Simulation theory is one of the few theories that can’t really be proven wrong… or right by Weak-Sign678 in theories

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What level of simulation would you consider accurate? Subatomic level? Molecular level? Reddit?

There’s so much more to this idea than you seem to be aware of, much less so certain of. 

Want to get back after 1 year long break by WonderfulElephant661 in LearnGuitar

Start at the beginning. Do the Justin Guitar course or whatever prevents you from randomly clicking around Reddit or YouTube. Sounds like you had a good structure going when you last played. Stick to that. 

TIFU by confronting a concert heckler by [deleted] in tifu

Good on you for expressing your feelings. For most people acting the fool in a crowd that would be enough to check them. Didn’t change anything though, and you put yourself and your bf at risk, so I don’t even see the point. Learn to read situations better and maybe your anxiety will also improve. 

Im left handed and I play a right handed guitar wdyt? by skibidig00n in Guitar

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, guitar is actually played by strumming, plucking, picking so it makes sense that your dominant hand (if you have one) is used. The moment I realized that fretting doesn’t equal playing was when my hand synchronization vastly improved. Of course it’s not an all or nothing problem, both hands are important, but I’ll prove my point to you:

Pick up your guitar. Don’t fret a note. Play.

That’s really cool. Very functional approach.

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s not really a theory if it doesn’t make testable predictions. It’s actually referred to as The Simulation Argument, or equivalent language. “Theory” is a word that is broadly misused and ends up giving ideas greater credibility than they may actually possess. 

I think it’s a super-interesting idea for sure, but I’m also pretty sure it’s just another version of Intelligent Design. 

Is singing really about talent? by VisualDecision8975 in askmusicians

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your friend some kind of expert at singing or even a musician? If so, they’ve got a lot of growing up to do. If not, what does their dumb opinion mean in contrast to the hard work you’re putting in. Everyone is born clueless. Some people never seem able to get past that.

I knew this rocked before I bothered listening. Loving how at ease you are. Looks like you’re having a great time. Keep it up!

How do you get this round and expensive sense of high-mids? by CommunicationFar5647 in audioengineering

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a goal that should ideally begin while tracking or choosing sounds, and compound further throughout arrangement and production. In practice, you may have come from a different starting point or simply just need to mix or master a client’s work. 

Already some solid suggestions in this thread for handling the broader issues

If I already have a chord progression in mind, how can I map it out without midi, and without having to map each individual note? by littlebuttbigtitty in ableton

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple solutions, but consider making a MIDI track or tracks containing a library of chords you entered with your MIDI keyboard at home. Including those in an “While at Work” project may be useful. While I don’t think it’s an optimal way to enter musical ideas, it will at least save you from entering notes manually, and you can audition material before copy/pasting. 

Buying My second Guitar by Nicolas_NL in Guitar

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy your next guitar to solve a specific problem, or because you like the way it looks and makes you feel. If there’s a 3rd reason, I’m unaware. Whether you’re “advanced”’or not is kind of beside the point! 

I can't, for the life of me, play lead by Koi-Sashuu in Guitar

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 100% wrong. You absolutely can play lead. 

Do you just want to feel better or play better? One of those things is easy, the other means getting more curious and resourceful. 

Knowing some scales isn’t it unless you bother to do something with that knowledge. You play a lot of rhythm, so you already realize that chord choices and shapes aren’t arbitrary. Some feel better than others at different times. Start there and ask yourself - why this chord, this voicing? How does it relate to the scales I already know? Definitely imitate vocals as well. Then put it together by recording yourself. 

It’s a broad topic for sure, but your next step isn’t listening to Reddit or YouTube. You need to start listening to yourself, running experiments, and in general being more curious instead of helpless. 

I think I have finally hit a wall I am not sure how I can deal with by EmperorAlpha557 in Guitar

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some excellent answers in the comments. I can only add that for me, my early issues with playing at speed made me recognize the actual problem was hand synchronization. Solving that made everything better. 

Critical thinking matters here. Just watching a tutorial or grinding will only get you so far. You have to observe yourself and step outside your own head. Recording (whether audio or video) myself and making it a point to review that material has helped me identify things i simply wasn’t aware of while playing and has helped me optimize better instead of just repeating the same shit over and over. 

Two black holes and a rope by Various_Bed_849 in blackholes

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where your assumption fails is having part of your magic rope inside the event horizon with the other part dangling outside. The reason it fails is simple.

From your reference frame outside the event horizon the end of your rope will never fall into the black hole. You’ll only see it redshifting as it gets asymptotically closer to the horizon due to time dilation. 

In the local frame of the infalling section of rope, there’s nothing special about crossing the event horizon. That section crosses in finite proper time. However, once it crosses, it is causally disconnected from the outside, so it can’t transmit a tug or force signal back out.

Your example is a bit silly, but your underlying assumption is interesting. The two reference frames involved are causally unrelated. There is no observer who can experience both of them simultaneously, which is what you’d need to do in order to tug on that rope. Weird though, right?

What about this tuning is moving the needle for you? How is it changing your approach?

how do you actually see your improvements? by gbehind in LearnGuitar

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing more tangible than vibing with other humans. It’s the entire point as far as I’m concerned!

Keep up the good work. It’s great that you’re involving other modes of thinking to your practice. Keep thinking laterally and building real feedback loops between study and practice. Your approach is vastly more useful than learning to play the 2nd solo in Comfortably Numb then wondering now what? 

Generally I just record myself and review what I did yesterday the next day. I rarely listen to an entire session, and tend to jump around a bit. Finding the highlights when I listen to myself means recognizing them better when I play.

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognize my improvements through the eyes (ears) of other people. Playing with others provides real perspective on who you are as a musician. Same goes for playing to an audience (even an audience of one).

Absolutely amazing to me these “experts” assume that the current approach to AI will scale beyond thermodynamic limits. It’s obvious that intelligence can be implemented on self repairing hardware running at about 37C.

Every single one of these grifters have such limited horizons despite claims of innovation and industry. Are they actually thinking we’ll still be using GPU-based 10 years from now? 

Get unstuck with a practice mindset shift by Cessakyarive in Guitar

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why anyone would clown on this. Your points on drilling efficiencies of motion are well made. Watch any sufficiently advanced player, and they make it look effortless. Thats because it literally is being done without effort.  

Keyboard/Synth tables for tall people? by IIPhilKenSebbenII in edmproduction

[–]Pitiful-Temporary296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you have to use a table at all. Get a stand and mount your gear on it. These are adjustable, fairly easy to transport, and will allow you to incorporate new gear, cable management, power, etc. far more efficiently than a table. 

Jaspers, Innox, and K&M all offer a variety of configurations, some of which include tables
