a good chunk of Antoine Dufour's pieces, like Song for Stephen, aren't actually that difficult to play. They can be challenging to learn, but the tabiture/sheet music isn't impossible like many may think.
It's the strumming and fingerpicking style that's difficult. It's very complicated, and he enhances the resonance of the sound by "breaking the rules" a bit, tweaking with the dimensions of the body and the tapping of the strings.
Those rings he always wears play a big factor in his skip sound technique, and that's very risky for a beginner to do because it risks damaging the neck of the guitar.
I thought the thread was really funny, especially UncleSporky's graph. I just figured the mods would ban him for joining today and obviously being a troll.

I meant more that sound-wise, I prefer Dufour's work...not that I think he's a more complex guitarist with a more difficult technique compared to McKee, and therefore I think he's better, or anything.
And yes, obviously what makes his pieces more difficult to play is his technique, and not so much the tablature.

Decided to try submitting a design to the Patch Together Greek Mythology contest:
Voted! Now submit more.
Thanks! I had ideas for a minotaur design but I don't think I'm going to have time before the deadline. I suppose there's nothing stopping me from entering it in the ongoing contest though.
Yes! You should do this. I have linked to your entry to a bunch of my friends. Your next design would really benefit from another angle, I've noticed that if your entry has more than one view people seem to like it way more. Minotaur sounds badass.
I missed 80's cartoon talk on the last page, so I'm going to throw in a Gargoyles, because, well.... GARGOYLES! Oh and Darkwing duck. Good stuff right there. Also DMAC: voted!

But those are 90's cartoons! What kind of game are you trying to pull here?

I..........didn't say you thought he was better?
Not sure what your point is here.
She said she liked Dufours music better, you proceeded to tell her "well, its really easy actually" Which doesn't even respond to her musical taste.
You did what I used to do with my friends a lot and take small comments and turn them into conversation points that don't relate so you can start a discussion that doesn't exist

I was just trying to help her out cause I have a few of his pieces. I prefer Dufour over Mckee quite a bit, and hopefully I can see him play in Canada sometime during the summer!
One of my biggest fears is interviews and contacting employers about work. I've been kinda searching for jobs with blacksmiths over the past few weeks and got a few really good leads. I talked with a local blacksmith who does large scale public sculpture and home furnishings, took me about 3 hours to build up the courage to give him a call. He was actually at my show and I heard second hand from a friend who works for him that he really liked my work, so I figured I'd call him just to get my name out there. I end up talking to the guy for about 15-20 minutes about stuff. I told him I figured he wasn't looking, but I just wanted to let him know I was interested in working for him if the opportunity ever came up, and he said he'd contact me and send me and application when he had an opening, and let me know if he hears anything about other blacksmiths needing work.
Really cool. I should stop being afraid of calling people because that was one of the most pleasant conversations I've had.
Forbe, yay! I have phone fears too, even calling people I know that i've just never callled before, it makes me nervous. I'm glad your conquering your fears, I need to do the same.

Is that Jemistus, the ancient greek goddess of the holograms?

When you figure out a way to deal with that, let me know. I have the same problem all the time.

Yeah that happens to me sometimes too. Then usually I sit down somewhere, and before I know it I wake up a few hours later.

I get buyers remorse all the time. Even when I buy cheese.
But that's the last thing you should feel remorseful about.
