my favourite part is when you lose the holistic mystique behind even the simplest songs, because you know how they work, but then you gain an appreciation for the more complex stuff that baffled you or left you cold beforehand.
The knowing smile that comes with knowing how to play songs.
I want to learn some delta blues, slide slide slide time.
I got an acoustic guitar for Christmas, but I haven't made the time to learn much yet, and the guitar thread here is a bit intimidating for a true newbie.
You can do it easy peasy. just go to guitartabs online and learn the songs you like to listen to, thats how I learnt and improved, unless you like heavy metal then you're pretty much fucked.
this post pretty much sums up my 8 years career of playing guitar.
I can play some Mastodon tracks with a lot of practice, that's about the top end of my face-melting ability.
Pftt, playing fast is for people that aren't good enough to write.

that's not necessarily true. speed is one of the devices in a musician's repertoire like any other, and it produces an effect like any other.
also there's nothing wrong with building your facemelting skills if it's not at the cost of broader musical knowledge and ability.
there's something really really cathartic and satisfying about busting out a really fast solo, whether it's in the style of blues or thrash or whatever.
Hmm, we should make an online collaboration project between all of us and become a supergroup!
I still want to make a thread that's basically a cover "contest", where every week or so a new song is posted and everyone does their own cover, alone or as a group, in whatever style.
Also, buy a slide. Six bucks for a good brass slide that will make you feel like you live in Nevada.
If I printed out a document that read "Why does everyone just want to hurt my feelings?" to the communal printer on this floor and waited a few hours before picking it up, would I be breaking company policy?
They told us not to leave sensitive documents lying around.

This sounds pretty cool actually, I would mos def partake.
Some days I just don't have any work - I'd be bored stiff were it not for the internet
Oh, hey, Janson. How's your snake?
Cerb is 210 grams now. He's also starting to really kill the dead mice. Getting more aggressive as he gets older, which is different than what I expected.

Hmmm, I don't think I'm going to bother with the pub today. I think I'll go home and do some baking instead.

This is interesting, because there's the same "I can play faster than you" sort of competitiveness in classical music performance too. But teachers try to discourage it. Once I learned this piece and practiced it to the point where I can do a little facemelting, and my teacher was like, "Don't play it that fast, it just sounds like you're faking it."

Eh, waaay back in middle school I tended to play everything fast. There were a few of us who did so, and the instructor put us together for an ensemble. Sadly we never really did anything with it.

I rationalized my inability to play fast by saying things like, "I prefer musicality to speed," and judging people harshly that could thrash but couldn't write or compose or arrange.

i think there is that kind of competitiveness in every hobby or occupation. the machismo element is more played up with electric guitar than, say, violin, i would imagine, but it's still there.
i can't play all that fast, since my scales kinda suck, but i can do some good blues improv.

Or I have eaten something wrong. I'm not sure.
Guys this is my last day in Seattle.
Man, I dunno how I'd procrastinate at work if I didn't have internet.

I like MC pee pants the best.

Sorry, it was so easy. I'll kill myself now.
..... Unless you're baking pints get to the pub you sorry excuse for a binge drinker...
(I actually approve of your baking, far better than the pub)

It'd be great if he got a fortune cookie that said the same thing.
Hey Incen, up for some Chinese food?

Oh Drez.
Sure, if it's near the downtown or capital hill area. I have done my major traveling for the week.
Walked at least sixty and maybe closer to a hundred blocks yesterday.
The other night some woman was yelling "You're a pervert!" for like ten minutes. At like 1am.
Aw, now I feel bad. Think you can make it to the North Dakota area of Seattle?
Sliding doors??? sleepless in seattle???
You are Mr RomCom.
(I couldnt think of a romcom with pervert in the title)

Holy shit that's a great idea.
ND was annexed by the great city of Seattle back in '62. I thought everyone knew this.
What do they teach in Irish class?
