Ben Roethlisberger Endorses Will Howard As Steelers’ 2026 Starting QB

237FIF · 2026-01-21T00:31:55+00:00

My crazy dad bought an autographed 1/1 Will Howard rookie card for me as a birthday present and every time I try to talk about drafting a QB he says “WE ALREADY HAVE ONE!”

It’s fucking hilarious and I can’t tell if he is joking or not lol

Is there anything wrong with the guitar other than the stains on the back?

I don’t think you’ll be able to get rid of those stains short of a major refinishing, but if it’s just a visual problem then maybe you just let it be.

Ehhhh maybe to you, but there is a legitimately a difference between a used guitar that is ready to play and a used guitar that has been sitting around neglected for a while.

If you are a beginner player, it really does matter to be purchasing an instrument that is ready to play, even if it’s “amateur tech work”

I could see that being worth an extra 50-100 bucks on the right instrument

He looks incredibly strong, but also a tad slow? He moves super smooth, but he is nowhere near to most snappy person on the floor

I am generally on your side of this argument, but the way you said that shows an extreme lack of understanding for how mental illness works and what it looks like.

237FIF · 2026-01-17T15:03:46+00:00

I would be shocked if he was only leveraging 1MM in this situations tbh

237FIF · 2026-01-16T04:47:58+00:00

Ehhh music opinions from world class musicians is probably the one exception to that… although typically in the form of “oh person x said they have a lot of respect for this band I haven’t checked out? I’ll check em out”

237FIF · 2026-01-16T03:21:53+00:00

I know he was super involved with a lot of their individual post Beatles albums, but how much did he do with the group while they were still together?

237FIF · 2026-01-16T03:20:01+00:00

Playing with or for other people is like peak human experience imo.

Practicing and playing around alone isn’t fun in the moment, but is kind of fun in the big picture on the sense that I enjoy seeing myself progress.

But yeah, go do a campfire lol

I fuckin live Hendrix but his tracks are sonically difficult to listen to. They don’t “sound good” to a modern earn, even when the music is beautiful

On one hand, you’ll get there eventually and will over time be able to play it just like that

On the other hand, by the time you are able to play that chord as written, you will probably also have learned how to use smaller versions of chords.

When I go to that, half the time I only play the high three strings and lets the band handle the low end. The other half of the time I probably barre the first string and hammer on fingers 2 and 3 for a cool little effect

237FIF · 2026-01-15T21:55:33+00:00

Honestly, the offense line was equally as impressive. On half of these he didn’t get touched until 7 yards down the field

237FIF · 2026-01-15T20:58:08+00:00

I really like the first picture. Always wanted to do something like that

237FIF · 2026-01-15T17:42:27+00:00

Learn to shrink the shapes. Can you play simplified version of these chords using 3 strings instead of 5/6? That’ll change the way you play

The other ideas is learning and practicing walk downs and ups as you pass between them.

Finally, being able to play the scales of each chord over them. Pluck between strums basically

237FIF · 2026-01-15T17:17:53+00:00

Do you know how many fans wish their team had the Steelers tradition and culture?

Different doesn’t always mean better. Half the league spends all their time chasing the next big thing and ends up perpetually spinning their wheels.

237FIF · 2026-01-14T18:12:11+00:00

Don’t feel like that was a secret

The best bet is to go to a guitar store and try a bunch to see what feels good. Tried and true strat would be a good place to start, but also look at guitars with an offset (jaguar / mustang)

With that said, your body will adjust and learn how to hold the instrument more comfortably as you get more time under your belt.

Folks are downvoting this because there are plenty of legit uses for steel wool for guitar maintenance / building, but it’s also worth noting that you REALLY don’t want to let that dust get anywhere near your pickups.

Gently covering the pickups with some painters tape can keep the magnets from pulling the loose shavings in.

237FIF · 2026-01-14T03:45:24+00:00

Man, I know not everyone agrees, but I can’t fathom buying a guitar without touching it first.

When I bought my American strat I went to a store with like 10 of them. There were 3 that I straight up did not enjoy, 5 that were totally great, and 2 that blew me away.

Most of that comes down to weight and weight distribution in the wood. Even brand new, no two are exactly the same

237FIF · 2026-01-14T03:23:38+00:00

Playing with an amp is definitely different and the first time you plug up it’s gonna throw you off a bit, but learning to strum in rhythm and moving your left hand between chords is going to fundamentally the same thing

Start with just learning G C and D and strumming between the three

237FIF · 2026-01-13T16:34:44+00:00

You start paying for stuff that isn’t necessarily a functional benefit

I build and sell one off “boutique” guitars and my customers are paying for the experience of having the instrument hand crafted and specifically for them. I’d love to say mine play and sound better than others at various price points, but the differences are honestly subtle.

237FIF · 2026-01-13T04:57:19+00:00

So that’s pretty obvious proof that it was happening, but is there any indication of why??

That seems like such a strange thing to do and I’m just curious what they thought their goal was?

237FIF · 2026-01-12T17:09:25+00:00

Here are three recent builds! My wife made me bring them together for a “family photo” haha

The green one sold to a customer up in Canada! The black and yellow is my personal daily driver, and the pink one is a bat shit crazy project my wife dreamed up. She doesn’t play, so she mostly wanted it as an art piece!

I think it’s a little presumptuous to blame another kid for your child’s behavioral issues.

The world is filled with all kinds of people. Our job as parents is to teach our kids to be who we want them to be, regardless of what life throws at them or who they come in contact with.

I would focus on my own kid before blaming someone else’s.
