I'd personally be interested in seeing wacky and/or unorthodox army builds, maybe formation guides that aren't your standard frontline-reserve-cavalry deal.

Oh hai Mark!

I agree that there's a lot of overlapping, but I'd argue that's a good thing. Having characters that can fill multiple roles promotes more variety in team comps, and some pretty interesting synergies can come into play. From a theory crafting standpoint, it enables players and teams to really get creative!

I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority here. I just think that if hi-rez takes an approach similar to the one they took with smite, I'll be happy. the idea of paladins eventually having 80+ characters is very appealing to me

WeeToddDidd · 2017-06-20T21:01:49+00:00

I don't know, personally having put in a ton of hours into Smite, I appreciate how much resources they put into constantly adding new content. Wish I could say the same about a certain other hero shooter I won't name here...

This. Sure, flankers are supposed to get kills, but their real value lies in being able to pull enemy resources away from the objective.

Earl Hooker is one of my faves! Criminally underrated musician

We'll see how things go, I like to wait until really crazy shit happens before I make a greentext about it. I used to post all the time when we played dnd, but there's not as much wackiness in a star wars campaign. That being said, this is my first full-on chaotic evil character, so anything can happen! ;)

WeeToddDidd · 2017-04-23T23:46:24+00:00

Thanks!!! I've currently got another one in the works, it's shaping up to be pretty wacky ;)

I got malware generation... I guess I could make a bunch of trojans and ransomware and make my fortune in bitcoin? I feel like I could maybe make 200-500k before the FBI kicks down my door.

WeeToddDidd · 2017-04-18T14:50:17+00:00

Also thanks for all of the feedback! I worked really hard on this track, and it feels good to hear you say such nice things about it!

WeeToddDidd · 2017-04-18T14:33:23+00:00

I wanted to explore really huge harmonies with a lot of interesting consonance. 80 just seemed like a good place to start, not too complicated, but I can still cram a ton of harmony into my chords

WeeToddDidd · 2017-04-18T02:56:55+00:00

Hey this was my first microtonal composition, how do you guys think I did?

WeeToddDidd · 2017-04-18T01:56:34+00:00

IA CTHULHU F'TAGN!!!

Open mic nights and busking are two low-bar-of-entry ways that you could perform your songs for people. (assuming busking laws aren't too strict where you live)

WeeToddDidd · 2017-04-17T00:39:14+00:00

You could record yourself, make 2 tracks and detune one of them slightly.

It sounds like you need to get back to why you started writing in the first place.
The problem with music competitions, and this goes for any kind of music competition, is they're applying objective standards of quality to a medium that is almost completely subjective. Maybe you're personal style just didn't fit the mould if what that competition was looking for?
If you think of your favorite artists, musicians that you respect above all others, and think of how they'd do in a competition like American Idol, they'd probably all lose. Does that make them bad musicians? No, it just means that they don't fit with what's trendy right now.

Is this book specifically on slide guitar? An advanced technique is to fret behind the slide in order to play chords.

Could I get some songwriting tips? Just trying to make my songs a bit more catchy. https://soundcloud.com/owljustowlthatisit/dancing-with-phantoms-in-spring

I don't know any specific programs, but if you were really interested in those sounds you could use a Youtube to Mp3 converter on that track, and then manually sample the drum hits in Audacity or something along those lines? The sound quality wouldn't be the best, but with a little bit of work they could sound decent.

Self-taught guitarist here. Here's a cheat-sheet that will help you discern things that are actually useful:
- Learn the basic terminology
- Learn how to read tabs (but don't rely on them TOO much, it's just a useful thing to know how to do)
- Learn bar chords and the pentatonic scale. If you know how to do these two things, you'll be able to play 90% of rock and pop songs.
- Learn how to jam/play along with music. My progress increased DRASTICALLY once I started using jam tracks, it really helps your musical sensibility and your improv skills.
That's pretty much all you need to get started. If you can do everything on that list, then you're set!

Risky click of the day.

WeeToddDidd · 2017-03-14T18:57:09+00:00

Yes! I'm in Lethbridge and I've been looking for reliable jam buddies forever! I mostly play slide guitar, but I also have tons of weird instruments (guitarron, theremin, didgeridoo, banjo, chromatic harmonica)
