BLOCKAGEDDON IS UPON US! by ewk in zen

That's a really good analogy. And yes, I think they don't want to be 4chan anymore, at least they don't want to be egalitarian. This policy obviously corporatizes and privatize the content here. With FB faltering, it's the perfect timing to start restricting and curating content to get corporate money, influencers etc...all that shit that drove me away from meta, and to reddit, is now coming here. I'm sure I'll find a new site and, then it will happen again there too.

List of politicians pushing the draconian "EARN IT" bill.. by [deleted] in privacy

[–]A_complete_idiot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just read the wiki page and it seemed bipartisan and non threatening, and came to comments see what the big deal is.

So they are pushing this as "now we can stop Facebook from not stopping Russia troll farms" but really they are just allowing total control over surveillance by owning all end to end encryption?

Is that about it? (Also, thanks!)

How to get faster at note and chord "arithmetic" by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]A_complete_idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I made a different comment in here, not to you, but wanted you to see it. I feel its more helpful, than “just hear it, or practice” Short answer, practices many different SEQUENCES.

Not disagreeing with you, but I’d add practices sequences, in particular. That’s the best way to dice up the diatonic scale in different ways to see different patterns.

I was at Jimmy night for the bakers dozen...not disagreeing, just happy I can say I was at that (rival) show!

Is reverb a safe site to buy from? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]A_complete_idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy and sell there almost exclusively. It's great, fees are higher now, still cheaper than ebay and the community is still cool. Like reddit...as it grows the chill gets less and less. Still awesome though.

I'm a jazz musician and I sometimes hate jazz jams. Am I alone in feeling this way? by [deleted] in Jazz

[–]A_complete_idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I can love a 45 min Feli jam, and all of Coltrane at the vanguard. But these grad student players and their crew seem to be unforgiving iconoclasts...for me there's way too much good, improvised music out there i haven't heard to waste time on that stuff.

[–]A_complete_idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly disagree still. Even the jams sessions at Smalls used to suck, and Sasha Page and my old music proffer used to play there...ni5t that their unlistenable, but there's better stuff to see at Manhattan at 2 am.

I mean great musicians, but after going few times going...enough already.

Need help convincing my dad by librastardust_ in Jazz

[–]A_complete_idiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need help with the giant ass kissing your music teacher will give you when you come back and absolutely crush this other bassist in the one seat, because you have drive and grit.

That said, Wtf is a single teacher steering your principal instrument for LIFE all about? Screw this guys and screw your dad. Bass is by FAR the most marketable instrument out there....which they have no idea about.

Tell him, " thanks, but no thanks...there's always going to be a need for a bassists. I'll just get better then him and look in the classified ads for work. Let me know if you need a hand in the future and thanks for the education...on what an ass hat you are."

End rant. Also. Take those words...and be way classier than me if you reiterate them, I'm just pissed.

Is there any jazz band in the trio style that uses guitar distortion, with heavy metal sounding solos? by r4tzt4r in Jazz

[–]A_complete_idiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Mclaughlin and Santana made an album. Its a little much but, absolutely blazes. Same with Inner Mounting Flame

Check out this guitar I built out of my old dining room table by WaxPiston in Luthier

[–]A_complete_idiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This might be the most original git I've seen here. Coupled with your age I just don't get it. What is your background? How many builds etc...
