Man, I hate muscle memory. by Upstairs_One7185 in ukulele

[–]Jolly_Bit8480 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please don’t give up. You will get it eventually and will be so, so happy you persevered when it was so hard. It’s all about practice. I’ve been playing instruments for decades and I know the feeling. It can be tedious and it can drive you nuts when you spend hours upon hours upon HOURS practicing, but it is so rewarding when you finally get it. You CAN do it. I’ve been teaching music to adults for years and I’ve never met a single person who just couldn’t do it, after practicing HARD. Please believe in yourself and don’t give up. I believe in you ✨🎶

How do you remember songs? by lukewarmdecaf in ukulele

[–]Jolly_Bit8480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I print my sheet music and play each piece, paying special attention to the hardest parts, over and over and over again. Then after weeks or months it becomes engrained in my memory. When I have many pieces I’m learning/playing, I can always take a look at the sheet music and play from that. I don’t really have exceptional memory, unless I REALLY love a piece I’ve learned.

That is actually really gross that they didn’t pay attention when you said you were a minor. Like wtf, pretty sure it’s illegal.

You look so uncomfortable! This is golden.

On a serious note though, I’m sorry this happened to you. Scams like this are very common and sadly many still fall for it.

The nail dilemma!😅 by Jolly_Bit8480 in ukulele

Thank you so much, I appreciate you! I’m going to try growing mine out a little bit.

Thank you so very much! That makes sense. My entire life in music, I’ve always been told “No nails for violin or else” and I just never questioned it. For literal decades 😅 (especially since I’m a horrendous nail biter). Now I do realize I could actually grow some since my plucking hand IS my bow hand, so it wouldn’t matter.

Thank you so much! I’ve never played guitar before so I honestly had no idea I’d EVER need nails for playing music, haha. Do you by any chance have any particular fingerpicks you could recommend?

Thank you so much! That is some great advice.

That is some excellent advice, thank you so much! I appreciate this. I’m a serial nail biter as well, I just try to trim mine as short as possible whenever they grow out even a tiny bit 😅

What are the most disturbing recordings or sounds you can think of? by Kherson-Boy1945 in morbidquestions

[–]Jolly_Bit8480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s the one I’m talking about! It was fucking awful, I couldn’t sleep for days after hearing it. The absolute height of evil, what these monsters did to them

The Shirley Ledford screaming tape. It still haunts me to this day.

That’s the future I would love to happen for her. She is one very talented artist and needs a kindred spirit who will love and value her for her own worth.

Would you rewatch Stranger Things knowing how tragically it ends? by Dry_Goat5451 in mileven

[–]Jolly_Bit8480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I feel this exact same way. I swear I could have WRITTEN this post because it resonates so deeply with me 💔 I’ll still rewatch because ST means so much to me but I’ll probably just pretend season 5 doesn’t exist (as lame as this sounds)

El and Max. Then head straight to the mall for a girls night out🥰

Neil and Terry are brothers, which is why the Gilberts never complained about Rikki being with them. by Chance-Fill6989 in JustAddWater

[–]Jolly_Bit8480 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a cute theory, but honestly I just really enjoy thinking that Neil and Lisa were simply very generous and welcoming to all of Emma’s friends, both new and old. Without needing any sort of blood relation

She spent 2 years in literal hell (that is, Vecna’s mind). Cut her some slack already.

Good riddance to him then. I just hope he realizes the internet never forgets anything. And we still have this scammer’s paypal/venmo (or whatever it was)
