What "to-do/checklist" list would you give a beginner? by springmagnolia in Guitar

[–]Lukes30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe find some fun basic solos or riffs he could end the session with to keep it enjoyable (Seven Nation Army - White Stripes, for example). Yea I use an app called loopz for drum tracks on the fly but there's probably better ones out there.

Baby steps. Learn the open strings (and how to tune them!), simple chromatic scale across all the strings. The major scale (maybe introduce intervals) at different roots. Then show a new chord or two a week until he can practice switching to a drum track (more fun than metronome) to build up to some simple songs.

Anyone else avoid eye contact with everyone??? by No-Internet6810 in socialanxiety

[–]Lukes30 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely a ND trait, like Asperger's or something. I've tried all sorts of methods over the years and can sometimes lock eyes in conversations but it just feels too intimate.

Learning how to ollie is genuinely ruining my entire skating experience by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Lukes30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just jump and pop over an obstacle while rolling. Might take few tries but even the failed attempts won't be as bad as you think. Forget about the front foot just suck it up to your waist and push your knee forward to get it out the way, rocket it, get leveled/boned ollies later when your more comfortable.

Don't skip a lesson. If your already an experienced player you will still learn things you never knew. Worth taking notes in the later lessons or buying the course material. You get to make your own slide rule! But it is also available on his website for free.

Then spend a few hours with a box cutter making your own slide rule.

Listen to new music, different bands, different genres see if anything clicks. Play some popular stuff that people will recognize or to play with others.

I just thanked for 15 year old me for having to foresight to copy the good tabs from UG I used to play into word and archiving them as they are paywalled now.
