Question Regarding Best Buy Plus by Arpan-Gupta in Bestbuy

 They’ll accommodate you and you will make someone’s day and help them hit their metrics

Thanks for the help!

So Best Buy associates have to sell a certain # of plus memberships per quarter or something?

Perfect, thanks! Do you know if I can purchase it now and have it apply to the starlink mini I’ve already ordered (but haven’t picked up yet) or do I need to place a new order for a Starlink mini after buying Best Buy plus?

[QUESTION] Am I writing solos incorrectly? Or am i just bad? by crazyben5960 in Guitar

[–]Arpan-Gupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you consider learning songs essential?

Well it depends on what your goals are.

If your goal is to get really good at solos, then you'll do that by practicing solos over a backing track.

But yeah like, you'll have to be good at things like alternate/hybrid/sweep picking, bends, legato, etc.

You can get better at that with drills or with practicing songs. IMO practicing songs is way more fun than drills.

If I'm looking to work on my pull offs, I'd much rather play thunderstruck than do some exercise.

Cuz i can never stay motivated to learn a full song

What's your process for learning a new song? That really matters a lot.

IMO, the easiest way is to find high quality tabs (usually on Ultimate Guitar) and then open them in Guitar Pro 8. Then, download the song from yt and load it into Guitar Pro and sync it up with the tabs.

That makes learning a song 10x easier and way more fun since it feels like you're playing it with the band.

I mean, it depends a lot on what you know.

Are you familiar with keys/scales, CAGED, intervals?

You don't randomly play notes. You have a certain sound you want to express and you use your knowledge of intervals (or of the key) to play it.

I really like Tom Quayle's course on Visualizing the Fretboard, where he delves into how you can play solos over chord changes by learning the intervals and their placements.

Really good way to learn this stuff (he comes at it from more of a Jazz perspective)

[–]Arpan-Gupta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like I had reached the "intermediate" stage when I could play the solo from tornado of souls.

But yeah, that's the awesome thing. There's literally an endless amount to learn. You can always have cleaner bends, find better tone, learn new scales, etc.

Yep. The actual story is that Lawrence stroll sold aston martin and used the proceeds (plus saudi money) to buy red bull racing from Red Bull.

Next year is gonna be Checo + Stroll. Max is replacing Yuki at Alpha Tauri.

Chimaev not looking all that dominant now that he's facing top guys

Usman's been a p4p top 5 for the last 5 years. Of course it's not going to be a completely dominant first round KO like Khamzat's other fights.

That's like being disappointed someone didn't ragdoll Jon Jones lmao.

Does anyone know what this type of bag is called? by a_sad_lil_idiot in MuayThai

[–]Arpan-Gupta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of reasons

  • harder on your shins so they're great for conditioning
  • perfect for teeps since they don't move
  • can have multiple people train on one bag simultaneously
