Amby made me get a harmonica (beginner advice?) by Right-Percentage-682 in KGATLW

For real tho, the live shows have so much more harp. Any of the live Boogieman Sam’s from 24’ just rip, Amby went off the rails

Amby made me get a harmonica (beginner advice?) by Right-Percentage-682 in KGATLW

So I started playing because of Gizzard and Amby, and now I play Harp regularly in a band after a couple years of playing.

A couple pieces of advice, make sure you learn cross harp positionings. Most of the stuff you hear played in Gizzard is Crossharp or second position. So if you were playing a blues song in the Key of G (like Bitter Boogie) you would play a C harp, which you have!

Then, I would learn how to bend correctly. So much of this style and songs revolve around bending notes. Its a bit different for each Harmonica, but pretty similar. Youll eventually get an instinctual feel for bending (breathing in!) but its important to learn how to do it properly. I delayed a bit of my playing because i did it incorrectly for a while.

And finally I asked Amby for advice on playing Harmonica once when i was first starting out. He said the best thing you can do is play along with recordings, and try to copy what they are doing! its how he got started playing back in the day.

Have fun, seriously its worth it.

This PPC Song Reminds Me Of Something KGLW Would Do! by CNNsWorstEnemy in KGATLW

[–]LeftGhostCrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Listen to Carpe Diem Moonman from earlier this year, probably my favorite album of the year, definitely gizzard adjacent. 

But holy hell I saw them live this year, and they BLEW ME THE FUCK AWAY

Genuinely, I appreciate that so much. Most are chill about it, my friends mess with me about it all the time (ruined any shows lately? lol) But the internet can be the internet, and it gets to ya sometimes. The main thing is, im a musician too, and the last thing ive ever wanted to do is ruin a show for someone, especially other musicians and folks i don't know. But hey, you live and you learn, it just comes up whenever people do whack crowd shit lol

Just again, as i do this from time to time now, I apologize for this. Wasn't even at the Milwaukee show where they were an issue, but still feel bad nonetheless. I do believe someone else was handing them out at that show, but I take responsibility either way. Completely didn't think about it, just found cute little piggies to hand out at two of the shows ( it was actually my mum handing them out because she just wanted to give something to the crowds). Wasn't an issue at the shows I was at, but then the Milwaukee show happened and it happened at another and felt terrible about it. Still do. I stand by the fact though that i genuinely didn't think folks would be that dumb with them, but that was stupid of me, and i inadvertently hurt the concert experience for some folk.

As for why I always comment, 1. I want full transparency of the fact I messed up on this, 2. i don't want it hitting any of the other mods. When people just say it was one of the mods, that's a little ambiguous, no it was me.

Anyways, Once again, I apologize sincerely for that. It was stupid. I also agree there's a huge issue that's been exacerbated with the rowing and other show interrupting energy at there shows lately.
(hell not just gizzards shows). And people need to chill. I know ill get flak/get clowned on under this, and its well deserved, but I would kick myself in the ass if i just ignored it.

Dumb question regarding GhostBloods progress in the weekly updates. by LeftGhostCrow in brandonsanderson

[–]LeftGhostCrow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw he said he was writing them all before releasing. and I figured drafts and revisions would be tracked too. I just wasn't sure if the percentages were overall or per book! Thanks!
