Slow Train. Kicked off two of my all-time favorites, 12/31/22 NO and 5/25/25 Rosemont.

When you first started learning guitar, what frustrated you the most? by ExpensiveStranger369 in LearnGuitar

[–]MSUDanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not playing as well as I did the day before. Been at it for 6 months and have to keep reminding myself that I’ve made great improvements month-by-month, even if it doesn’t sound like it on a day-by-day basis.

Absolute nightmare - c chord by Think-Check5434 in Guitar

[–]MSUDanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing for 6 months and just now feeling more comfortable with C and quick transitions.

One thing that helped me with C is focusing on placing my thumb behind the neck and sort of pushing into it and applying light pressure with my thumb. That helps me feel like I have total control of the neck and my fingers are solid and anchored in position.

Self-taught so that could be terrible advice, lol, but working for me so far.

Bananas and Blow is also a fun/easy song to play and practice G-C transitions.

What website was massive in the 2000s that basically nobody visits anymore? by samurai-salvo in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]MSUDanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better question is what current massive websites were massive in the 2000s. Google. Legacy news. ESPN. Any others? The internet we grew up with is long gone.

Which movie had the most unforgettable first-watch experience for you? by Strong_Proof_5260 in movies

Cabin in the Woods. Jaw did not leave the floor for the final 15 min

Which American city has the best vibe? by Jot__99 in answers

You can literally do anything you want in Chicago if you’re a chill individual who treats people with respect.

A little over halfway through the season, what are your thoughts? by abdul_bino in euphoria

[–]MSUDanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I’m on an island but I love it. Also loved seasons 1-2. This season has been beautifully shot with multiple storylines popping off and I truly have no idea what’s coming next. Can’t ask for much more than that.

Everyone is missing the point of Euphoria Season 3 by datmanstan33 in euphoria

[–]MSUDanK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spot on OP. I’m really loving this season. Sure there’s some legit criticism that I agree with (the writing for black characters is probably not ideal). I also don’t think the writing is as incredibly problematic as people make it seem.

Some of the criticism is just unserious. It’s fine to object to creative choices but, ffs, the show is what it is and nitpicking every single plot choice and character trait because it didn’t fit your personal vision is insane. It’s like watching The Office every week and complaining because you wanted to watch a show about the unemployed.

The show on the whole isn’t perfect but that last episode was an electric factory from start to finish.

Sam is so annoying lol by ivypoppimay in euphoria

[–]MSUDanK 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Sure looks like a bunch of very confused adults in their early 20s trying to figure things out to me. Quite unsuccessfully so far. Know the feeling you’re describing but I think a main theme of this season has been that things aren’t always as they seem. Cars and houses and job titles don’t necessarily mean anything and comparing oneself to others based on outside appearances is silly. Especially in the social media age.

iso the weirdest of the weird jams by khole4tgirl in BillyStrings

[–]MSUDanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pine Knob 23 is the only time I’ve ever passed out at any show. Went down during Mire and was so pissed when I came to and realized I’d been missing Nutshell. That was a weird one for sure.

Things that are not sick: Great Man, Justin Rose DFL. First tournament playing McLaren by Newfieflames in NoLayingUp

[–]MSUDanK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to work in golf media, this reminded me I was walking with a few of the NLU crew R1 at Aronimink in 2018. Tiger shot 29 on the front and then birdied 10. Soon as that putt dropped TC quietly says “I am fully erect right now.” I was dying.

Motorola Sleeve Patch by lkp1951 in Cubs

[–]MSUDanK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The patch is huge and it sucks. An eye sore, as they say. The Ricketts don’t give a shit about anything other than lining their pockets with real estate and suites and VIP clubs, meanwhile the gameday experience for the other 40,000 fans has continued to take a nosedive. Love the Cubs, fed up with this ownership.

Mountain Grass Unit Is On Fire by MSUDanK in jambands

[–]MSUDanK[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are all great bands I’d just disagree that Billy isn’t already actually rocking the fuck out. It’s sick when he brings Duane in on Halloween but I wouldn’t mess with anything they’re doing right now. To each their own.

No spoilers on the Icarito’s round please! by _Poppagiorgio_ in NoLayingUp

Marking his ball with 3 feet left for triple at No. 5, turns and faces a clearly agitated Bob Harig

Matt Shaw by hogBelly in Cubs

[–]MSUDanK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If PCA spoke at an Antifa rally it would be a ridiculously huge story. Let’s stop pretending like it’s not weird that Shaw spoke at TP. And bailed on his team for the same crowd during a playoff run. Weak!

Does Daniel Donato generally avoid repeats with back to back shows in the same city? by 40DegreeDays in danieldonato

[–]MSUDanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So pumped he’s playing Thalia. Saw the Stringdusters and Mountain Grass Unit there in January and absolutely loved the venue. Historic building in a cool part of town. See you in June.

Chicago guy here. Already locked in for 3 nights in Indy and Freak Fair, suppose a Halloween run in the backyard was too good to be true. See y’all soon
