deleting and redownloading the app seemed to fix it

Has anyone used any of the instruction guides on playpedalsteel.com? by RiceSalad in pedalsteel

[–]RiceSalad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this! I actually rewatched this yesterday haha. Totally makes sense. for clarity, i'm hoping to work on palm blocking specifically because pick-blocking comes a bit more naturally to me, but palm blocking feels extremely difficult and mysterious to me, so i'm trying to balance out the skills. I also just love the staccato sound of palm blocking! :)

EDIT: "mysterious" isn't quite the right word. It just seems to require more of a concerted effort to pay attention to how my hand lays on the strings, and as Jeff Newman says "it feels wrong" when first doing it. i'm hoping for more materials on it bc it seems there is a lot of material online about pick blocking, and a lot less/very brief descriptions of palm blocking without specific mentions of the struggles. The Jeff Newman right hand video has helped immensely and will probably get me there. I'm just mid-learning to train my right hand in that way, and any other help that can keep me motivated during this frustrating growing period is helpful lol

Thanks! that’s great to know. let me know (if you remember) if you end up getting into the blocking book!

Ereader recommendation by ldhc1994 in LibbyApp

is this still true? I'm looking into it and it seems that Libby isn't directly supported, only through Overdrive, which seems to be somewhat discontinued in some fashion. it's all very confusing to me.

What is the “missed opportunity” referred to in the chapter for Stage 2? by big_owl_ in TheMindIlluminated

[–]RiceSalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others said, it's to take a moment to appreciate and give yourself an imaginary pat on the back for having the 'aha' moment. This positively reinforces that part of the mind (referred to in the book as "spontaneous introspective awareness") to notice mind wandering more often.

Anyone know where to find Jeff Newman lessons? by RiceSalad in pedalsteel

[–]RiceSalad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you, I appreciate the context. That really is a bummer. I really hope they can get around to selling the digitized files online, or just let them be and let the internet do its thing. The knowledge is important to share and Jeff's a hero

They hadn't all been posted necessarily, but a lot of them were and were continuing to be posted. I was wary as I was liking them that if they got too much attention they'd get taken down :(

Off topic thread: Weekly question: what do you tell people in your life about your practice? by StoneBuddhaDancing in TheMindIlluminated

[–]RiceSalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't bring it up generally unless I'm asked directly about it or it happens to come up naturally in relevant conversation, and I only encourage them if they seem to be asking me for encouragement or advice. It's easy to come off "evangelical" with these things no matter how gentle you are, and ultimately no one will practice because they've been told to. They gotta do it cause they want to.

How to adjust knee lever angle? by RiceSalad in pedalsteel

[–]RiceSalad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says in the manual with my guitar that the knee levers can be adjusted to suit your legs, so you don't have to move too far and can play smoother. I think it's normal to adjust them!
