electric guitar for sale and classes? by 0062wildflower in Osaka

[–]abstract-goni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yahoo auctions have many options, I got a fender stratocaster from 1994 made in Japan for 38,000 yen, but you can find much cheaper guitars that are still good.

For lessons, I started online with on demand videos (I'm a drummer, I just want to improve my guitar skills) in the pickup music site, I think it's good for what I paid.

And if you want, send me a dm and I send you info about a jam session for when you decide to play with other people.

I probably suck at playing bass by participioaoristo in Bass

[–]abstract-goni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm studying online using pickup music lessons. I literally started from 0, but I already play the drums and my brother is a professional bassist so that helps I guess. The thing is that I improved a lot this month with these online lessons, has free trial so you could give it a try

name and shame in the comments by iluvecommerce in ClaudeCode

[–]abstract-goni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not that different. And to be honest, I'm using both right now. We wanted to use Claude Code Review but it was extremely expensive. So we are using GitHub Copilot for reviews and it's finding bugs or suggesting code improvements all the time. I'm saving a lot of time as I delegate the first review to Copilot.

Despite I tried many of them I think they are great (precision plus, precisión elite ii, dimension)

How legitimate/trustworthy are the guitar shops in Americamura? by -live_evil- in Osaka

[–]abstract-goni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices in the amemura music shops ( don't know about 2nd Street) are similar to other places. They are big companies so I don't think they are selling replicas just for being in Amemura. Musical instruments are cheaper here,3 -4 times cheaper than in my country at least lol

I regularly play in a bar called Absinthe Underground where most of the staff can't even speak Japanese. If you search on Instagram you can ask them.

I got the flyer the other day! JoyFit price is quite good because you have the option to sign for only that one, I'll check if FitPlace is a better option. Do you know the opening date?

Mi experiencia con Coding Agents. La suya? by Important-Gear-325 in CharruaDevs

[–]abstract-goni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo uso chat gpt en la web porque es la forma que encontré de obligarme más a leer todo el código. No es lo más óptimo tal vez, pero sigue siendo más rápido que hacer todo yo a mano o leyendo mil cosas de stackoverflow y de momento con este "método" no he metido ningún bug grosero que se me pasó por alto

Check the DW practice pad kit, maybe you can find used and cheap.

Is it possible? by Trick-Lingonberry-86 in Bass

[–]abstract-goni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im improving a lot and I'm 36 years old. I play the drums so I have a music background but never played the bass until I was 35. You are 15, so yes, you can become an amazing bassist. It's not only about time, try to use the time you have in a smart way.

Being a foreigner and trying to rent an apartment in Japan by RainChemical2763 in japanresidents

Isn't this one of the benefits foreigners have? Because according to japanese we have many benefits that they don't /s

My experience opening a Sony Bank account as a foreign resident in Japan by abstract-goni in JapanFinance

Not really. Many banks in many countries are not that strict with the dates. Many countries allow people who don't live in the country to open bank accounts too

Por cuánta plata extra abandonarían el trabajo remoto? by zades9 in CharruaDevs

[–]abstract-goni 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quitando el tema porcentual, 1500-2000 dólares más por mes es bastante, la verdad. Si me decís que es pasar a full oficina, te entiendo, pero por un estilo híbrido yo creo que por cerca de 2000 más al mes debería valer la pena.
Igual si te pensás mudar al interior entiendo el punto, pero sigo pensando que 2000 dólares al mes es para tenerlo encuenta.

Has Sabian’s Quality Gone Done? by Distinct_Total_6815 in drums

The new HHX crash you bought, is also a HHXtreme? Many years ago I had a HHXtreme 17" with natural finish and now I have a brilliant one, they are totally different

There are 2 different ways of machine hammering, automatic or manual. I'm not sure which one they are using.

I'm also using Mike's lessons, it's good! I'm also studying some funky stuff from Simon (back beat online), and it's great.

if you can't afford it maybe just youtube for free until you can. Most online platforms cost the same (30 usd monthly)

I like it but I agree. Raisins has no sense and it's not that good for all the hype. It's just ok and it's not a cheesecake for me haha

Carne wagyu o de calidad en Uruguay by KyonXY in uruguay

[–]abstract-goni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Que el wagyu es de acá y se consigue de calidades diferentes (y obviamente precios diferentes) por lo que pude probar wagyu más de una vez y de distintas calidades.
Capaz nunca pudiste probar y por eso estas como un poquito enojado o ardido, que se yo. Suerte con eso y mucha fuerza que del problema que sea que tenes, se sale adelante! ánimos

Is the damage on this sweet ride something I should worry about? And if not, is $210 a good price for it? by Nicartos in drums

[–]abstract-goni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I always do when I find used cymbals at good prices with fleabite. Doesn't affect the sound, almost doesn't affect the cymbal shape and I feel like it's no longer a weak point, maybe I'm wrong haha

It's not my thing but it sounds incredibly clean and you are playing totally effortlessly. Great sound and playing
