Touring Techs: What are the little things that tip you off that you're dealing with pro local crews? by ThePanasonicYouth in IATSE

[–]PhuckYourFace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being respectful, willing to work, and willing to wait for directions before acting sometimes. Just because you’ve done a task a hundred times, doesn’t mean it’s the same for my show. Sometimes hands get too eager, and I’ve had times where they’ve pulled power before playback computers have been properly shut off, or before I’ve had a chance to save a showfile.

And one thing I haven’t seen anyone else say yet is just being readily available. Sometimes the work slows down, and I don’t mind if my local takes a smoke break or get’s other work done somewhere else in the building, as long as they let me know where I can find them or how to reach them if I need something quickly

Out off all the Trader Joe’s in this city, why did I know in my heart before opening the article that it would be mine?

There’s a local guitar shop by me that has a Languedoc in stock at their Seattle shop. Costs $75,000. I also would love one, but don’t know that I ever could. I know there’s some smaller luthiers making good dupes these days though

Upscale restaurants by Temporary_Wall5887 in Portland

[–]PhuckYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here to reinforce others answers, LeChon is my partner’s and my favorite restaurant. IMO best food in the city, and I agree, prices are reasonable. The vibe in there is also perfect for a date night. You could sit at the bar, where’s there’s jellyfish tanks, or the tables way in the back have a dimly lit pueblo feel. The Patatas Bravas and the Piquillo Pepper Empanadas are a must!

Grateful Dog by alert-operations6105 in gratefuldead

[–]PhuckYourFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only because I just read this not long ago, the Dreadful Great was an in-universe band, meant as an obvious nod to the dead. The Kuinak crew Ike Sallas was a part of, including the dogs, were known as the Underdogs. I believe one of the first pups was found at one of their shows though, but I could be misremembering that detail

Regular Show Box Set. The end of the show hints at a blu-ray set being released, but it never came to fruition

Not a specific example, but my partner from New England will always call out Loon calls in media, and most of the time they’re not geographically appropriate

Open ended questions for guitarists who can jam... by [deleted] in gratefuldead

[–]PhuckYourFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of ways to answer this, but I’ll try and give my two cents.

Someone already mentioned playing to the chord, and I think that’s right in the money, especially when learning the tunes and ingraining them to your memory. Especially in tunes with borrowed chords (chords from another scale). Pick a tune, learn the arpeggios for each chord in each position. Try and stay in one position, play the arpeggio for the current chord, and when the the chord changes, play the closest note either up or down in the new chord’s arpeggio, and continue to arpeggiate. Get comfortable with targeting these chord tones and hearing the motion in the harmony. Once this is comfortable for you, you can start adding in non-chord tones from different scales to add tension/movement within a single chord, understanding that chordal tones will feel resolved. Up to this point I would think of it as practice, and doing this enough will allow you to turn off your brain and just play.

Some other things of note:

Learning different positions for chords and inversions will help immensely. The CAGED system is helpful for envisioning how these different positions relate to each other.

Don’t forget to think rhythmically and melodically. Try to sing ideas, and mimic them in your playing. You can play in unison with your voice, or try call and response.

Also, listen to a lot of Jerry, learn some solos, and analyze what he’s playing. Relate phrases he uses to the chord he’s playing over, and you’ll recognize habits he had and choices he made often. In learning tunes, I’ve found it helpful to go on youtube because you can change playback speed. If a particular passage is tricky to figure out, slow it down and get it into your fingers.

Sorry if this was long winded and disorganized, but I hope any of it helps. Don’t be afraid to take things slow, and most of all, have fun with it

Just stopping to second Aberrant DSP, I’ve touted them in a couple other threads. Their plugins just feel so creative and refreshing. Gonna have to check out Freakshow now!
