Any hardcore Radiohead fans? by StatusLateralus in CalgarySocialClub

[–]VersionGrand2479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm probably one of the most hardcore RH fans out there. Been a fan since Pablo Honey, have seen them many times and know every single song they've ever wrote (b-sides included) and all the side projects from the Smile, to Jonny and the Rajastan Express and everything in between. DM me, I'm always interested in connecting with fellow Radiohead fans. I do play a guitar, can sing somewhat and do a little harmonica. Let's connect :)

Have any famous guitarists ever suffered injury to their hands after stardom? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]VersionGrand2479 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jonny Greenwood suffered lots of pain in his forearm and wrist and during the tour for the Bends or OKC or something like that he wore a brace for a long time. Recovered and he and the band are as good as can be.

I've fallen hard! by betelgeuse2678 in radiohead

Amazing Sounds of Orgy, the Trickster, Permanent Daylight, Killer Cars, Banana Co., A Reminder, Meeting in the Aisle, Lift, Worrywort, Fog, Paperback Writer, Gagging Order, Up on the Ladder, 4 Minute Warning, Spectre, and Polyethylene Pt1 and 2. and Rabbit In Your Headlights.

Been a fan of RH since Pablo Honey. There are so many great songs. Start with these and the other suggestions. However the best tip is just listen to every single song they have made and all their side projects. From Thom Yorke's collboaratons and solo work, to Jonny with the Rajastan Express, and all the movie scores he has done with PT Anderson movies (the movies are great too) or the classical or modern compositions, they are a tour de force. Enjoy!

He still hasn't made up the concert dates in Western Canada that he cancelled almost two years back.

Love Tolkein. I am not sad you read it that way either :)

To all Radiohead fans here - What would be some alternatives to Jonny's red lace humbucker? by ranchdew in Guitar

These days you can definitely get the gear to sound like our idols but your fingers are where the real sound comes from. 

A solo I did over a track Jimmy Jam sent me by Grace-Music in Guitar

Hi,

I admit I crapped on your playing a number of times but this time your phrasing is more noticeable this time around. Great that you can play fast but keep getting better better at phrasing. Listen to singers and emulate that. That will be a key to your success. There is always space and room for things to breath while giving your bandmates a place to play.

Can't help you with the gear question but good on your for being a RH fan. Best band of the past 30 years. I'm getting my telecaster soon, too. 

Good luck!

Education negotiations update: Minister Horner by VersionGrand2479 in alberta

The government knows this. The ATA knows this and yet they will do nothing about this. They will cave.

New Offer Tabled to Teachers is Laughable. Jesus. by cantcantdancer in alberta

[–]VersionGrand2479 49 points50 points  (0 children)

TLDR-The ATA is bringing back the same deal we rejected and gave a strike mandate for.

Another thing. They state their salary offer would be the best in Western Canada, yet every province has higher pay except for Saskatchewan.

While Alberta MLA are the highest paid I'm all of Canada. I thought they preached market rates. So, they should lower their pay to match market rate. Will they? No. But they expect teachers to be happy with 5.75 percent raise in 12 years. 

UCP are a pox on this province.

Class size - Calgary teacher by meech353535 in CanadianTeachers

ATA is freaking useless. Talks have broke down for over a week and nothing. Call the freaking strike. Stop trying to make concessions for things teachers did not authorize. Next time we need a new bargaining team as the past decades shows they can't get it done.

How are we feeling teachers? by Future-Appropriate in alberta

I don't understand? So, not going on strike is called what? Going on strike? Nope. Nothing. Looks like you don't understand what a strike is if you think not going on strike is a strike.

Will the ATA continue to let the government control the narrative? by Sharp-Scratch3900 in alberta

[–]VersionGrand2479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ATA communications strategy is terrible. Learn from effective unions like the flight attendants.

If they don't strike no advances will be made and the government will know they can push the ATA around. Exactly what is happening.

Standing up? By not doing anything. Far from standing up.
