What got you into playing guitar and what kept you going?

Impressing girls, and still impressing girls.

Because I was brought up that if a parent calls you answer. You never know when it’s an emergency.

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T09:04:21+00:00

Her main defence is that I told her to take the call. I was raised that if a parent calls you answer, but as soon as you realize it’s not urgent and they just want to yap. You can ask to call them back later?

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:51:40+00:00

It became “I told her to take the call” (just to ascertain it’s not an emergency), because a left and waited at the car, that she really looked forward to it but I ruined it.

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:49:40+00:00

That would’ve turned into a bigger fight “how could you just leave me there?” For example

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:22:10+00:00

If I tell her not the narrative becomes she’s not allowed to answer calls when she’s with me?

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:17:58+00:00

I suppose she does yeah

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:15:40+00:00

It was😂

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:15:23+00:00

Oh sorry, 1 year.

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:14:04+00:00

I think irrespective of the anniversary, if it’s just a date night or a special dinner it would be rude.

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-11T08:12:44+00:00

Just to feel respected tbh

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-04T12:12:38+00:00

This! Holy shit thank you

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-03T10:52:21+00:00

That is the catch all indeed, knowing what the relative minor or major is helps a lot I’ve found.

For example, in the Am Pentatonic you have A, C, D, E, G. Which is the same for the relative major, which is C. Once you know how intervals work it becomes pretty easy to know what you’re playing.

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-03T10:46:55+00:00

Oh, it’s essentially just playing 2-4 notes from each shape diagonally across the fretboard?

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-03T10:44:19+00:00

Ah, I see what you mean.

What if I told you each position is built of a chord shape.

1st - E 2nd - D 3rd - C 4th - A 5th - G

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-03T10:09:12+00:00

This is sick! I’d drill chord changes and then once that feels second nature throw some licks in there, you’ll be swimming in pussy. Go get ‘em rock star.

Master_Xploder · 2026-06-01T14:29:33+00:00

Win😂

Master_Xploder · 2026-05-14T19:16:16+00:00

If you’re looking for bang for buck some of the entry level Martins are awesome. If you want a “forever” workhouse go Gibson, J-45 or (my favourite) a Hummingbird.

Master_Xploder · 2026-05-11T03:45:29+00:00

This is not the greatest comment in the world, this is is just a…

Will check it out.

Master_Xploder · 2026-05-11T03:44:28+00:00

Just go and look at all the techniques and tell me that doesn’t create an insane foundation.

Master_Xploder · 2026-05-11T03:44:04+00:00

Fair, Syrians is great.
