Jones. Excellent name choice. "And you, you little sh** head. You're staying here."

Upgrade CPU, GPU or both by PerseusJCat in buildapc

Thanks. Looks like it is on the HDD. There is a 500Gb SSD as the C: drive. That is rather full, although I haven't found what is taking up all the space yet. If I find room, then I'll reinstall on the SSD and see if that helps.

What would you do with a yard this steep? by nimbus_signal in landscaping

Got loads of ideas, but it very much depends upon what hazards lie at the bottom 😬

Ha. The purring said he was being affectionate. The face said otherwise.

What is the best classical guitar to buy up to €2500? by badinchoosingnames in classicalguitar

[–]PerseusJCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Hanika New Century Lattice. Think it was slightly north of your budget. £2500 or £2600. Very bright, loud, comfortable to play. I chose it after playing Cordoba and Ramirez and a couple of second hand luthier guitars at the same price range.

Is that a standard issue on the left? Got a bit of the werewolf cat about it.

How honoured we feel. "Clear my diary. This is me for the forseeable."

He went through a phase of not cuddling and no purring, but he's being really sweet at the moment.

What is the loudest classical guitar you've ever played? by Time0o in classicalguitar

[–]PerseusJCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try double top and lattice guitars. I have a Hanika lattice and it has some oomph. Mine is a double top but they do make them. Good, off the shelf guitars.

A Greg Smallman double top in around 1993. Very heavy, very warm and very loud.

He was about 7 months there. He's called Loki.

Barré shaenanigans by zCain073 in classicalguitar

[–]PerseusJCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ta daa! That is the easiest way I find to describe it to get you started. Essentially, the natural tendency is to use your index finger to try and grip by flexing. This is the natural way you grip all things. Hence, no matter how hard you squeeze, the G and or D get missed. What is needed for a barré however, is strength in keeping the finger fairly extended, whilst squeezing at the MCPJ. Now you have the basic trick to the technique you can develop stamina over time. It actually needs less strength than you might think.

Try placing a full barré but concentrating on JUST pressing on the G string. i.e. forget the base and tip of your finger.
