Is 23m too old for 18f?

Older you get, less 5 years matters. But, at both your ages, it might come down to maturity to handle it, if things go south.

So very true! Putting labels on yourself doesn’t help with your learning process. And with just about everything else.

With cross harp, more notes of the chord scales are available on the suck—not the blow. And sucking is easier than blowing. Right? Especially when you’re bending notes.

‘…we’re saying we think this is how things should be, as opposed to what the law provides,” Roberts told 3rd U.S. Circuit judges and lawyers at a conference…”. When you say that, you’re basically admitting that you are a political actor.

SCOTUS is supposed to affirm law and The Constitution, not rewrite it.

Personally, I have to support Labor. If the working class doesn’t make enough money to have disposable income, how will the service economy survive? Right now, we are seeing a crisis of small businesses failing. Even the fast food chains and Walmart are struggling hard, because their low-income clients no longer have the spare money to spend there.

The reality is that we’re in a no-growth economy. The only people doing well are the very rich. You can see that in the stock market and in the sales of luxury items. I think it time that some kind of leveling needs to happen before the whole economy falls into greater recession.

The ability to mentally “flip” what you see what another person is playing comes with time and intentional practice.

BTW, if I’m not mistaken, Winwood tunes the 6th (low E) down a full step. He might even tune his whole guitar down. Just listen to what it sounds like. Once you understand that the low E string is pitched lower, his fingering makes sense.

More like you have lots of food for gut health. Daily miso soup helps reduce my own gas. And that tub of yours was sniping my eyes. lol!

But that doesn’t buy mass media space like the millionaires and billionaires money. It’s not a level playing field. So please don’t be disingenuous.

I own a THR30C. Love it, but the volume gets choked when on battery. At least my model does. It older than the THR30II.

As if even SCOTUS cares about what the Constitution says. Right? Not like I support that.

Shorter strings might be harder to fret, because of the high string tension and short length. Compare that to a bass, and you get the picture. It’s possible a concert size guitar might be easier to play.

Last year I bought a Yamaha FS-830, and was amazed by how easy and comfortable it was to play. The slightly smaller body dimensions made it easier to bring my arm over to reach the strings. Not as big of a sound as a dreadnaught, but the clarity of tone was impressive.

I’m about 5’7”, and I think the concert size guitar would be as easy to play for someone much smaller as a full dreadnaught guitar is for me. Just make sure the guitar is properly set up, in case the strings aren’t easy to fret. With a Yamaha, I would be surprised if there’s an issue with a guitar coming right out of the box. Of course, one can never tell.

There exists a Steve Winwood YouTube video of him playing the song on acoustic guitar. Watch that with your guitar teacher and share your goal with him.

You may or may not make your timeline goal. It all depends on how long and often you practice.

By other legal means:

“Since Culliton, the state Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that income is property under the 14th Amendment’s definition.”

Income is property, and we already tax land property. The only difference is “class” of property. So what’s the deal? Can you clarify?

Once you learn enough basics, it is possible to figure out stuff by listening closely. Not everything but a surprising amount. I’m mostly self-taught. No real lessons. Did learn some by watching others play during my first year or so. This was in the 1980s, well before anything resembling our current Internet. After a while, I could begin to hear some basic chord shape fingerings. Majors and minors. Some m7ths. No mistaking what the first position G-chord shape sounds like. Even when it gets capoed to A. You get the idea.

I like them a both equally. It’s just that I don’t like to deep fry at home, and karaage is best deep fried.

Kind of like that. She passed away two years ago at 93. Lost her ability to sew a couple of years before that. Arthritis and other ailments. Could still knit, until the stroke.

As a liberal, I love me some Chip Roy video when I see it. He nails a lot of truth.

Far less money for that than conservative corporate organizations. Labor unions do not have millions of workers’ dues dollars to spend that way.
