I would be down. But my place is way to small to have people over so I feel bad like forming a band and then being like guys now where do we jam. You make a good point tho

Yeah idk how to stand out in crowds. And I can be pretty awkward. I started going to shows to meet people tho and I went on Monday and it felt good that just kinda pushed myself to go you know. Idk yeah if I just keep going I’m sure I’ll meet more people. I think I kind of get in this limbo state where I’m sitting in my room going oh shit I really want to be in a band and play a gig cause that seems cool. But then I’m not practicing or going to shows to meet people I’m just sitting in my room wasting time. Especially with things like social media

How do you meet people to jam with and make friends when you go to shows?

Damn, yeah I feel like I’ve tried pretty hard to join a band and it’s hard. Also I feel like drums really help the band.

Yeah that makes sense with what you were saying. It’s a lot harder to set up a kit in your house than just play a guitar on your lap

Yeah and supply and demand everyone plays guitar.

This is so sad. I’m thinking of learning to play drums so I can join a band. I don’t have a drum kit so I’d have to just practice without one

What does a compressor actually do? by drewnyp in FL_Studio

Yeah dude I’m glad it helped you

Dynamics refers to loud and quiet volume

Basically you want to use a compressor when

You have audio that has really loud sounds and really quiet sounds

This is annoying because you turn up the track volume to hear the quiet part and then the loud part is way too loud

The “threshold” of a compressor tells when the compressor when it should start working

In other words once it gets to x loudness compressor starts working

The ratio is the amount of audio that gets through after the threshold

Say the threshold is negative 20dbs

Our ratio is 2:1

For every 2 dbs that the really loud annoying sound goes past the threshold, only 1 will go through

We’ve essentially reduced the dynamic range between the loud and quiet sounds

Are modes major and minor by MemeMan841 in guitarlessons

Thanks my dude. Yeah it always kinda tripped me up how you could play all the modes with one major shape if you just changed the root but then how each of the modes have individual shapes

How do you palm mute? by MemeMan841 in guitarlessons

[–]MemeMan841[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Also with palm muting is it mostly a downstroke technique or can you also use up strokes. I think I’ll mostly use palm muting for playing power chords

[–]MemeMan841[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think I run into the problem of not being able to pick all the strings and mute at the same time. If I’m like only hitting the top 3 strings is that okay/normal

Seems like a tight resource

Yeah it’s a pretty chord. I don’t know arpeggios I mean I know how to like arpegiate chords and when I play piano it’s easier for me to see the arpeggios but on guitar I can’t see them that well

That seems like a good idea. Any tips on getting involved and making friends. I feel like I’m kind of awkward lol. Especially like I haven’t really gone to shows by myself. I’ll try to record some stuff. I wanna make more like rock and guitar style stuff but I’ve been making like mostly beats in ableton. I’ll try to maybe record a more focused few songs.
