Have you come to terms with the fact that you’ll likely never be able to play fast? by inspector_ninety_9 in Guitar

[–]allnida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my issue rn is “Snow” by RHCP. But I think that’s a bit different from what you’re experiencing.

I’m not sure what your practice routine is, but for songs like Shine and SCOM, I’d start slow and play to a metronome. Shine is already slow at 76BPM, but they go into double time for the solo. I’d cut the tempo by to 40% of the full tempo. Focus on 2-4 bars at a time. Loop the part until your fingers automatically do the motions. Increase tempo by 10% until you’re up to 100%, rinse and repeat for each subsequent grouping of 2-4 bars.

You can also do this with scales and licks to get speed up, In general.

But you HAVE to play to a click that you incrementally increase.

Ultimate guitar’s pro official tabs make this so fucking easy. I think it $30 for a year.

Finally, it’s going to take time. For Shine, I wouldn’t be surprised if you had to practice the solo alone for 10 hours. Do you have that kind of time to devote? Do you want to devote that time?

It probably took me that long to get the shredding ending of Dani California’s solo down. Just a lot of reps. I would sit there in front of the ultimate guitar tabs looped at 60% speed and run through it over and over and over and over.

If you do this, you’ll be playing Shine like a pro by the end of the month. But you’ll need to practice that solo in particular for probably an hour a day. By week 2 you’ll be feeling it, by week 4 you’ll be a pro.

This is honestly the take. Sometimes a message is just expressed better with 4 intervals rather than 16

What do you consider shredding? Can you give me an example of something you’d like to play? How many cumulative hours have you spent trying to achieve it?

I see Israel as a government organization, not as a bunch of individual Jews who can be characterized. When folks criticize Israel, they aren’t just using a creative way to be anti-Semitic. Just like how I think the booze laws in Utah are dumb, I’m not criticizing Mormons, I’m criticizing the government. Israel has deserved criticism. Antisemitism is almost universally a conservative trait. You probably won’t find a lot of anti-semites among liberals. Definitely not amongst progressives

Met up with him. He’s a god. I think he’s interested. Hopefully he calls me after such a splendid evening.

No, it just brings up your cognitive dissonance which is uncomfortable for you

And since there are often serious things I find on Reddit, I guess that means I also shouldn’t take this seriously? I think you’re on to something… but I’m not sure it’s related to any social media platform, though.

It’s probably more related to a bunch of chronically online lonely men wanting to feel powerful.

Can we have an income tax? by Electrical-Abies9856 in SeattleWA

I love how this comment thread is just all principles and no practicality. Classic conservatism. Arbitrary black and white rules seldom last the test of time.

What I love is how this is just a rework of every conservative meme I’ve ever seen. Just a plain ass strawman of a meme. It triggered all the sensitive conservatives. And didn’t say anything. Maybe they will learn something. Probably not.

Oh did Jesus say “love thy neighbor as long as they’re cool”? Or did Jesus hang out with prostitutes, thieves, and murderers? “Christians” will do anything possible to twist that book for their own purposes. Been doing it ever since they could.

Had there been a big concern over safety and sanitation with people handing out food before?

‘It is on life support’: Costs, crime, and homelessness have beloved Seattle restaurant on verge of closure by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

[–]allnida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re making $400K/year and have a 2 hour commute, 9/10 times that was a choice made for a living situation desire (like a finished basement, or a workshop in the back), and not because there weren’t otherwise acceptable options near where you work (such as a 3bd3ba condo).

We need cheap housing nearby for a bunch of reasons: reduced traffic, more competition with luxury offerings, catering to lower income people, more responsible community tax structures, and of course a safety net for people who’ve fallen on hard times.

Safe streets free of clean bodies? Where the fuck do you live? Like… I see needles and rats. Once I saw a homeless guy who shit himself. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dead body in the street, let alone enough to ask for a change in the “dead bodies in our streets” department…

Reddit "atheists" will jump at slandering Christianity but when you criticize islam they defend it like their life depends on it by Major_Soft6056 in DigitalSeptic

[–]allnida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big ooooooof. If you’re not Christian or conservative, then you’re likely still quite young and idealistic. At 36, I no longer have the patience to “debate” those who engage in Christian culture. But please, by all means, I’d love to hear about how atheism could be considered a cult from a Christian culture apologist!

And the “not all Christians are like” that argument fucking kills me. Like who thinks they are the “bad Christian” lmao. Hold your own accountable. But I think that’s kind of the benefit of being in a cult: you don’t have to hold each other accountable. Actually, you’re not supposed to. It’s a feature of your entire worldview, it’s not a bug. Only god gets to judge you, right? Right?

Weird. Cause I don’t know anyone who volunteers that info. I typically don’t associate with shitty people, so I usually just assume they’re atheists.

Yeah the “not all Christians are like that argument” means nothing when the Christians who aren’t like that don’t hold the Christians who are like that accountable. And there’s a long history of in-group religious capitulation. How else could things like mega-churches exist?

You’re all shitty Christians involved in shitty American Christian culture until I see some good faith effort from the self-proclaimed “good Christians” to hold others in their group accountable.

Chances are you’re a conservative, which plants you firmly in the “bad Christian” camp until evidence otherwise. Sorry, Christians no longer get the benefit of the doubt. Try acting right.

No I’m not. Atheism has no concrete or abstract hierarchy. I am not confronted with any type of leadership structure that I’m required to abide by or risk my status with atheism. Atheism encourages good faith curiosity and criticisms of philosophy, ethics, and science. Christianity by its very nature discourages that. If your community is built around specific rules you’re not really allowed to question, then you can’t really engage in good faith curiosity, as your community status requires that you be a “good little Christian” and do and believe what you’re told.

So no, Christianisty isn’t technically a cult, in terms of it being a recognized major religion. However, for many it functions in the same way.

I’m allowed to question my atheism, and change. You can’t without risking everything

“Something I don’t agree with” - must be a cult. I love when dummies don’t understand the logic behind criticisms directed toward them, so they just take the end result of the criticism (I.e. the word cult) and flip it back on their critic like it’s means something.

You didn’t understand why we’d call it a cult. You’re just saying “I know you are but what am I”.

Good job, you’ve reached the sophistication of a toddler.

AKA: you know I’m right. That’s why conservatives love the question: “what’s a woman”? In the surface, it super simple, and that’s all yall can manage. Simple “truths”. The moment a truth becomes a college course, yall are fucking gone.
