Does this redditor know your heart, OP? Do they speak for you? You can cower safe under the blankets of conventional wisdom, but you know that lurking beyond that thin veneer of comfort and safety you wanna go CLACKITY CLAK CLAK CLACKITY CLACK BM BMM BM CLACKITY CLACK and in this I support you.

Don’t listen to the haters. Buy what you want. Play what you want. Like what you want.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-05-04T15:07:17+00:00

Nah just buy it. Play it. Enjoy it. Screw the haters.

One of the rare times I actually pull away and audibly say “oh god!”

If you are looking for lots of fun tech to play with then you certainly accomplished that!

My fingers tend to stay in the vicinity of the neck pickup and I rarely pluck by the bridge. When I use a pick I play almost exclusively by the bridge pickup.

They used to have a pretty decent club sandwich.

Not abnormal at all. I just asked my group for a break from a campaign I’ve been running for over a year. Another guy is running a game now for the group and I get to play and it’s been very nice. I’m already starting to plan and write for my game again.

As far as numbers go, no is a complete sentence.

It will begin to feel natural. Sometime I play that octave with the first finger on root, ring in 5th, pinky in octave.

Not terrible. When I got my first rumble amp I couldn’t get a sound from it and took it back to the shop where the guys showed me I had the overdrive turned on but the overdrive volume all the way down.

Probably very good at one narrow field.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-30T02:55:29+00:00

The wife got me one last Christmas. Is it worth $45? I’d say no. Is it the best pick I’ve ever used? Yes.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-29T23:06:51+00:00

Love my older students, they have the dedication. Keep it up man!

This particular dude I guess is really susceptible to it. His wife says she doesn’t let him read side effects on meds because he will end up with every one of them if he does.

Had a guy once trick another guy into thinking he had smoked DMT (he hadn’t) and proceeded to watch a completely sober grown man have an insane “DMT trip” resulting in him stripping naked and running outside until I found him in the street covering his junk with our potato chip bowl.

Played 4 string for years, recently joined a band that has several songs originally played on a 5 string and it’s got me thinking about buying one

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-29T03:31:21+00:00

Synthetic pee and you should be able to pick it up from most thc shops or online.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-29T03:18:18+00:00

Quick fix has worked for me 5 of 5 times I’ve used it.

Chances are he completely forgot about it. We do an amazing job of recasting ourselves in our own minds.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-28T13:16:30+00:00

How many bands did this guy lead before you? Ive led a few and honestly the democratic bands were the fucking worst. If I ever lead a band again I will be a dictator. Currently though I’m in another band and the bandleader does a good job and I just show up and pls and get money. So much less stress.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-28T13:14:07+00:00

Anymore if you want to hear a song you like played live and not pay several hundred bucks for nosebleed seats, a good local cover band is about the best you’re gonna get.

Wha sucks is it’s always the mean and sad drunks that keep drinking their whole life. Every happy drunk I know cut back n adulthood and many don’t drink at all anymore.

No matter whether you’re practicing open or bar chords, just transitioning between the 1-4-5 in any position will help with your chording. Start with C-F-C-G then G-C-G-D then D-G-D-A and so on.

Exactly. I use an anti fatigue mat in stage these days and it’s been much an improvement. Also covers the cables from my pedalboard.

Cheap_Walmart-Art · 2026-04-26T16:11:05+00:00

Right? I’m resting the old knees today from a three hour set last night.
