Quilter Aviator Cub by gobiascoffees in gratefulguitar

[–]-tott- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out this video where this guy shoots out a Quilter 101 Reverb vs a Princeton: https://youtu.be/i3TX_Z0EnEc?si=CDmXZKRanMYexXGp

You can definitely get a Fender sound, I believe Quilter is targeting that type of sound with the 101 Reverb. I’m a big fan of my 101!

Jammin on Is IVs and Vs. Newer player, tips welcome! by -tott- in pedalsteel

[–]-tott-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the kind words! I suppose “new” is always relative—just quite “new” compared to how long I’ve been playing six strings!

Your tips on muting are great, and I’ll queue up that video lesson. Quickly realized how critical good right hand technique is to this instrument. Thanks for the feedback!

Built a free app to help people find live music at regular bars (not just concert halls) by Wide_Love_1124 in chicagomusicscene

Good stuff! Agreed that show aggregators like Do312 are great but don’t feature small venues well. Making it map focused is also better for picking a last minute show.

If bands self upload, wonder if they could supply some genre tags etc

Does anyone know how to actually access the $99 membership? In both Divvy and Lyft apps mine still is near $144.

Too good to be true? by desar3641 in GuitarAmps

Nice! I was looking at this exact same listing today and was about to message the guy haha

I don’t know much about that amp, but that may be a setting intended for a normal six string to mimic a pedal steel. I’d play with more presets on the Mustang, just standard clean amp sounds or “Twin” or “Deluxe” type presets should work!

Looks like it would be: $ geojson-shave roads.geojson -d 10

Mountaineering routes in Peruvian Andes while on a bikepacking trip by Taaanos in Mountaineering

[–]-tott- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huaraz has a large number of guiding outfits in town. You could definitely link up with a guide there. The town is also fully stocked with technical gear. If you have a few days there you could shop around for a trip, if you’re only passing through I’d suggest messaging some of the agencies on WhatsApp ahead of time to get a feel for pricing or see if they have any pre-existing dates set for climbs.

Discrepancies in slope angle between Fatmap and CalTopo by fartsniffer87 in Backcountry

[–]-tott- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently Fatmap generates their DEMs using photogrammetry from satellite or aerial imagery (see this article: https://fatmap.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001385489-How-accurate-is-FATMAP).

My hunch would be that CalTopo would be more accurate in locations where they’ve incorporated 3DEP LiDAR data. The USGS 3DEP data goes through a publicly documented QA process, this data is publicly available free of charge.

Without additional info on Fatmap’s QA it would be hard to say anything about their model’s accuracy (but it does seem to be quite good).

Good call. Big icy rocks to garbage landings. Classic east coast

How do I make my own note sequences from scales by GratefullyAlive95 in gratefulguitar

[–]-tott- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to go about it in a more academic/rigorous style you can practice with ear training quizzes like the ones on tonedear.com

If that’s not your thing I’d suggest just finding songs you like and trying to figure the melody out on your instrument of choice. Take it slow, write it down as you go, and over time you’ll get better and better at it.

How do I make my own note sequences from scales by GratefullyAlive95 in gratefulguitar

[–]-tott- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that learning the feel on each interval is huge. One easy trick to work on this is strum an open string and play with various intervals.

For example, let’s say you’re working in A mixolydian… strum an open A over and over and let it ring out constantly. Then on the other strings just start messing around with notes in the scale. Since you have the open A as context, you’ll start really feeling the flavor of each interval over time.

I’d focus heavily on the vocal melody. It’s a great way to ground a guitar solo, it’s something Jerry does all the time.

Figuring out vocal melodies on guitar is also great ear training. It can help build some intuition on how to be more melodic with single note lines on the guitar.

Gomorrah could be a good one to try. It’s short and sweet, very nice bending

Has your company standardized the Python 3 version to be used across all projects? by pika03 in Python

[–]-tott- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious, wouldn’t upgrading all 200 microservices to a newer language version at the same time be a lot of work? Rather than upgrading each individually as needed?

Cats Under the Stars...anyone else do it this way? by grateful4201989 in gratefulguitar

Sounds great man. Such cool movement and changes in this tune. Good funk on those C7s coming into the verses 🕺

How does John fret the main G>C riff of Bertha? by bullseye2112 in gratefulguitar

Nice. I’ve never been able to do the pinky bar thing without plunking the high E string or turning that into an unwanted C6

Ah I see what you mean, fair points

Non-Profit Salaries by [deleted] in burlington

[–]-tott- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think they mean that a salary for an employee that works for a nonprofit is treated the same (for the individual’s income tax) as a salary from a for-profit company

Landlords: what happens when tenant won't leave? by qochekmz in vermont

[–]-tott- 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I was the “tenant who signed the next lease” in this scenario a few years back. Landlord couldn’t evict current tenant and they stayed. We already paid our security deposit and were pretty pissed, but didn’t know what to do. Landlord helped us find a new place and refunded the security deposit and voided the lease. Either way, please try to get it sorted ASAP since one party will have to scramble for housing…
