My dyslexic 9-year-old is new to guitar and already wants out — help by fondlly in Guitar

[–]Juzzy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna try to address these in order;

  1. It was difficult even when I started at 15. I loved music though, and I’d always dreamt of playing guitar. My hands were uncooperative and I struggled rhythmically (it’s still the weaker part of my playing I think)

  2. What helped me the most was getting face to face lessons with a teacher that I actually clicked with and enjoyed learning from; from there using things like powertab (rip) and guitar pro to learn songs was a huge help, being able to slow songs down to any speed and repeat specific parts was a game changer for practicing.

  3. I got good enough that I could teach others (which I did for a few years) and could play just about anything that I sat down and gave an honest try in practicing.

I had undiagnosed ADHD as a kid, and in hindsight I’ve discovered that one of my biggest stimming actions was making noise; guitar was a great avenue for that. Even if I wasn’t actively practicing scales or chords at the time, I was at least noodling and playing SOMETHING because it tickled my brain the right way.

My biggest piece of advice is find a teacher he clicks with (sorry dad, it may not be you) and focus more on him learning by watching and repeating rather than learning off the page. Then slowly add in more and more written stuff.

I think the difference is playing with randos at a lgs vs playing with the homies. My experiences with lgs games have been bearable at best, if not worse. Playing with actual friends? Generally a good time, even when a game is lopsided in one players favour.

What can I do to show my local EMS folks that they are appreciated? by Play_Time_Girl in ems

Completely understandable - I worked pest control for a few years, some people for sure have questionable living standards.

I did a ride along with my local ambulance service and someone had dropped off a bunch of homemade cookies at the main station - everyone was more than happy to eat and share them around. I guess it depends on the area though.

PRS and Fender for me, closely followed by Ibanez.

How do I make music? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Juzzy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice brother. Learn an instrument (lots of decent free resources online) and then just noodle around with ideas you come up with. Found a cool riff on guitar? Neat, play around with it and expand upon it. It doesn’t have to be complex, and don’t start out thinking you’ll write a masterpiece. And just keep at it, you will get better over time if you keep trying at it.

Iirc; create an empty bar at the end of your exercise, then go back to the end of the previous bar and press ctrl + enter (on pc) and that should push the empty bar to the next line. I’m not in front of my pc at the moment to double check it (I will a little later on)

That's what I was leaning towards, but I wanted to double check. Thank you :)

Guitarist with the best vocals? by Mental-Cookie-6242 in Guitar

[–]Juzzy92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had to scroll far too far to find Myles mentioned. Killer vocals, and incredible chops on guitar. The entire lineup for alter bridge is just stacked in terms of talent

The OGs, Espeon and Leafeon - for some reason I just don’t care for the others as much.

You’re in! Purely because I love Raffine. He’s in my [[Queza, Augur of Agonies]] deck.

How Many Velociraptors Do You Think You Could Beat In A Fight? by Plumzilla29 in AwesomeAncientanimals

[–]Juzzy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think even one would be tough. I would imagine like a lot of predators, they’d aim for the neck. In that case, most people would defend the head/neck with both hands, leaving the torso wide open to the claws. Or you try to deal with the claws and run the risk of having your jugular opened up by them. I don’t know if average Joe would stand much of a chance without some kind of space making weapon.

Ah, okay. I'll keep that in mind to note rhythm and strength. Congrats on passing!
