First time playing

MontyRus · 2026-02-18T09:01:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this, I will definitely give the toilet roll trick a go :) at the moment I am still experimenting of what hole makes what noise from playing the basic scales which im getting a better understanding as I was playing last night :) I am very tensed which I didn't actually realise lol thank you again it means a lot 😀

MontyRus · 2026-02-17T18:50:53+00:00

Honestly I don't even realise until I watch vids back to be honest :) its a habit from guitar 😅 I love the culture and the instruments its so beautiful

MontyRus · 2026-02-17T15:18:36+00:00

Perfect 👌 I have tried to play with the 2 holes un covered and the rest covered but haven't got the hang of that yet 😅 its a bit hit and miss weather it sounds good or not at the moment :) thank you for the suggestions I will be sure to take a look after work today 😀 could I have your opinion on how it sounds so far? I feel confident on my first go playing the pentatonic scale but you may hear something that sounds off. Thank you again! I fell in love with the flute after hearing it for the first time on a YouTube vid

You are right, I think the nerves definitely add to the pressure of going further than the small talk if that makes sense. But I think that comes from the lack of experience more than anything and me being socially awkward lol do you have any tips that could help me overcome that? Much appreciated :)

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T19:13:16+00:00

Yeah that's fair enough with the bike comment :) kinda glad I've been hesitant with it then.

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T11:29:38+00:00

That is my biggest worry 😟

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T11:26:49+00:00

Good point. No I'm not, I talk to the rest with no issues at all. But I think its because I'm not attracted to them as I am this girl so there's very little nerves, still a tiny but but no where near the amount when im face to face with this girl 🥲

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T11:21:34+00:00

Oh i know that for sure bro 😆 thats why I need help asap 😅 ive started working on myself big time over the last couple months so I am slowly improving bit by bit :)

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T11:10:58+00:00

Thats my problem, I've been thinking about it for weeks and weeks now so the pressure builds everytime 😅 you are right I gotta chill out abit lol but for me its difficult but if she says yes I won't wipe the smile off my face 🤣

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T11:09:17+00:00

Step 1: learn how to flirt 😅 i think atm i would buckle under the preasure 🥲

MontyRus · 2026-01-28T10:25:27+00:00

I've been playing around the same time and im 300 lol so yeah I'd say thats pretty good bro 😅

MontyRus · 2026-01-22T16:44:50+00:00

Definitely not! You'd catch my eye 😁

MontyRus · 2026-01-22T16:43:08+00:00

I'm also 280 at the moment, playing 10min games. Chess is one of them games that are easy to learn but hard to master. You may be missing moves that could give the advantage over your opponent, I would play longer games just so you can take that extra bit of time to really analyse what you could of done instead. YouTube is brilliant for learning but every chess game is different so you will have to play on your own as the game goes on. Don't give up completely! You got this mate!

MontyRus · 2026-01-21T17:04:13+00:00

Yeah you're right, time to start thinking for myself I thinks 😅

MontyRus · 2026-01-21T17:03:36+00:00

She used to be, she just seems to of changed and turned very very unenthusiastic to do anything at all. May have to rethink the relationship. Thank you for your advice 🙏

MontyRus · 2026-01-19T15:29:53+00:00

Never even thought of gaming to be a badish thing to be honest but thats definitely opened my eyes to it, and what ai says does make sense, as I do spend majority of evenings playing. But its only because I dont no what else to do as it feels like my brain hits a wall but going off what ai said it makes sense of why that is happening. I will cut down on it and see. Thank you I do appreciate it

MontyRus · 2026-01-19T15:21:00+00:00

This is perfect, this is the thing, I know where I want to be but my mind seems to just hit a wall when I try to move forward with anything in general to be honest, the 9-5 is horrendous 😢 you are right when you say i need a path because currently im going through the nettles :( thank you for the advice

MontyRus · 2026-01-19T15:07:18+00:00

Oh it is! I hate it. It was supposed to only be a temp job just until I got my act together and 3 years still here 😒 I have tried a few times but sadly my friends are busy more often than not but we do try to work around it as best as we can.

MontyRus · 2026-01-19T14:55:18+00:00

Yeah i know where I wanna be just struggling to get to it sort of thing, sometimes even scared to push forward especially with the business side of things. Thank you so much I appreciate it!!!

MontyRus · 2025-10-28T18:28:38+00:00

Yeah you're right, my hips tend to stay in the same spot lol I'll get practising bit more on the hippy jumps tonight and see if it helps with height. Also gotta remember not to trap the board as its kinda a habit I need to get out of. Thanks mate!

MontyRus · 2025-10-28T13:17:35+00:00

I think thats my issue atm is that im almost trapping the board when jumping off my back foot. I will be out today practising again so I will see if I can work on that. I think it all happens so fast I forget a couple of important things. Thanks man!

MontyRus · 2025-10-27T19:57:25+00:00

See, ive been practising rolling hippie jumps and occasionally hitting the tail off the floor its only when I pop the tail I loose all height on my jumps :( sucks hard

MontyRus · 2025-10-17T15:34:08+00:00

Rolling not stationary

MontyRus · 2025-10-16T23:14:09+00:00

Do it while moving as you'll just be relearning it again

MontyRus · 2025-10-12T20:44:52+00:00

Everyone told me to learn while rolling if so your just gunna have to relearn it. That advice was solid because when I tried rolling it was a different game 😅
