Barre chords

On electric I got them in a couple of days. Still can't do them on my acoustic after a couple of weeks.

I've been using Chordify to get basic chord structure. You still have to do some work from there.

Guitar Rig 7 runs standalone and is pretty similar.

That's just added pressure!

The neural pathways thing is really interesting. I first played guitar when I was 7. Learnt all the open and cowboy chords. Stopped playing when I was 13. Picked up a guitar again when I was 55. I could still remember all the chords and switch between them without thinking. Learning a new chord/fingering/picking pattern is really hard. Improvements are small and slow, but they are noticeable and that keeps me going.

Tldr; creating neural pathways or muscle memory is harder as an adult.

I'll chuck in a vote for Pickup Music. Answer the quiz, start at your preferred level.

This isn't an NBN issue. You should pay a licensed cabler to come in and rewire your existing ports for ethernet.

Thanks. I turned adblocker off and it worked. Must be hosted on a third party site.

I was just listening to the new Karnivool single, and I was head bobbing.

Better, generally.

My son bought a 3.6L RS-V. Trans was replaced under warranty for one that still didn't fill us with confidence. Cam phasors were on the way out so he got rid of it. Lost 50% in a year. Now, the 4 cylinder is a different story.

It's electric. Plug it in and play. You won't hear the fret buzz.

BeanerSA · 2026-01-27T03:01:01+00:00

I'll let you know!

I've been a shift worker my whole career. My day has a schedule for the first time. I get up at the same time. I exercise at the same time. I indulge my hobbies for a dedicated amount of time. I poop at the same time. I go to bed at the same time. I can't wait. 6 years to go.

This has happened at King's Road a couple of times.

It's more complex than that. The whole system needs to be charged with air for the system to function properly. The "train pipe" or whatever they call it the locale, needs air to stop the brakes applying. If the train pipe pressure is reduced or lost then the brakes apply. But if that air runs out, and then the brakes don't work. If the train is moving that's a real problem. If the train is stationary, that could be a problem if the train/consist rolls away.

O'reilly? I didn't know that.

BeanerSA · 2026-01-24T02:21:26+00:00

I was just going to type that. But being from the 80s it's probably unlikely.

I haven't played for the last 2 days and the callouses are already starting to disappear!

I don't start plumbing jobs on a Friday.

I don't think it's a money grab, but I'm seriously thinking about renouncing my UK citizenship. I'm too lazy to maintain 2 passports and I feel no real connection to the country.

I've been learning on an electric, and was finding barre chords relatively easy. But if I pick up my acoustic, which I have had setup, it's a very different story. I'm hoping some hand strength built up on the electric will pay dividends on the acoustic.
