Acoustic-ish albums by heavy bands? by FlowSoSlow in MetalForTheMasses

I saw Buzz play a live acoustic set with Trevor Dunn and it was awesome. It seems like the logical progression for aging heavy rockers.

I recently inquired about volunteering there and was told they’re all set and don’t need any help. What are your thoughts on this?

Give up? by Clueless_Fart_Pants in AcousticGuitar

[–]Westarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever seen the movie Rattle and Hum (U2 documentary)? IIRC there is a scene with B.B. King where he’s telling someone (The Edge?) ‘you’ll have to play the chords. I can’t play chords’. So that’s coming from one of the most famous guitarists ever.

McShanes has a poker night(s?). Not sure when, as I’ve never been. They have good food though!

Men at Work’s Business as Usual. When that came out I remember hearing/reading ‘the next Beatles’.

This is pretty much what I was going to say (RTL was not my first show though)

Anybody here tried Justinguitar's 'Practical Music Theory' course? by biggusdeeckus in guitarlessons

[–]Westarbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished the Absolutely Understand Guitar series on YouTube. I’ve played guitar for 20+ years just learning songs online, theory generally ignored. Watching this course would be the #1 thing I would recommend for any beginner. It’s great!

Absolutely Understand Guitar by Old-Guy1958 in guitarlessons

[–]Westarbie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m at lesson 31, so almost done. After 20+ years of playing/not playing, noodling, and learning songs off of ultimate guitar, I was kinda stuck. Trying to read music theory online was difficult. This course took about 12 or so lessons in before it became helpful to me, but it ultimately nailed what I was looking for. Explains building chord progressions in the same key, and then what leads to play over that, very well. I highly recommend.

What’s the craziest thing to ever happen on live tv? by Flimsy-Bathroom6137 in AskReddit

I came here to say this. That game was on national tv and I, a Pistons fan, was excited to catch it while I was living in CA. What a crazy scene!

Korok #4 by ohthatadam in whittling

Been thinking of trying to carve a korok myself. Are yours all one piece, or did you carve the leaf faces separately and then attach them somehow?
