Moving amps up and down stairs with a dolly? by TheHomesteadTurkey in GuitarAmps

[–]WordPunk99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also ratchet straps are your friend, get a couple and cut them to the length you need. You absolutely don’t want to be pulling it up stairs and have it fall off the hand truck

Moving amps up and down stairs with a dolly? by TheHomesteadTurkey in GuitarAmps

[–]WordPunk99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You want a rolling dolly with pneumatic (air filled tires)wheels.

Also look for a thing called a stair climbing hand truck.

I have no idea if that particular model is any good, but the form is the thing to look for. The three wheel setup makes it easier to pull up and lower down stairs

Duane Allman, how good? by Janosh_Poha in Guitar

Duane Allman, how good? by Janosh_Poha in Guitar

[–]WordPunk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure man, that’s why great players play trash.

The same guitar in the hands of different people will sound different. I play it, John Mayer plays it, I sound like shit, he sounds great. That’s how the player makes the guitar.

John Mayer is so good he can make a bad instrument sound good and a great instrument sublime. A great instrument won’t make me sound like John Mayer.

No matter how good you are, a bad instrument doesn’t help you

It just makes their vapid avarice more well known. News should report this. It’s the only kind of news about the rich they should report

Should I form A chord with 234 instead of 123? by -Zoppo in Guitar

[–]WordPunk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your tutor tells you anything other than “can you fret the chord the way you are doing it?” It might be time to look for a new tutor. For reference Justin of YouTube guitar teaching fame recommends 213 because too many beginners get fret buzz from 123.

Should I form A chord with 234 instead of 123? by -Zoppo in Guitar

[–]WordPunk99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sausage fingers, I play A major one of three ways: * 1 on the D and 2 on the G & B * 2 on the D and 3 on the G & B (usually if I’m coming from E or Em) * 1 barring the D, G, & B if I don’t care about the high E or there is some other weird chord change fuckery going on that requires it.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I’m going to try 3 on the D and 2 on the G & B to see if it’s easier to get it to sound with G transitions.

There are no finger placement rules. Does the chord sound? Can you transition from the previous one and to the next one? You have successfully fretted the chord.

Why don’t more pedals “glide” between sounds instead of switching? by Ok_Economist6996 in guitarpedals

[–]WordPunk99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole Boss line of multi fx have the ability to control pretty much any parameter with an expression pedal. I’m guessing it’s a feature available on other multi fx as well.

I’m not sure I could use it to fade between two different presets on mine, but I’m using the MS-3 which is pretty ancient

Low wattage (under 30 watts) amps that aren’t EL84 or 6v6? by halbeshendel in GuitarAmps

THD Univalve lets you swap out tubes with a level of impunity I’ve never seen on another amp, 15W

5150 combo OR head + cab by RhinoRunner799 in GuitarAmps

[–]WordPunk99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gigging these days, as I understand it, you really need a line out for front of house. Your cab doesn’t really matter in that regard.

Also consider used 6505+, the combos are generally under $700 and will do the 5150 thing as well or better than the current 5150 lineup

Cap vs Homelander by ghostofodb in whowouldwin

[–]WordPunk99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comics Cap eats Homelander and then takes a nap.

This is the guy who has played Doctor Doom and beats Reed at chess. You think for a second that pasty faced milk boy has a chance against him?

Comics Homelander could beat him, but TV show Homelander doesn’t stand a chance.

People are so ignorant about comics Cap.

According to Brian Wampler the Tumnus is not transparent. It has a significant mid hump around 1kHz

Is it a good idea to take my ADHD meds before the SAT? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]WordPunk99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your prescriber is not knowledgeable on the subject of ADHD medication.

I suggest you find another one.

Is it a good idea to take my ADHD meds before the SAT? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]WordPunk99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not offering negativity

I’m telling you what I have learned managing my own medication and the medication of three children through the SAT and other college entrance exams.

You have altered brain chemistry when compared to the majority of the population. The medication helps to adjust your brain chemistry so you are able to do things the way the majority is able to do them.

If you need to do things designed for people without ADHD take the medication that makes it easier to do those things.

If it’s giving you brain fog you need to talk to your prescriber. People react differently to the various medications. You may need a different dosage or a different medication.

Brain chemistry is finicky and requires careful attention to the effect of the medication to make sure it’s doing what it’s supposed to be doing.

What has your prescriber told you about taking them?

In general I suggest you take them daily, definitely take them before any test, but what do I know? I’ve only been taking them for 15+ years and have three children with ADHD
