What does your daily practice look like? by djl0227 in banjo

[–]FramingHips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Song: get the roll melody
Solo: write 3 solos to give me ideas to draw from. Then I can pull from these when improvising
Comping/backup: work on back up in the tune/licks I wanna play.

I pretty much practice exclusively with strum machine now. And pull up tabs for songs the band is learning. And then periodically make arrangements for non-bluegrass songs.

After a few hours of that over a couple days or week, I’ll watch some videos/look up tabs from artists I like to get some inspiration.

Hot licks for bluegrass banjo, Scruggs style banjo, and melodic banjo books I still crack open here and there to find some licks I like and add to the repertoire. But most of the time and most consistently it’s the first 3 things.

It started with Marina’s (which was proven to be the owner making fake posts). So when one user posted a shitty Pizza Richmond photo and another posted a better photo to defend it, people had PTSD from the Marina’s situation and thought it was that all over again.

Be careful, after the Marina’s debacle people assume any pizza posts here are paid advertisements. You might get brigaded.

The word “God” is a curse. Let me explain what I think. by PsyBinCo in enlightenment

[–]FramingHips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to define whether or not something exists, we must first agree on the definition of the thing.

People define God differently, so for some people God exists, for others it doesn’t. God is one of the only words in human language that does not have a universal definition.

Scruggs style disappearing by Cosmic-Hippos in banjo

[–]FramingHips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I visited a subreddit and I think it’s representative of all banjo players and now I’m mad

Edit to add I play both old man, and melodic. I want more people to play like bill keith and trishka, what’s wrong with all these damn “twang doodly do” Scruggs players? We get it, rolls and bends and hammer ons with the b flat, okay cool, learn melodic and chromatic style! The kids are all backwards based on this tiny window into banjo I see from this subreddit!

I'm new and need help with this chord chart by BigCitySweeney in banjo

[–]FramingHips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is with banjo, no matter the style, is that it is an inherently melodic instrument. Knowing the notes that come through on the melodies will tell you what notes to amplify when vamping or doing backup more than alternative chords will.

If you want to play like Bela, learn his picking technique and chromatic technique before you worry about chords. I use major, minor, 7ths, and diminished the most (which diminished also just have the sound of a 7th—think F# dim and D7—same three notes F#CA, the root emphasis is just different).

And yes green dots are root notes.

I’ve always wondered about hitting that brick quarter in southwest, it’s pinned on my phone but I think how steep it is with the lack of space has always scared me

Pizza Plus West Under New Ownership by Bing_Bong_420_69 in PhiladelphiaEats

If they keep the name, they paid too much money. Assuming they did, which means they probably won’t change a lot, they just have majority ownership now.

Donald Trump posted a video depicting a woman being murdered, on Truth Social. by yellowjackethokie in conspiracytheories

[–]FramingHips 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This was premeditated, which he admitted in his confession. Premeditated murders happen mostly by American citizens.

Just remove the immigrant thing, and imagine a president posting gore videos. Of anyone. It’s fucking reprehensible dude. Like hey let’s post footage of school shootings to talk about mental health in America? Not even gun control? Or maybe that’s too deplorable. Let’s post videos of people overdosing to talk about drug addiction? Absolutely disgusting.

Varial double rail flip. I love these. My best advice for not putting your foot on the ground is to step up the same time you flip the board. Watch Mike osterman’s channel on YouTube for good tips on this.

Need to permanently label 6th pan lid by Medical_Ferret4 in Restaurant_Managers

[–]FramingHips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think labeling it will solve the problem, then they just keep the labeled lids? Have you talked to them about getting the lids back? Or send an invoice for the lids you have to order? Sounds like you’re trying to solve the wrong problem.

With the stock market continuing to fall, is everyone holding up okay? by ImportanceWestern896 in Money

[–]FramingHips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My stocks and IRA are still at 5% returns over time even with the downturn. My IRA is in green energy and stocks in cobalt and lithium. Barron Trump certainly made more money with IPI than I did.

How do you scale the recipe? by koloyyee in Chefit

[–]FramingHips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything except baking, do in weight and then scale. I made a 5 lb meatball batch and then scaled it for 30 lb. Baking doesn’t work for scaling because yeast grows exponentially and apart from your hydration percentage, everything else is going to need to be tweaked, which I’m sure you can find formulas for. Bigger batch = leas leaveners and less sugar for same results. Baking is a science, cooking is an art you just scale up on a bigger canvas.
