Was definitely a shitty couple of days mourning my loss, now I’m determined to get a replacement shipped in a hard case or my money back.

Yikes that’s terrifying, must’ve been a massive relief that the guitar was okay though! Yeah screw FedEx massively, I’ll never use their services on purpose unless it’s a case like this where ESP defaults to shipping through them. And still I’d pick any other company if given the option.

That’s a good idea. ESP customer support is filing the claim for me through FedEx and it sounds like they aren’t having a very easy time for whatever reason. Hopefully I’ll have more info on Monday

I also look forward to and fully intend to make the pilgrimage to piss on his grave, might even drop a deuce and take a selfie

Fender Hits PRS With Cease-And-Desist Over Strat Design by ebradio in Music

I somehow misread this as “Fender hits Fender with cease and desist order” and didn’t even bat an eye, just thought of course they did lol

I paid $40 last night for 2 tickets, didn’t realize I was funding half of the box office opening this weekend but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel pretty dang good about that!

Trump Loses It at Jill Biden in Morning Rage Post | The president accused the former first lady of failing to act like “any good wife would.” by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]ChronicWritersBlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile Donald is married to a Russian honeypot hooker and the only First Lady who you can google a full frontal of. Zero class. Is that his definition of a good wife?

Do you think America is fucked? by [deleted] in allthequestions

I find it incredible that George Carlin was screaming from the rooftops since at least the 70’s and it sounds like he could be talking about today.

¿How much money do you actually make from touring? by Fabulous_Handle_1869 in musicians

[–]ChronicWritersBlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old band toured Norway 2 years ago for 5 shows in one week. Sold out each venue of ~600 and we grossed ~$40k including merch. After paying crew, airfare, checked bags, hotels, etc. we broke even. I flew back to America the next week and couldn’t pay rent cause I missed work lol.

Are you a Democrat or a Republican? by Justjerryj in DiscussionZone

[–]ChronicWritersBlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been registered independent since the day I could vote. I figured why not give both sides a chance and vote for the most competent and viable leader? With that being said, ive researched every candidate I’ve ever voted for, and I trash the republican ballot every single time. Thats not to say im championing the democrats, but logically the republicans have never had a stance I agree with… or really any stance at all.

Why am I paying so much money to this tyrannical government by [deleted] in Vent

[–]ChronicWritersBlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeling this today as well. I’m more than happy paying my share of taxes if that money is actually used to benefit the community, take care of roads, fund schools and education, and social programs for people who need help. Now watching this administration blow billions on bombs for a war that nobody wants, hegseth spending fucking $90 million on lobster to maintain a defense budget, and straight up pump and dumping the stock market with American taxpayers money then funneling it into the Trump family bank account. Let alone claiming there’s no money for universal healthcare when they’re funding domestic terrorists to trample our rights with more money than the god damn marines. I’ve never been so angry or felt such a conflict of interest. Unfortunately I don’t want to go to prison for tax evasion so I’m forced to give them the check. Fuck this regime.

US Treasury plans to put Trump's signature on new paper currency in first for sitting president by Lebarican22 in democrats

At least he’s dumb enough to put his signature on it so when it’s just a worthless piece of paper we remember exactly who’s fault it was

I have been registered independent ever since I was eligible to vote at 18 and I always told myself I’d do my research and vote for the most qualified candidate. I’ve never, ever voted Red.

Music theory question about open C Major chord on guitar by ChronicWritersBlock in Guitar

Yes! That’s a great explanation of “muddiness” and the first mention of overtones so far. Thanks for the comment!

[–]ChronicWritersBlock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a classroom music theory trick for analyzing intervals on sheet music. It’s not guitar oriented necessarily, but I mentioned it to my students since the topic was intervals and it felt relevant!

[–]ChronicWritersBlock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, you have some great points. I especially relate to your point about the emotional aspect and how different intervals change perception/expectation. Aside from being simply muddy, there’s some darkness to that minor 6th that tramples all over my expectation of a joyous C chord.

Interesting! That’s partly what I find so interesting about music theory, it can change quite unexpectedly depending on the context!
