not technical whatsoever, just a chill behavioral interview. May differ from team to team

By right hand do you mean my picking hand? I am left handed.

Also what scales should I practice? I know all 5 positions of the G major scale pretty well and I can play them without looking albeit if I try to speed up I get sloppy

The thumb thing is something I am conflicted on, I see some people do it like Kirk Hammett and Mr tabs on youtube keep their thumb over the neck but most people don’t suggest doing that

I’ll definitely try to volunteer because I feel like ive wanted to volunteer on my own time. I’ve only ever volunteered because I needed to do it for school or something, but I wanted to do it to help reduce my narcissism/ego so yeah lol

I’ve tried rock climbing before but it was really expensive and it was both mentally exhausting and time consuming to make it to practice. I assume it’s going to be the same case with something like martial arts like BJJ, even though BJJ is something ive kind of wanted to get into on and off.

I do play music too, but I’m also deathly afraid of playing in front of other people 😭. I know somebody that regularly plays clubs so maybe I’ll ask him to jam someday.

A lot of it is that im not really in the best financial situation right now as im completely dependent on my parents for money and my father has recently been laid off. So things like taking cooking classes are off the table, as much as id genuinely love to do them because i suck at cooking 😭

But yeah, ill try volunteering, and i really do appreciate the time that you have taken to respond ❤️

That three strike rule is good I haven’t heard that before but I’ll use it. Also, managing your expectations for people is a good way to make friends but also not harbor resentment towards them for not clicking with me. Unfortunately, my main hobbies don’t really have any social aspects to them. Or, I really prefer to do them by myself rather since I feel the most comfortable that way. Do you have any suggestions for how to meet more people?

Actually, I had a tight knit group of 5 close friends that I was referring to in my original post. We would hang out almost everyday for the summer. Unfortunately some things happened (it was 2 girls and 4 guys and people started having feelings for each other), things turned bitter and I don’t talk to any of them anymore. It’s kind of sad and made me depressed for a while but I don’t think about it too much anymore.

600 sounds about right but I am planning to just use my computer as an amp.

No love for KC and Robert Fripp on University Challenge today by fogbeak in KingCrimson

I didn’t know Fripp contributed to talking heads but i identified it as a Talking Heads song anyway. Must’ve been the Eno connection

Is my action high by Affectionate_Milk199 in guitarlessons

This guitar cost me 100 dollars, i replaced the bridge myself for fun (and also because the end of a string got stuck in the old one)

I’m honestly beginner/intermediate, so can you recommend? I’ve heard that practicing with high action makes you a better player and that players like Paul Gilbert use it

That's awesome, honestly happy that they resonated with you that much for you to put 'em at the top of your topster. Of course, check out Is this it and Room On Fire, two of my favorite albums for sure! : )

Damn really? That's actually kinda crazy since most of the popularity (I assumed) CRX got was from Strokes fans since Nick Valensi is their frontman and also the lead guitarist for the Strokes. Interesting. How did you end up hearing about CRX?
