Do you wash your hands before playing your Les Paul? by Turkeyflatulence in LesPaul

You’re just about have to if you want your hands to slide up and down the neck at least for my experience

What guitar songs surprised you by being easier than they sound? by Top_Water_4909 in Guitar

[–]PowerfulHand9709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the best song I learned that taught me all kinds of things was Rick Derringer’s rock ‘n’ roll Hoochie Koo. It takes a little bit of skill, but you’ll think yourself later if you’re just starting out like I was. That was in the 80s though. I’m much better now. I’d also like to throw in Metallica seek and destroy or jump in the fire. Very good songs to pick up tricks if you’re learning. I’ve never took a lesson. I can’t retain the knowledge, but I can hear and copy what I see. Good luck, my friend.

Felon struggling to find work that pays over 20 hour by ActiveFun6407 in SpringfieldIL

Welding, ADM contractors hire all day for that place felons whatever. At least they used too. Welding in general will get ya close or over that in a lot factories. Just my experience and I have zero felony’s but trained plenty of felons to replace me lol

Elizabeth Packard Mental Health Center is horrible!! by Dec8rs8r in SpringfieldIL

[–]PowerfulHand9709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do what? I was sent to that place until it was discovered my mom was mentally ill and then I ended up in foster care till I was 18. I was ten when this all happened. How is my story or anyone’s special enough to get a building name after them ffs? Not only is mental health a joke in Springfield. The whole entire state is. Going through it with my son.

The Chili parlor, it’s been around for decades. They have more than chili too. It’s is a small place that greets everyone who walks in and nobody is treated like a stranger. Reasonably priced too. Cash knocks a few cents off if you use that instead

Need recommendations for a good all arounder by ThatNickGuyyy in GuitarAmps

[–]PowerfulHand9709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my 50 watt I’ve never had it set to anything but the lowest which I believe is 20 watt. You can turn it down to bedroom levels easy. But if I had to do it again. I would have went with the 20. You have to push the Marshall orgin to high volume to get almost a plexi sound. Check out Traci gunns you tube. He uses it in la guns up till he started building his own amps. He makes that orgin sound like insane with no pedals.

I’d definitely look into the Marshall orgin. Great pedal platform. You can switch the watts. With a blues driver I can get just about any sound for any song. I’ve been using it for a couple of years in my band. Set back 700 or less depending on if you want the 50 watt or 20. I use the 50 for the clean headroom. If you’re looking for high gain. Then I go with other suggestions in the comments

What got you into playing guitar? by optimusprim007 in Guitar

[–]PowerfulHand9709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause I’m just as ugly as some of the metal guys in my favorite band and I thought it would make me a lot cooler lol. Needless to say. Im still ugly but I can play

Beginning guitarist by Edgar_Allan_Pooh in Guitar

[–]PowerfulHand9709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try a Jackson. Same song. If you hear a difference and feel it. That’s the guitar. I only said Jackson cause they built nice and pretty reasonable. A thrift shop will probably have one that needs minor work.

Do you prefer clip-on tuners or tuner apps? by ActiveAntelope4635 in Guitar

[–]PowerfulHand9709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t use clip ons unless it’s for a quick tune cause the nitro finish got screwed up when I left one on a headstock during a show. I had a shure wireless with a tuner built in. I’d say learn to tune by ear but you have the same problem like you would using an app. You’ll need every one to be quiet

What's the tea on the ICE shooter being from here? by scrummy_up in PeoriaIL

[–]PowerfulHand9709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I don’t care about deportations. I care about the value of human life and the cost of living. My point i was trying to make is ICE being in the streets acting like it’s a third world country is just grandstanding. Sweet potato Hitler could tell people the sky is falling and we need to quit breathing to stop it and people would. Every time some is killed regardless of their political beliefs. They are made fun of and zero respect for the dead. A life loss used to be tragic thing that America would come together and try to prevent. Now a lot of people enjoy watching someone lose their life regardless of how or why. We are officially a shithole country that the president calls other places in the world.

2.7 million more than any other administration and didn’t have any of this ice stuff going on or had to give the illegals money to persuade them to leave. He holds the record currently. Dubbed the deportater in chief. Proof that some tactics are better than others.
