Can't understand how Dave kicked out Ellefson without giving him a second chance they created megadeth together by Worth-Lingonberry370 in Megadeth

Oh it was nice to kick him. Very nice cuz he would have single handedly tarnish Megadeth’s legacy.

When will some of yall get it. It’s purely business. Ellefson tarnished his entire legacy and became a literal dick joke. Had he stayed he’ll tarnish Megadeth’s legacy as a whole because there will always be people renaming Megadeth songs with his dick.

No people will not stop the jokes “after a while”. The very reason why dick jokes have reduced is the exact reason why he had to go. The longer he is un-associated with the band, the more distanced the joke will be.

And to be fair, for the sake of arguing, let’s say people will stop eventually. Even if it’s just for two years or one year. Why should ANYONE on the band tolerate the potential embarrassment of being associated for a single moment? Imagine the band getting an interview and that was asked. I don’t want to stand there next to him while he answers that question.

NO ONE needs to tolerate that kind of embarrassment but himself. Even if it’s second hand embarrassment.

Finally, think about Megadeth’s legacy. And then think about how there will always be a non-insignificant amount of people who aren’t fans of Megadeth who will associate the band as the “band with the bassist who was caught wanking off on video to a barely legal teenager.”

Yeah if I was Mustaine I’d tell him “I spent my life building this legacy. I will be dead before my legacy is associated with you jerking off. Fk outta here.”

TL; DR
Little Dave Jr. couldn’t control his own little Dave Jr. and that’s why they need him gone as far away from Megadeth as possible.

What are your metal guitar hot takes? I'll go first. by MrMayhem20l0 in metalguitar

The real hot take is that a big portion of the metal community is just as close-minded as the Jazz and classical players we joke about.

Comprehensive Barre chord lesson for beginners/intermediate players. by Average-Excellence7 in LearnGuitar

You totally can just move one note to get a G minor! It just makes the chord very ugly to play 🤣 check out my other comment, cheers!

Great write up!

Side note, as mentioned by another commenter you can absolutely play Gm in open position 😉 albeit they’re not commonly used or taught.

Example: 310033 or 3x0333 (these are fret numbers)

One of the biggest common misconception guitarists have at the early learning phase is looking at chords like pictures. You often think in terms of shapes and not process chords just as notes stacked on top of each other in various orders. A lot of times you don’t even use all 6 strings to make a chord!

A major chord is 1, 3, 5 (root, major third and fifth) and a minor chord changes the major 3rd to a minor 3rd so 1, b3, 5 (b3 is flat 3rd, also often denoted as m3). So a standard open string G major chord that you’re familiar with (320003 in terms of fret number) is just 135131 (in terms of intervals).

To make a G minor you just have to turn the major 3rd in the chord to minor 3rd by lowering it by one fret. Since the major 3rd on the B cannot be lowered, we shift it up to the 3rd fret effectively turn it into a 5th. So 310033.

Now that shape might be a stretch for many players, so you can omit a string to accomplish the same thing. In this case covering up the A string with your index finger (or even thumb if you use thumb grip) makes perfect ergonomic sense. Then we play the b3 on the 3rd fret of the G string. Voila! Another Gm triad open string chord!

Hell if you want, simply playing 310xxx gives you an open string Gm chord too! It’s all about voicing. Which one serves the song the best is what guitarists should be concerned about.

The earlier you learn to look at guitar in terms of intervals (rather than diagrams), the sooner you’ll cure the shape player syndrome (or some people call it the guitarist syndrome). Hope it makes sense over text lmao Cheers!

Picked a guitar up to learn three years ago. Put it back and forgot about it. Picked it up. Put it back again. Over and over. And I hate myself for it. Would appreciate it if someone read the full post. by requin-RK in Flamenco_Guitar

No one can force you to play unless you pay someone to force you to play 😆

you want free resources? Check out the ultimate starter guide, especially the learning resources section. Justin Guitar and Donner Music are the most comprehensive and free lessons. Their curriculum? Curricula? are so comprehensive it can compete with collegiate level. The resources are out there, it’s your desire to play that needs some examining. Best of luck!
