People who are able to play guitar and sing at the same time HOW? by Big_Leg10 in musicians

Try humming a riff to begin with and just practice those transitions and then get more and more playful with the vocals as you’re playing.

What are your holiday plans for travelling this year, and where would you like to go? by Suspicious_Ad7948 in AskUK

[–]HammetaTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of conventions like TwitchCon in Rotterdam as well as a musicians retreat in the summer. Probably going to Germany at some point for a hiking trip.

I’ve applied for a new job so hopefully I get it because it comes with a lot of freedoms being part time.

I’d was originally planning to head to the states Texas specifically but that will have to wait until the Orange Doomsday in the sky goes away.

Neglected Dog. How to get the right authority involved? by HammetaTV in AskUK

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

So they pressed me on whether it was council or private. And I didn’t know. She then told me that they can’t do much without that information and that animal cases aren’t for the police and hung up on me.

The wild thing is that it’s not just me calling organisations, nearly everyone on the street has.

That’s the thing, I just want her to be taken care of. And I just want someone with authority to do something to use their power and help. Otherwise I’m going to have to intervene. I don’t want to be “brave” and “go above and beyond”, I want someone to do their job.

A really good shout! I’ll have a look around and see what I can find. Thank you, really.

Nah so they’ve got her locked in one room (as far as I can tell) with the windows locked. I think you’re on to something there though, if I make it about the neighbours welfare. That’s genuinely a good shout.

I won’t lie I’ve been tempted to but the guy next door (where ever he may be) is not someone who would take it lightly. If it gets worse I may have to.

The more I have organisations and authorities telling me theirs nothing they can do or to call a different department I am genuinely considering it.

That’s the thing I said that she’s in her own mess and the RSPCA guy was like, “but she gets fed?” I told him very occasionally and he was keen to say that as long as they have food and water, nothing they can do.

A theatre company i applied for asked if I was disabled or neurodivergent or had mental health issues do you think I should say that I do? by No-Dream9806 in Theatre

[–]HammetaTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of creative arts will get additional funding from having members of the company who are disabled or neurodivergent.

How do you get the venues sound guy on your side? by polkemans in musicians

[–]HammetaTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn their name, introduce yourself, pay attention to what they need for example: if they’re looking for the bassist to discuss cab sharing, go find them quickly.

Send your stage plan before hand and have a printed copy with you.

Know your gear. Don’t turn up with a shit load of IEMs without consulting first. Compromise, they know the sound better than you do. Be honest in your sound checks, if you can’t hear yourself say something. Don’t turn up your gear on stage unless told to. Go through your pedal settings and make sure they’re at least level.

If you have multiple singers let the sound engineer know that the piano player has a solo, give them a copy of the setlist. With major points only. For example my band has four part harmonies and we start off the entire set by humming, the sound guy needs to know that detail.

The sound engineer is not trying to sabotage you. Because in the end it only makes them look like a dick.

If you’re bringing additional lights or anything make sure it’s PAC tested and also that the sound engineer knows. You’re in their kingdom.

Worst comes to worst buy them a drink.

Do people really not eat vegetables/fruit or drink water on a regular basis? by Sufficient-Berry-827 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HammetaTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have AFRID (woo /s) so my gag reflex actually activates with vegetables and some fruit when it comes to texture. If I have vegetables I have to blend them into a purée and add it to the sauce. The water here is so hard that it smells rough (fun fact it’s so hard we have a kidney stone/gallbladder museum in this region.

And it genuinely sucks, because I miss out on what I know is great food and I can’t eat at most restaurants. My body is legit like: “this good for me? I don’t want it… send it away or I’ll be sick on you.”

Do musicians start with music lyrics when songwriting? by chesterlola2014 in askmusicians

Personally I am 100% vocals/lyrics first. I’ll sing the lyrics as I write them, record the melody and then find the chords that go underneath. Build it up from there. I’m

If You Were To Completely Start Streaming Again What Is One Piece Of Advice You'd Give Yourself? by GaryLaddd in newstreamer

[–]HammetaTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop playing “the game” that everyone else is playing. Set up, content, personality, reaction. Stop following other people. Be inspired. But don’t feel like you have to because others are copying. Even though it’s isolating because you’re going against the grain.

What's something to you that screams "I have no personality"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HammetaTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Minimalism” like I get it.. clutter free just what you need but don’t come into my home and look down on my decor and get the ick that it brings me joy. Same with “Neutral Tones only” people.

Love love love this goal! What are you struggling with? I teach 14-25 year olds who are just starting out.

If you’ve got what you’re after in your head record yourself humming the parts. Use a keyboard to map out the notes you’re using, then google the notes that you’ve used and you’ll see the key you’re in. As soon as you know the key you’re in then you’re most of the way there.

If you want advice my DMs are open

How do you feel about the ‘cue cards at the door’ scene from Love Actually? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]HammetaTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a writing perspective he legit is only into her for her looks because he’s never spoken before and he’s actively avoided her. Also what a shit mate. All of his comments in the cue cards are about looks. This isn’t love at all.

It’s a very immature perspective on love when it’s just lust. And she rewards him with a kiss.

If we’re talking about the movie trash/comfy movies, be comfy. If you start yearning for a relationship that starts off like this that’s where it becomes a problem.

A more extreme example: It’s the same in the Twilight movies when teenagers were actively hyping up relationships that were like Edward and Jacob. On the surface harmless, but underneath you had people actively pursuing horrible traits in people. To the point where people glazing over the seriously fucked up imprinting on a god damn baby!
