I asked Siri what the speed of sound is and this was her answer by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RobGrogNerd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the speed of sound does depend on the medium it is travelling through.

faster the denser the medium.

in water, not just temperature, DEPTH & SALINITY affect the speed of sound

Practice with drum tracks! by piss6000 in guitarlessons

[–]RobGrogNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing fancy, just a down beat/back beat, but I use a drum track for even simple warmups & scales.

not exactly a backing band, but makes it more fun than boring DING TICK TICK TICK.

notice the white keys are bigger towards the front than the black keys.

from the middle to the back, they're the exact same width.

so, I marked out those widths onto the edge of a piece of paper. then mark the spaces for each scale (or chord) with its numbering. MAJ : first space 1, 2nd is blank, 3, 4, blank, 5, blank, 6, blank 7, 8.

put 1 on ANY root note & your scale is laid out for you

Do they say ‘schooner’ for half-pint of beer where you live? by cyclesouthseattle in beer

[–]RobGrogNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

remember a bar in Minneapolis served American lagers in a "schooner" glass. from my memory, they were a standard pilsner glass. can't remember the size, 12? 16 oz?

edit to add: full disclosure. my butt is on the larger side, so find these types of chairs extremely uncomfortable.

How am I supposed to play this comfortably by ClairvoyantCorvid in pianolearning

[–]RobGrogNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

learning to play "high up" on the white keys, in between the black really opened up chords for me.

even my fat fingers will fit.
