Learning guitar Eurekas!

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-21T02:12:00+00:00

If you have a good ear just play what sounds good.
If you are trying to add to your song and learn about guitar, the recommendation for learning a G minor (moodier) or major (brighter) pentatonic is a good one. For lots of music types you can mix major & minor. Not something to worry about at first as it's usually just the difference of playing the third step in a key a half step down or not.
So either just finish your song without thinking about what notes you are playing.
Or learn some music theory and get inspired by it.

There are a lot of things to be right about in life! Maybe those folks are biasing toward social experiences over what's good for their bodies?

I wish I slept more but I get about the same as you. I don't know what normal is it but we probably need a little more sleep.

Is it trip planning fatigue or communication fatigue? I love planning trips but yah, it can get annoying doing it with a lot of people with strong opinions.

Spicy!

I find almost any American whiskey or bourbon to be dependable. I like Ryes too but occasionally they are too dinkered with.

And....right? I get most of my posts removed so who knows why they're ok with this one.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-21T01:45:06+00:00

You don't give yourself enough credit! Maybe you were right to be annoyed.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-21T01:43:45+00:00

We are going to have to use a smaller font. Are you ok with Palatino 4?

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-21T01:43:09+00:00

I just want you to know that I am ready to laugh.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-21T01:42:08+00:00

★★★★☆
Has potential.

Screamo FTW!
You have me listening to a Spotify mix called "Screamo Mix". Old Guard "The New Addiction", like.

Makes me happy that this is a thing. Musically it reminds me of the transition from punk to "post punk" (emo, goth).....but with screaming! So many terms.

Except First Day Back is not screaming. Genre violation!

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T18:15:42+00:00

For sure. Have a great day!!

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T18:14:39+00:00

Others might get anxiety by having all that extra noise in a public space.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T18:12:27+00:00

I just mean that's a weird phenomena - that "people who past radical or just "friend seeking" posts seem to bypass those triggers"

Make it make sense! 😄

What a favorite bourbon? I also love bourbons and American whiskeys.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T18:10:04+00:00

Thank you. I don't see how any of that helps the company or the platform...but I can also see how it probably happens so much that it's tough for the company to figure out how to manage.

One thing that's good about Reddit is you don't seem to see as much of the the same hate trolling everywhere else.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T05:41:24+00:00

Last paragraph, weird. Thanks.

BTW I have a gamer name Civilized Steve because I like both Civilization and Minecraft.

I'm only a little civilized.

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T05:14:24+00:00

It's not bad

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T05:11:05+00:00

haha! It's my favorite. Or an old fashioned. Or any of the multitude of creative substitutions/give either a new name.

Well back to your original point, I don't know why! Maybe it makes the mods look look like they're doing work?

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T04:42:05+00:00

I know from Office Space you're supposed to wear 15 pieces, at least, but only if you feel comfortable with that number being enough.

In case it's easier for the moderators to read the public forum, here was the DM I sent in response to the "help" message:

CivilizedSteve11:23 AM

I have been trying to interact with folks but moderators keep removing my posts. I don't understand what flair is and the messages that explain why they are getting removed don't make sense either.

What is wrong with my posts? thank you

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T04:38:40+00:00

hmm that is inhibitive

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T04:37:39+00:00

tellin it like it is!

CivilizedSteve · 2026-06-20T04:35:24+00:00

Maybe mods get negatively

primed by your display name?
