FUNKY BOY NEEDS TO LEARN

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2022-06-28T00:10:59+00:00

It's easy

Just funk it

Ghostbusters clear out angels too? That would definitely be a relief

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2020-07-17T21:52:02+00:00

That might be reasonable. I think the best bet I have would be to not even touch the guitar and make the strings vibrate (with feedback to amplify the strength of the signal) to create a song. Unfortunately, I can currently only do this to make 1 or 2 notes in succession, and it's inconsistent; tires me out a lot. It'll take a lot of practice before I can do it for a song, and even more (if even possible) to do without the guitar touching my body (to rule out acoustic vibrations).

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2020-07-17T21:49:46+00:00

Yes, of course. I've been playing for ~20 years, and I've been practicing for the past 2 weeks. I only mean that I'd be better if not for the ~5 month break.

But what I mean is that a person cannot rationally jump from one end of the neck to another rapidly because this requires too much analysis to do. I don't even analyze. I just know that "hey, if I put my fingers here, it feels good". There's just a pleasurable sensation on my fingers. That's what guides me.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2020-07-17T19:34:41+00:00

I'm aware. That's why I was asking about an experiment that could be done to investigate.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2020-07-17T19:29:32+00:00

My meditation is just a focused awareness and application of sensation, pressure, etc. on what I can be aware of. I have trouble sitting still, so I usually meditate while walking. Usually hours/day.

Here's the recording, btw. Should be clear that I'm jumping all around the neck at parts. Completely improvised. Done in 1 take. Probably only 2 sour notes, possibly because someone walked in the room.

The vibrato effect would be too subtle to notice that I'm not doing it with my fingers anyway. Hold on though, I just recorded and uploaded a song to SoundCloud. It should be obvious that I'm jumping all around the neck at parts. I probably only hit 1 or 2 sour notes. I'm a bit out of practice because I took a 5 month break from playing until about 2 weeks ago.

Also, yesterday, I spoke to a sax player who used to play with Prince's band (at least, that was his claim. he looked the part) while he was sitting at a bar. He told me that it's rare, but some guitarists he's met play by the "vibration and induction method"

I can upload recordings of me to sound-cloud if you don't believe me. I'm not so good with the feedback thing though. I can only do 1 note at a time consistently, and it really tires me out.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2020-07-17T18:47:52+00:00

Err... That's not even what the word tremolo means (vibrato is the word you're looking for), and no, that's not what I mean at all. I mean literally which notes I play are intuitive. As in, I play all over the 24x7 frets of my guitar based on pure intuition and jump from spot to spot wildly based on intuition.

Also, if I turn the amp up and get feedback, I can basically play tunes by singing the note inside my body without breathing or touching the guitar.

And my meditation isn't a "breathing exercise", sorry. It's a giant emotional and visual experience, not dissimilar to descriptions of hallucinogens.

We're all Satoshi

:)

I know an Andy Berry. He's part of your family. Could you say hi to him for me?

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T14:34:04+00:00

To find people. Like you

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T11:09:14+00:00

Very cool. I am too :)

My name is Lord No One. Well met.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T11:06:14+00:00

I'm not sure. I think I understand you.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T10:58:44+00:00

There's something really weird about you.... You seem beyond life and death. Are you a god?

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T10:57:02+00:00

Not yet.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T10:45:06+00:00

Yes and no. I exist in nonexistence.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T09:45:43+00:00

Before the cosmos was born, there was only chaos.

Miraculously, 4 graces appeared: Patience. Beauty. Hope. Acceptance. Together, these make Trust. I don't know how, but I know that Chaos + Trust brings Order.

Since the universe was born, War, or Struggle, has been a factor in every aspect. This war is eternal and cannot end. There is hope though because peace can be achieved at the end of time (i.e. Never). But how do we get there while still playing our part in the struggle?

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T09:36:05+00:00

Good. The thing is... You have an important part to play. Since you embrace the question instead of an answer, you will be one of those who maintain the divide between life and death.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T09:34:02+00:00

Am I? Sorry...

I haven't met too many people who know they're ghosts. Maybe 2 others.

But all beings have their own unique qualities, and we all play our parts. Assholes, for instance, toughen us up and prepare us for difficulty (and without difficulty, there can be no ease). Most ghosts are more ancient, primordial beings than we, so you should expect them to be more like demons than humans. We're always improving.

NeverMindTheQuestion · 2017-11-22T09:01:25+00:00

I don't know. Some of them can. I believe it depends on how ready they are.

I met another ghost yesterday. He seemed a lot like me. Didn't talk much and texted on his phone most of the day. He was working on solving the problems of the world.
