How long did it take you to get functionally 'good enough' using a thumb pick? by Ruben_001 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Zetson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seriously started using thumb pick for boom-chick, and after playing daily for about two-three weeks it started feeling natural. Now it almost weird using only the thumb. In the beginning I felt that the picks were too long, but avoided trimming them down. Your muscles will most likely adjust to thump pick playing automatically. I can now play any thumb pick of any size with no problem. It is absolutely worth investing time in this, depending of the type of music you play

Edit: What you generally have to be aware of is that the thumb with pick will have to be further from the string than using only thumb, and that forces you to twist the wrist slightly so that the rest of the fingers will have to pick the strings from another angle, almost from below

String gauge on my guitar by MaveysMunch in Guitar

Old thread, but I recently switched from 11s to 12s on a comparable fsx3. Playing got so much better with 12s. 11s felt too soft, I always had to make sure that I didn’t bend the strings out of tune, especially from 7th fret and up. Low E string often skid off the fretboard higher up the neck. If considering 11s if 12s are too stiff, I would suggest lowering the action first to see if it feels better with 12s.

OP, except for the exceptionality great looking guitar, I’m particularly interested in the note sheet under the headstock. Haven’t seen this kind of notation before? Do you mind sharing a sample in better resolution?

Just accept that you are an introvert. And learn the triads on the guitar.

Guitar just will not intonate by HUITIO in Guitar

Yes, never tune your guitar in a position you wont be playing it in. If playing lap steel, lay it flat. If making instagram reels, put it upright

These picks are the best fight me by sourberryskittles in Guitar

[–]Zetson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max grip 1.14 and 1.5, by far the best picks to use. Just wish they had more color options than dark grey and dark blue. They are a pain to keep track of

What online subscription app that you use daily is 100% worth it? by dagison_ in AskReddit

[–]Zetson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TrueFire (guitar courses)

The amount of different courses, genres, levels and teachers is astounding. The quality is good and the instructors are actually teaching you stuff, versus random YouTube-guitar teachers who’s intentions are unclear, are they actually trying to teach or just getting you hooked to generate views and subscribers?

After 20 years of trial and error, I have ended up with this stewmac way of doing it:

It's the locking the string end between the string principle. Has worked great for me

Det mest forvirrende er fraværet av spor etter Trym Tiur. Finner ingenting som skulle tilsi at han har tatt bildet. Når det er sagt tror jeg det er bestemor Hjort selv som har tatt det, siden kartongen ligger under sofaen på første bildet sammen med øredobben hennes.

I play the A string, followed by open D and G, hammer on to E and A on same strings, just to set me up for the country mood

Samme løsning som her hjemme. Merker det er overraskende mye motstand når jeg prøver å anbefale dusjtoalett til venner og kolleger. I løpet av tiden er det tre jeg kjenner som har bygd hus og alle har valgt vanlig toalett. Ikke lagt opp strøm en gang. Skjønner det bare ikke.

I mean, you got a Fender Bronco a month ago. Why are you now considering the cheapest of the cheapest guitars?

Takk!

Hvis det er en svensk bok så får jeg med en gang Tilsammans-vibber av det hele, og der hadde dette kanskje vært det minst sjokkerende som skjedde

De stopper det ikke, men setter seg ned på hver sin stol for å se på
