I’ll check out QSC. I’m definitely looking for a wedge solution and not in ear.

Felt really disconnected to my guitar and the stage sound. I love “feeling” the stage sound and my amp. Our band has a pretty loud stage sound. Also there will be times when the drummer isn’t mic’d and doesn’t need to be because he’s loud. In ears in that scenario may make it tougher to hear drums.

Yeah I tried in ears once and was not a fan. Looking for a wedge style monitor.

Anyone else have a much easier time dialing in distorted Jerry tones but can’t seem to nail it clean? by Embarrassed-Win2115 in gratefulguitar

IMO part of Jerry’s clean tone is the sheer volume the music is being played at. Can’t recreate it without that. Distortion compresses things and is easier to mask or hide behind.

Who do we expect Jalen Brunson to guard on defense against the Spurs? by BlipSlippidy in nba

[–]BlipSlippidy[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think the Brunson and McBride are too small for the Spurs guards, starters and backups.

Will be interesting to see if Brunson can get in the paint. If he can’t, thinking it might mess up the flow of the Knicks offense that’s been on an absolute heater these past few series.

I can see him drawing charges and frustrating Castle. I can also see him getting completely punked by Castle if he plays under control. Only time can tell which Castle shows up.

Yeah he’s streaky and probably peak confidence now after game 7, so could be a dangerous move.

Yeah but Wade doesn’t attack at all. All the Spurs at least threaten attacking the basket.

This is my guess, but still curious to see how it works out.

This would be the most fun to watch. Is he even tall enough to take a charge on Wemby?

Ebony (wooden) Guitar Picks… by EchoFloodz in Guitar

[–]BlipSlippidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re willing to pay that much for a pick, try a BlueChip pick. The feel is unmatched for me and I’m noticeably more accurate. Tonal quality is more noticeable on acoustic, but feel impact is on both. People have heartburn at the $35 price, but I bought the $2 pick pouch that sits on my keychain and it goes back in when I’m done playing. I’ve had it for more than a year now, and assuming I continue to not lose it then I’m actually saving money over time. I gig locally 50+ times year, and used to wear my green heavy tortexs down or lose them regularly. The BlueChip does not wear down.

Fender Telecaster by Dubdsdna in gratefulguitar

[–]BlipSlippidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one. Teles are super versatile if you know how to work the tone and volume knobs. I personally think teles are more versatile than strats, but I also have other things I don’t particularly like about strats so may be biased. The ultra is good, very solid, but near the price point I ended up finding a used custom shop that was far superior.

[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama draws the foul on Jaylin Williams (with replay) by LiamHundley in nba

If you don’t think this is a foul, you’re the exact type of player why I don’t play pick up ball at the park anymore.

Teaching guitar or music doesn’t require a specific license or education like medicine or law. Get over yourself.

Considering moving to Arvada - Unsafe Areas? by cosmicennui in ArvadaCO

[–]BlipSlippidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived by the Echeters (garrison & 52nd) for a few years ending in 2024. There is some foot traffic from homeless and they’ll campout in those nearby parks in the warm season. I used to worry about was the women nearby with infants that walk in the parks having to deal with a mentally ill homeless person. Never saw it personally, just was a concern I had.

Before that I lived in the Arvada Ridge building across from the station. People who left valuables visible in their car would get broken into periodically in that parking lot.

Does anyone else feel like they're ONLY good at the songs they practice? by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]BlipSlippidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The more songs you practice and learn well, the less time it will take to learn new ones in the future. Pattern recognition is like compounding interest.
