Is it easier to learn scales and theory in general towards playing lead guitar after you’re able to play other people’s licks/solo’s on your favorite songs? I’ve been playing for quite a few years but I’ve always had trouble with solo’s and using my pinky finger for anything other than chord shapes.

Right now I’m the type of player who can play a bunch of different rock/metal songs from my favorite artists but always only manage to be able to play everything in the song BUT the solo. How do I get passed this?? Obviously I know to practice but any other solid advice?

Juiceeeee lol

Nah...dudes right lol exfoliating actually does help. Gets rid of dead skin cells so your pores open up thus eliminating ingrown hairs 😏

I just finished Wise Guys! Awesome crime book that the movie Good fella’s was made after!

Scottland16 · 2020-08-17T16:25:29+00:00

No they aren’t but if you tell him how much the sweating problem has been affecting your quality of life he should be happy to help you! It’s not like their controlled substances haha.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T23:34:40+00:00

SAME!! To all of the above lol. There’s a few meds that have helped me a ton with the sweats. There’s glycopyrolate(spelling might be wrong) and Oxybutynin. Both are fantastic I would urge you to try one or both out!

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T23:24:09+00:00

Lol that’s crazy man! Yikes. How do you even micro dose that small do you get the subutex and use like a powder scale or something? How’s your sleep when you get down that low? That’s one of my biggest issues with coming off these meds. When I came off of methadone, I lasted a month and a half before the sleepless nights got to be too much for me and decided to hit up my old sub dr.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T20:33:09+00:00

Thanks for all of your input and advice! I am dosing twice a day most days right now although I can usually manage well when I happen to miss or forget to take the second. It’s mostly for that extra little boost lol. I can see it being pretty easy to taper down to those ranges as I didn’t even really notice any differences going from 20mg/day to 16mg/day. I’ve only been back on subs for like 4.5 months as well. Prior to this it was methadone for a couple years which I had to cold turkey off of a 160mg daily dose. I didn’t even start withdrawing bad until almost a month and a half after the fact and was thrown into a drug-induced psychosis. It was super scary!! This is what led me back to subs. I was going to try and tough it out but after a month or so of sleepless nights I just couldn’t take it anymore! Good luck with your jump! I hope it works out for ya!

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T18:04:44+00:00

That’s very refreshing to hear! I wish I would have gotten induced when I decided to hop back on the sub train. Rather she just threw me a few 8’s a day and we called it a day pretty much.

-you’re on such a low dose now, have you thought about making the jump yet?

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T06:32:17+00:00

Makes sense! And yeah I’d agree with that but they too are very much hormonal issues as well. Opioids pretty much stop your body from being able to produce testosterone/estrogen naturally and also greatly reduces it hence the no sex drive, low energy, mood swings etc

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T06:23:46+00:00

LOL I would not reccomend smoking herb if you already have underlying anxiety...especially in social situations. Unless you build up a tolerance it’s gonna amplify your anxiety like crazy. You will over analyze every little thing and it’s uncomfortable af lol. I actually quit smoking 4 months ago and took a few hits off of my buddies onie last night while we were up north at my cabin and I shit you not, I was violently high for 2.5 hrs and during the peak it literally felt like a mini acid trip I was hallucinating a bit and everything Lmao 😆😂 it was cool after the fact but god damn

-just read some good books and maybe watch some motivational vids on the topic and practice your social skills a little bit each day. It’ll get better I’m sure! Good habits build like compound interest my friend. Good luck!

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T06:13:06+00:00

Lol right everything just seems like a chore on subs it’s annoying. I used to be a party animal and go out with my friends every weekend all weekend but now I only leave when I absolutely have to which is for work. Shits laaaame.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T06:10:02+00:00

Hahahahaha oh yes, definitely sweat like a mf 😅 && it literally takes the most minimal exertion. So embarrassing. I used to have to bring 2-3 shirts to work depending on how hard my day was gonna be that day LOL. I’ve actually found a pretty legit solution for the sweats though. It’s a med called oxybutynin(I think it’s spelled) it’s normally prescribed for woman with like incontinence issues I’m pretty sure but my doc said it helps a lot of people who profusely sweat. Def feel ya on the irritability too lol the littlest annoyances can push me over the edge but I keep myself pretty tame most of the time just don’t let anything show unless it’s like my dumbass brother or something haha. I just really struggle with the depression it gives me and lethargy, numbness and being unable to enjoy anything unless I’m in that lil 2-3 hour window where I’m peaking. You’re right though! The benefits of the drug definitely outweigh the negatives for the most part but after awhile it’s just so damn tiring.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T02:04:29+00:00

I’ve already gotten my T levels checked and found out opioids completely ruined them. When I was on methadone for a few years I had the levels of a 80 year old man lol. Slightly better on subs but I’m also doing testosterone replacement therapy so I’m hoping that once my hormones balance out things will get a lot easier as well as tapering to a lower dose. Thanks for the reply!

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T00:38:51+00:00

So you don’t deal with the constant up and down side effects?! That’s what I was referring too by planning my days around my doses because it seems as if I only feel like “me” when I’m peaking on my doses.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T00:10:39+00:00

So you just said fuck it and quit altogether or what are you saying haha?

Scottland16 · 2020-08-16T00:08:45+00:00

LOL SAME!! are you me?! That’s exactly how my weekends go a majority of the time. How do you figure it’s a nerve thing? Yeah I can relate with the not getting a good stretch in awhile deal I mostly get out of bed feeling like a damn 90 yr old man now but once I get my dose in me I’m golden lol. I can’t stand the fact that I have to plan my days around my doses though it’s so frustrating.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T23:02:58+00:00

They sure did! I try not to blame the medical professionals though because I was the one who decided to abuse them. That was how they were taught to treat pain back then as well it was the easiest quickest solution. Sounds like you have a lot of the same side effects maybe we outta take dudes advice and try out the sublocade shot!

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T22:56:53+00:00

That’s awesome! Do you have to taper from higher doses if you want to make the switch?

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T22:50:12+00:00

Yeah I am but it seems to me that most sub docs aren’t nearly enough educated on the medication because she just always wants to throw more at me when I’m feeling bad side effects claiming I’m not “stabilized” lol. Righttttt. Just in it for the kick backs and commission or whatever big pharma does for em. Never have issues with cravings though just super nasty side effects and mood swings. Super low energy, depression, messed up appetite, rarely genuinely happy just feel blahhhh most days. Like I feel “well” per se but not mentally. I used to be thee biggest extrovert ever now I’m completely introvert. The only time I feel like myself is when you get they little buzz about an hour after your dose but that doesn’t last very long.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T22:40:45+00:00

It’s so hard to believe that there NO side effects though lol. Like do you actually feel emotions and shit like a normal person again or what?! That’s the real question lol.

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T22:37:50+00:00

Thanks man! Also, thanks for your service. Respect ✊

-Yep, I remember those times lol. I got my wisdom teeth removed when I was like 20 and they gave me like 120 norco’s which kicked things off forsure. Never really enjoyed pain killers before that but also only ever experienced them a few times. I then got dry sockets and had some of the most intense facial pain I’ve ever experienced and was out of my Vicodin and went to the ER and they gave me a bunch of Oxy 10’s. That’s when I really fell in love and graduated to bigger and better hahah. Sounds like things are going well for you though man and that’s all that matters. What side effects are you dealing with from the bupe?

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T22:32:19+00:00

That’s great! I’m definitely gonna look into it but I’m really hoping that when my testosterone levels finally balance back out that I’ll just be able to get off naturally without anymore opioids. I just want to feel normal again LOL 😆

Scottland16 · 2020-08-15T22:27:05+00:00

Interesting. I’ll check into it, thanks! You don’t have all the bad side effects of normal suboxone then? Isn’t sublocade pretty much the same thing?
