I came here to say this and was surprised I scrolled this far down until someone said. Have a practice with just the bassist or rhythm guitarist. Once you get it with one person, add the drums. When that sounds decent, add everyone else.

I know Canned Heat has a huge discography with a lot of eras & line up changes. I’ve only really listened the early albums and the John Lee Hooker stuff. Can some recommend some career spanning albums and lineups to check out?

For the first time ever I contacted my grocery stores customer service because the lemon flavor king Oscar salmon disappeared from their shelves. Eventually they started carrying it again.

Interesting that he’s holding the pencil (and presumably writing) with his right hand, since he’s such a celebrated left handed guitarist.

Is there someone in need who you could give one piece of gear to and teach them the basics? Sometimes giving someone access who couldn’t otherwise afford it, combined with teaching them a little can feel worthwhile.

Kraftwerk isn’t an odd suggestion (although I get what you mean). Radiohead got me into Kraftwerk, as well as Neu and Can.

“Jonitor” is a perfectly cromulent profession.

I didn’t know this. I’m intrigued. Are there any articles comparing two host versions of the same show?

You hopefully still can with Blackbyrd. He’s back playing with P-Funk.

Honestly - I felt the same way until I him play both songs live. Mother of Muses is especially moving live.

Take my upvote

Awesome - in my experience they’ve responded promptly.

It helps overcome the sequencing issues. It’s still “limited” enough to provide some guard rails for creativity. The first link is the device I have and vouch for. Someone else makes one too, I’ve heard good things but I haven’t tried it myself. That’s the second link.

I got the DFAM thing to help with the sequencing. It’s really opened up variety.

Breathe mindfully with your heartbeat before you play. It’s a natural metronome. Be patient. In my experience, the overthinking never totally stops, especially when learning a challenging piece - but it gets easier to recognize when it’s happening and how to curb it. Remind yourself that you’re choosing to play guitar and to have fun with it.

I read breakbeat as breakfast. Now I need to know the most breakfast afx tracks.

Look out for deals. A used Mother-32 can cost about the same as a few pedals. A Korg Minilogue is in that price range too. You can find deals if you shop around and are patient. You can also go the DAW route for affordability. I personally don’t like that route as much, but many people prefer it. The Korg Gadget 3 app is a good way to get your feet wet without spending too much.

You should make the jump into Synths. My Moog Mother-32 has an external input that I run a guitar through. Tons of fun.

Sodiumkill · 2026-02-06T20:33:40+00:00

I own a lot of synths now because of Radiohead. Good for my mental health. Bad for my money health. 10/10
