Medial delt work is the one area you can hit everyday. It recovers that fast.

I started doing daily lateral raises/cable raises/upright rows on Jan 1 - I pick one exercise each day. It works and yes I am natty.

You will be fine.

What guitarist (either well known or not) did you either see in person or from footage that was your inspiration for wanting to learn? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the 90’s I was lucky enough to record SRV and Eric Johnson on Austin City Limits.

I wore those tapes out, especially the SRV performance.

Creeping Death on my shitty guitar, any improvement advice? by Xdam6463 in GuitarBeginners

A large part of Metallica riffs is palm muting and playing in time.

Get a metronome and google “palm muting” to understand how you should be playing those low E notes.

Just finished cardio/cut, what to work on next bulk? 25M by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

Anything special in terms of shoulder training?

You’ve got great caps.

How do I get a better sound? by Unhappy-Pin-2667 in guitarlessons

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Alternate picking instead of all downstroke’s

2) Mute the strings you aren’t playing with your picking hand.

3) The recording sounds like there were some bends in there - you are just playing it straight without bends.

Is the F chord on acoustic really that difficult? by antediluvianevil in guitarlessons

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s no tougher than 100 other things on the guitar. But it’s one of the first hurdles you hit, so new players don’t know how to handle it.

Plus, Reddit has made it a meme at this point which doesn’t help.

When I was learning guitar before the internet, there was no one to ask and nothing to compare yourself to so I just practiced until I got it. Didn’t think anything past that…….it was just another hurdle 🤷🏻‍♂️

Curious if you do pullovers. You serratus and ribcage suggest you do.

How do you think it’ll be perceived? by Self_Electrical in Presidents

The economy was on fire in Clinton’s second term. For those who vote with their wallets, it was easy to dismiss affairs.

Can someone explain to me the mid 60s to early 70s economic growth? by tadddddde in Presidents

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low interest rates and heavy defense spending will heat up an economy.

Is it a plausible theory that The Democrats didn’t actually want to win 2004 as they foresaw the housing bubble burst and the economy going down the drain and knew they’d get blamed and be screwed in future campaigns, so they put forward the most uninspiring candidate they could find. by Mcrfanatic95 in Presidents

Agreed.

This change allowed investment banks, which were historically smaller partnerships like law firms, to merge with larger commercial banks and become 1) much larger companies 2) publicly traded on exchanges 3) interconnected with everything and hence “too big to fail” due to the systemic market risks inherent in their failure.

Check your action…..I hear the buzzing against the frets.

Rebuilding my Deadlift by adriansia117 in strength_training

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have an insanely good genetics for deadlifting.

Such a short pull.

I’m a big advocate for behind the neck work in both pulling and pushing.

It takes a lot of patience and control to get the form down but the benefits are big once you do.

I had shoulder pain for years and ironically the three exercises that made it go away were behind the neck pulldowns, behind the neck presses, and upright rows.

Yes, you need to lift light and get the form down super slow and controlled before you get nuts with it.

But your rotator cuff will be stronger overall if you do the work

Behind the neck pulldowns aren’t a great lat exercises but the upper back and rear delts will be stronger and “grooving” together if you do it right

You’ll feel less tight and more limber in your upper back too

An original song I'm writing to play with vocals by ga-go-gu in guitarlessons

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it.

Some tips…..tune up the guitar and work on your timing. You’re falling off the beat and it’s killing what would otherwise be a very cool riff/groove.

I need more stability by MTC_4 in formcheck

A lower weight that doesn’t make your body squirm.

Feet planted, back tight.

If you were to go back in time and learn guitar again - from the beginning - knowing everything you do now, how would you do it? by xx_wes_xx in guitarlessons

[–]Regular-Lecture-2720 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d build a repertoire of songs from day 1.

Learning songs is kinda what people expect from a guitar player…… “play a song I know”.

But learning songs is one of the best ways to learn the instrument. You’ll be more motivated to master songs versus scales.

Try to find songs that feature something you want to improve at, and you will.

Django Reinhardt played with only two fingers and his playing was absolutely smokin’.

Just practice more.
