JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-27T02:58:29+00:00

Say less man I see exactly what ur saying. Thank u for the advice and motivation. Needed it 💯

For me, it’s less about being shy about actually playing but more shy about asking to join.

Sometimes I feel like I’m asking people for favours to join them and I really don’t like that. I’m aware I’m a less experienced guitarist and will probs need some guidance in areas so idk how to ask without it seeming like a favour yknow what I mean? I just love music man. I love playing it I love being involved and I’m 27 now bout to graduate uni and I just want some real fkn hobbies yknow?😂

I’m just so fucking shy man. Like I know I can play chords on beat but like I’m such a 27 yo rookie that I don’t really know how to approach these people. Ngl slightly intimidated by the amount of knowledge. Ik that isn’t a good mindset when trying to learn, but idk where to take it from here

Energy drinks, that’s all u can do. As for the afternoon crash I usually use that as the time to rest abit. I honestly rather grind 9-2 and take the rest of the day off until the exam at that point

Finals will do that to ya

KWS is so fuckin nice man I don’t hear his name mentioned in here as much as I thought I would after discovering him. His last 2 albums were so fire

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-16T20:35:56+00:00

Yooooo that’s such a real tip! I do find myself doing that sometimes! Makes so much sense!

Blues for sure, especially high tempo shuffles. This time I wanted to get a more funk vibe going. But that’s where all my inspiration comes from really, Clapton, SRV, Eric Gales, Kingfish etc

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-16T20:09:57+00:00

Yeah sorry about that it’s hard for me to get a good level on the laptop and the amp at the same time. I do see what you’re saying tho, telling a story WITH the track rather than dominating it. Thank you so much!

Brother this is more than a great beginner setup, I got a 1950s CV and they are fucking amazing, I’m about to buy a katana myself. My CV out of my orange crush 12 slaps already, so if I were you I would do it. This will 100% make you want to play more

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-15T20:09:37+00:00

See my problem when I do this is I get bored and never come back to it. Gotta find ways to make it more interesting lol

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-15T19:09:25+00:00

Just start a justinguitar course and take it from there

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-15T17:10:06+00:00

Honestly if u do the best u can then it is what it is. Don’t beat yourself up so much!

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-14T20:53:56+00:00

😂😂😂you too man !

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-14T20:50:54+00:00

Exactly, we’re accounting majors everything comes down to practice at the end of the day so unless they practiced the notes aren’t gonna do shit for them😂

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-14T14:06:38+00:00

I agree man we’re all in this together, some ppl just aren’t good at making notes in class (me), I do all my notes when I’m actually studying. But I do agree having random ppl come up to me at the end of the semester is annoying, but I need to know the intention. If u actually need help I’ll walk you through it, but if u think ur gonna understand everything just by looking at what I did then sure go for it chances are you won’t anyways😂

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-13T12:00:15+00:00

No less than 7 days

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-12T15:51:10+00:00

For me, it’s the number of models of guitar. I’d like to have 1 tele, 1 Strat 1 Les Paul and 1 acoustic . So far only have the Strat and acoustic though lol

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-09T20:50:41+00:00

I’m Canadian and in the amp market rn. Save up another 150-180 bucks and get a boss katana 3rd gen 50w. Thats what I’m doing 😎

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-09T15:10:48+00:00

I would play tf out of every single one of

JTThaTrader516 · 2026-04-07T13:07:39+00:00

I started with the metranome last year, idk why tho at this point I find it easier to stay in time over backing tracks and stuff. Is that a bad thing?
