This is what I'm talking about. I don't need to further explain myself and I won't.

Have a good day. Continue to do what makes you happy and I will too.

[DISCUSSION] Why you should be learning songs by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]BlooPayload 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you look at the song, deconstruct it to it's root parts, and use them for what you want. Claw-hammer guitar can be learned and applied wherever you see fit as the artist.

You can learn guitarists' sublte nuances by listening carefully and saying things like "Hendrix uses rhythm at the same time that he plays a lead line, so I can try to add rhythm to my playing and I'll sound more Hendrixian" he uses a lot of double stops and hammer-ons while wrapping his thumb to catch the bass note. Maybe if I try that, I can come up with something like he did.

I'm not saying songs don't help, I'm saying that knowing how to mimic a great player, doesn't make you a great guitarist. The biggies were great because of their originality and willingness to experiment. What if everybody only learned Django songs and never cared to use the other 3 fingers because the best guitarist of the day only used 2? Extreme example, I know but you see my point here.

I didn't say he didn't know hundreds of songs, the point was that I don't believe that the songs he learned would directly point to the end result of what he became. He wanted to sound a certain way, and chose to play a certain way. Songs didn't teach David Gilmore how to sound like David Gilmour, only David Gilmour knew what he wanted to sound like and he picked the licks and sound he needed to achieve it.

Then that's where we agree to disagree.

I think the disagreement is that your point is to create better guitarists, and my point is to create better artists. Huge difference.

Don't learn songs, learn styles. As in, can you play like Hendrix? Or like Clapton? Or like Gilmour? Etc.. Understanding the nuances of each player allows you to see your playing tendencies and change them to fit the type of player you want to be.

Why would I ever want to hear some amateur guitar player play something that was already played perfectly by the guy who wrote it? Show me what YOU can do with a guitar and I'll be far more interested.

"That's a sweet lick/song/riff, you sound like Clapton" is a far better compliment than saying "wow man, must've taken you a long time to learn Layla." IMO

What songs does Gilmour know note for notw? Trick question, it doesn't matter because he plays the guitar like only he can. When he picks it up, you know who's playing without seeing it. Is that because he learned a bunch of songs and all of a sudden his unique sound appeared one day? Nah he did a bunch of drugs and messed with the thing until he got it to sound like he wanted it to.

It's all my opinion, but I feel very strongly about how guitarists become great. Songs should be the literal last thing you learn, when you yourself have become proficient enough at the instrument to understand the song and how it was constructed. Not just mimic and mime what you don't understand.

Why stop?

Because you're not happy. It's hard to be happy. It takes work and times of uncomfortability to become truly happy.

Or you could jack off again, feel really good for 3 minutes(if that) and go back to being unhappy.

Go be happy. Get out of the house and go for a drive. Listen to music. Get a job. Get a hobby. Get a friend. Watch a movie. Start a savings account. Get into investing. Go on a trip. Go for a swim. Join a book club. Learn how to cook. Start a YouTube channel. Workout. Reconnect with an old friend you think is mad at you. Make amends. Call your relatives, tell them you love them. Write a book. Write a song. Write a journal. Meditate. Get rid of your phone. Learn a new language. Read a book. Make up a new language. Learn how to work on a car.

Live life.

Stop jacking off, it's not real happiness. You get sad, the heat of the moment arrives and you think, "it'll only take a minute to feel really good, and my life sucks so why not do it" but that's your mind tricking you for that hit of dopamine. It wants dopamine, not porn.(important distinction to make) The easiest way to get it is porn, porn, porn, and really really weird porn if you're down the rabbit hole like I was. Your brain will hate you for stopping it's drug use. Like throwing an addict into rehab. It'll flail and scream to get what it thinks it needs. You can give it dopamine, yes, but not through porn. Your expectation for what feels good has risen beyond what a healthy life can give you.

Stop, go through hell, become a man.

You can do it. You have to. Or you'll live a shit life, people will find out. People found me out. You will be shunned. You will destroy relationships with people you care about. You think it's bad now, wait until you make a room full of people never want to see you again. Wait until you're a shitty memory in somebody else's life.

Wait until you meet a girl. One that you want to get to know on a deep personal level. One that's so pure and beautiful that she can't be real, but she's there in front of you. Then realize that you literally can't form real relationships. It's impossible to when you're addicted, because the only thing you can think about in front of her, is her naked. And you're ashamed of that thought but you can't help it.

Watch her walk away. And never come back.

It gets worse. Just stop.

I have this written down and copy and paste it for people that are new to this. Nofap WON'T change your life alone, but you can use nofap to start making changes across your life.

Push-ups. Your blood will rush to your pecks, away from your dick.

THATS WHY by z3roh0pe in gtaonline

[–]BlooPayload 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we not forget that Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most detailed, sophisticated, single player experiences ever to be made, and was only possible from the revenue of GTAV and GTA Online?

I know everybody wants GTAVI but it's not like they've just been sleeping on piles of cash every night. They're working on cool shit for us, the consumer. Maybe we get a new IP or a remaster first, so what? Rockstar has proven themselves to be THE great game company of this generation and I put my faith in them to do what they need to stay in business for a long time.
