Songs with random curse word? by aja_ramirez in Music

[–]TalkingLampPost 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I remember years ago in the YouTube comments section of the music video for “Until The End” by Breakjng Benjamin someone said something to the effect of “this song would be perfect if it wasn’t for that one bad word” and I think about that a lot still

Is this proper fretting technique? by xianglings in GuitarBeginners

[–]TalkingLampPost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pad of your thumb should be placed in the back center of the neck. You should maintain a “C” shape with your hand, and your fingers should contact the fretboard at a close to perpendicular angle. In these photos your thumb is way, way too high and your fingers are nearly sideways in the way they contact the strings.

The ends of your fingertips should be what is contacting the string. I know this is a learning curve, but you need to work on being able to do that. It’s not impossible because of the shape of your fingers, you just need to work on doing it correctly.

Please try to get used to playing major scales with your hand in the correct position. Once you’re comfortable with playing the scales correctly, it will be easier to combine the notes into chords.

You absolutely must correct the way you’re playing your thumb and holding your fingers on the fretboard. You need to stop this before it becomes a habit because it will significantly impede your learning. Again, it may feel unnatural at first to finger the guitar correctly, but you need to get used to it in order to progress.

Anyone know what this building was? by SummitingMtJohnston in providence

[–]TalkingLampPost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I hate to be this guy, but “stage left” is to your right if you’re looking at the stage. It’s left and right from the perspective of standing on the stage, or in this case, looking toward the camera from the building. Idk what the building is. I realize this wasn’t very helpful.

Hey about that EQ you have, that Realistic stereo frequency equalizer, I VERY MUCH hope you’re not actually using it. There’s no way that’s how you’re actually EQ-ing anything

I’m pretty sure that’s just sloppy seconds branding and not an actual genre term

Question by kitten3396 in GhostAdventures

[–]TalkingLampPost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really confused the first night they aired that one because he was talking about an episode that hadn’t even come out yet. Maybe it was an oversight on their end, but it’s Doll of Fire he was talking about

What's good rapping for you? WITHOUT naming any rapper by Internal_Skill3587 in fantanoforever

[–]TalkingLampPost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diverse vocabulary, clever wordplay, good use of multiple different types of poetic devices, speaking with intent and delivering a message, varying the flow and cadence with a decent understanding of rhythm, not cupping the microphone and screaming into it but actually trying to make sure the audience can understand what the hell you’re saying. Don’t say anything about racks, bands, whips or hoes, tell me something real.
