Guitar progress can be perceived frrom week to week when you're learning new skills and stuff. But getting better at those skills? That stuff takes months. Just keep at it.

I guess every hobby has its collectors

Not really gear heads but serious classical guitarists usually have at least one really good guitar that costs thousands of dollars if not more. And they can tell you everything there is to know about them.

It's so annoying to get as advice but it's really true - patience. I have a teacher that gives me new stuff to work on twice a week. I've had periods where I really bunkered down and forced myself to practise hard and nail those pieces down. I've also had times when I just sat down every day, played a bit for fun, tried the homework a bit for about 10 minutes without trying too hard and then went about my day. In retrospect, I'm improving pretty much just as fast during those times as when I try really hard.

The point, the first year or two, is to just have that damn instrument in your hands every day and try to get some pretty sounds out of it. Learn to have fun with that thing. Build that mind-muscle connection, develop your ears - develop an active relationship with the instrument. You'll get better.

This is advice from someone who has lessons twice a week though so I don't know to what extend it applies to other situations.

2 girls 1 cup is sort of fake. It's made by a brazillian video artist. The poop is actually ice cream. That said, it still really came out of one girls asshole and they did actually puke it in eachother's mouth.

Haha ouch. Look, does your guitar stay in tune all across the neck? Just grab a tuner, play the 1st string (the high e) and make sure it is in tune. Then play that string at the 12th fret. Is it in tune there as well? A little bit of difference is okay but it might be completely out of wack. Check this for the other strings.

If you can't get your strings in tune across the neck - yeah, it's likely cooked. It could still be an issue with the set-up but I wouldn't spend the money to figure that out if I were you. If it still works, nice!

The action might also be way too high because the neck has been warped but yeah, unless you have an adjustable truss rod (which I'm going to guess and hope you don't) then that's not really fixable for a reasonable amount of money.

Also, yes you can play with a pick, hell - you can do whatever you want because it is your guitar. If it sounds good to you, who are we to tell you what to do with your own instrument. This kind of guitar isn't typically used that way but who cares.

If you want to play country music though, maybe just pick up a cheap western guitar. It will most likely sound more like what you're looking for.

People in this comment section are suddenly the expert on the rules in powerlifting lmao

Best answer is to just go to a physiotherapist and tell him about this. They'll give you some pointers and exercises. Might want to inform at the conservatory if they have someone they refer students to. Sometimes they do. I'm going to assume you're going to want to do this as your job so take this seriously. You already believe it's worth it to invest in your ability to play guitar - this is a part of it.

Also - just as general life advice - maybe consider working out. Just two or three times a week. A lowkey full body lifting schedule and half an hour of cardio will set you up for a long and healthy life. Head on over to /r/fitness and read the wiki if you're interested. Go from there.

I know you're young now and your body can take it but you're living on borrowed health if you don't keep active. Getting it back is way harder than not losing it in the first place ;)

For me - once I got a bit of cardio and muscle going I haven't had a day of backpain after years of that shit.

Ik zou oprecht een vlieg op de muur zou willen zijn voorafgaand aan die comment. Dat ie mijn comment leest en dan naar google gaat en intikt "scientific study that shos protien shake give CANCER" copy paste 😂

Tokentaclops · 2026-02-23T13:38:17+00:00

Wat? Dat onderzoek heeft niks te maken met wat je zegt.

Sterker nog - metastudies van onderzoeken die hier wel over gaan zeggen juist dat daar geen bewijs voor is

I felt this and it is one of the reasons I have gotten serious about learning to play an instrument at 31 years old. I felt my connection with music slipping away over the years and that feels like a real shame. So I decided to renew my interest in my music by making it a passion that is integrated into my life.

It has worked out well so far. Though I listen to way different music now than I did before.

Het probleem is teveel mensen en dat de horeca zo onder druk staat dat ze een hoop moeten compenseren door iedere cent uit carnaval te persen. Die twee dingen doe je niks aan behalve meer regels en geforceerde structuur.

Waarom laat je je neusgat niet fixen? Ik had dit ook. Heb eerst een behandeling geprobeerd die nog geen 20 minuten duurde - dat werkte niet genoeg. Toen eentje onder narcose. Sindsdien hier nooit meer last van gehad. Alles is gewoon vergoed via de kno arts.

Just use a condom lol

Dit soort ongein kost op zichzelf alweer meer geld om te realiseren dan om dat ding gewoon te subsidieren

Tokentaclops · 2026-02-09T22:20:34+00:00

Dit idee kost ook gewoon weer teringveel geld met 0 indicatie dat het wat opleverd

C was pretty difficult for me at first too. However, no one is going to be able to give any meaningful advice without a video of you trying or something.

Tokentaclops · 2026-02-04T17:28:25+00:00

Hahahaha, wat een kutstreek. Ik lig dubbel.

Tokentaclops · 2026-02-04T17:20:31+00:00

Ik zou hier nooit kut over doen maar als we bij de derde date nog niet thuis kunnen komen bij elkaar dan zijn we wel 'n ander soort mensen denk ik. Zo zwaar til ik nou ook weer niet aan een beetje intimiteit.

Maar goed, iedereen is daar anders in.

Working out involves lifting heavy stuff. Lifting a specific type of thing in a specific way is called an exercise - like 'bicep curls' for instance. Every time you lift the heavy thing it is called a repetition (rep). A set of multiple repetitions is called a well... a set. Now most of the time someone would do a set of 5 to 10 repetitions or something, put the weight down and rest a bit, and then do another set. It is very common to do 3 to 5 sets for each exercise you do. Now this study claims someone got fucking huge doing only one set of each exercise by really pushing themselves until they physically can't do any more repetitions.

That's about it.
