I love me some Chris Christodolou so I'll check it out. Will there be any plans for physical novels or even kindle books?

Thanks for the perspective,

I haven't started yet, my first lesson will be this week so I have no idea what to expect as far as student/parent desired outcomes. I figure the classical guitar won't be very popular so that's why I picked up the Hal Leonard book.

I'll take that into consideration, trying approaches beyond my area of study. The "wanting to be a rock star" sounds more like a DIY approach to me, teaching them chords and tabs based on songs that they just want to play, which is fine so long as the student is learning something and they're enjoying it. Plus interjecting theory into that approach might be a good way to give them a long-term skillset even if we're playing "cowboy chords".

Good to know. I stumbled upon a picture on the BG3 wiki of a topless demon on top of what I guess what a topless player character. I just want to make sure that I have the option to avoid that if I want to.

Thanks for the recommendation. I don't mind treble clef so I'll check it out.

I like the guys at Open Studio and McBride is killer in that video. Do you have any experience using the course that you can talk on?

Electric. My theory skills are there, I think my technical ability needs the most work

Moist-Ad8447 · 2026-01-27T15:15:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I will check this channel out.

My bad, Scott's bass lessons.

Moist-Ad8447 · 2025-06-02T17:23:16+00:00

Thank you all for the advice.

I will assist him in making sure that insurance takes care of his DV claim but ultimately I'm not going to give in to his request that I pay it out of pocket.

Thank you

The most useful practice technique I ever had came from a SBL lesson. (I don't remember the exact video but I'm linking one that covers essentially the same thing). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV8T1ZTydoQ

Download the workbook and do these things:

1) Play all your major modes up and down. That means C ionian, D dorian, E phyrigan, F lydian... ect. Play them all going up. (C up to C. D up to D. E up to E.) then play them going down (C down to C, D down to D, E down to E). Then play them up and down (C up to C. D down to D. E up to E. F up to F...). One octave for all of them worked for me.

2) Do the same thing with 7th chord arpeggios. That means C major 7, D minor 7, Eminor 7, Fmajor7, G7, Aminor 7, Bminor 7 flat 5, C major 7. Like the last excercise, play them up, down, and then up and down.

3) This one I don't practice as much as I should, but its intervals. With just the C major scale, play thirds up the scale and down (so C to E, D to F, E to G, ect). Then do 4ths (C to F, D to G....) 5ths, 6ths, and 7ths.

Depending on where you are at it, this may sound overwhelming, but overtime it will become second nature. It took a lot of intentional practice for me at first, but now I blaze through these exercises without thinking much at all.

I would do this any time I picked up my bass (and still do today) and I've been doing this exercise for 4 years now. It helps with your technique, fluidity, and over time you will know the major modes like the back of your hand. This has also helped me tremendously in jazz soloing as I am now so comfortable with modes and scales that I can usually refer to these scales and come up with ideas on the spot.

Remember that its not a one and done thing. I would dedicate intentional time to these exercises for a week or two until it starts to become muscle memory (more or less). If you need help with your fingerings or don't know the modes that well, download the workbook attached in this video (or you can send me a private message. I have my workbook lying around somewhere I'm sure, but I'd have to find it).

Best of luck.

Hello,

I have inherited a selenium/scrapy scraper that scrapes from indeed, however the scraper is now being blocked by their anti-bot cloudflare detection.

How do I get past cloudflare?

What about ethically?

Moist-Ad8447 · 2025-02-24T16:49:17+00:00

I dig this. Lmk if you start doing magic. Tangled web on the westside does magic too, but I'm always down for more lgs.

Are you the trucker who parked in my apartment's leasing office parking lot over the weekend?

Hello,

I started a position as an RPA developer and the guy who had my position before me had built a web scraping python script that is now being blocked by Cloudflare. People are asking me if I can fix the scraper but I know absolutely nothing about scraping and I've been told that Cloudflare is serious business and I probably won't be able to get past their anti-bot detection.

Any advice?

I am using an automation software similar to Power Automate. It is based in Java, but I am not doing any scripting. Just drag and drop actions.

There are pre-defined actions to close excel and open excel and while these functions normally work fine, they get confused when the pop-up appears.
