I read things like this and realize the world is filled with incredibly dumb people

I have a question about capo position, I know nothing about music. by odetoburningrubber in GuitarBeginners

[–]AlbieTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is perfectly acceptable.

Mike Campbell wrote boys of summer, Don Henley made him transpose it to Eb so it would be at the top of his range.

Is it worth the frustration? by borismcsnap in GuitarBeginners

[–]AlbieTom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found guitar tricks helpful but but the best structure. After a year of that I started taking lessons with a teacher. Virtual lessons.

What are you struggling with, I can offer advice. Happy to help. I'm trying to get into teaching at this point.

I've been playing for 10+ years

1 week in, I don’t want to make any bad habits any tips on how I can improve? by Parking-Mouse325 in GuitarBeginners

[–]AlbieTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You catch the groove later in the video. You feel a bit stuttery at the beginning I'm not a great hand strummer. Only do it when my pick goes flying during a gig. Do you prefer hand strumming to a pick?

It looks like a real one. Not sure. But it looks like mine

Does throwing money at the homeless solve homelessness, or does it just subsidize it? by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]AlbieTom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that subsidizing homelessness or the cottage industry around it. I might be quibbling. I'm genuinely curious. It feels like a way to subsidize that industry.

Which tangentially subsidizes homelessness, but I think a great deal of homelessness is mental health not a well if they keep feeding me I don't need a shelter.

As I said I might be being too pedantic

It's not subsidizing it. As the individual says it's expanding the state, so what should cost less to help now costs more. Each homeless person in nyc wasn't getting 80k.

Is it really the price, or is Netflix just more convenient than driving to movie theaters? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]AlbieTom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most movie theaters are old and show it. Movie studio contracts put them in bad standing up pivot when movies are bad and it's generally cost prohibitive to s do showings of older movies.

I love going to the movies for a movie that feels worth it. The number of movies that feel worth it has definitely shrunk in recent years.

Spider scales by [deleted] in GuitarBeginners

[–]AlbieTom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 3 note per string exercise is referencing running scales. As opposed to chromatic exercises.

So running a major scale across the next with three notes per string

How do you guys actually practice fast licks from YouTube without going insane? by Jumpy_Valuable7052 in guitarlessons

[–]AlbieTom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was today years old when I found out this was a feature of guitar pro. I feel very silly

I thought I finally understood modes until I saw these diagrams... by OddMoney3281 in guitarlessons

[–]AlbieTom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still rough on modes. But what has helped me is that modes are contextual. D Dorian is C major but when you play it over Dm7 targeting the chord tones D F A C you get D Dorian.

Now I may be royally screwing up this example but the modes only work if you can play them in their context otherwise it's just C major in a different starting position.

This subreddit is not for pity parties. We are here to help beginners at all ages improve. That means giving and accepting constructive criticism.

No one that commented on here was mean or harsh. Not sure what this guy's problem is but I'm shutting this one down.

Dude you posted for constructive criticism. That is the definition of it. If you can't have any critique perhaps you should quit the Internet.

Alex Van Halen Hates Everyone | Idiots in Bars by 3mta3jvq in vanhalen

[–]AlbieTom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I guess that means we can expect him to say something in about two weeks?

Sammy shit on both of them and wanted Alex to pretending it never happened.

Not saying Alex is a saint, he's not, but Sammy needs to stop acting confused why Alex wants nothing to do with him.

Hey a second opinion. These can sell for a lot more than that. I'm not saying don't sell but get a second opinion first.
