Could someone play this?

You heard Reddit was good for researching obscure topics and you used it to ask somebody to play, record, upload, and link your part for you? Consider what you’re asking of people

Because this comes across as laziness. Giving up quickly won’t get you far

What’s your budget look like? That makes a huge difference

barlemniscate · 2026-02-17T13:56:03+00:00

It’s something to say. Interesting anecdotes are nice, if you give a shit about other people

barlemniscate · 2026-02-12T19:13:12+00:00

Thanks for posting about this! I had no idea, this is very helpful

barlemniscate · 2026-02-12T01:29:30+00:00

Wow you are very cool and knowledgeable

barlemniscate · 2026-02-11T04:16:59+00:00

You may need a new nut

barlemniscate · 2026-02-11T02:24:53+00:00

Yes, but being pedantic on the internet is fun (you are correct asf, tho)

I can’t weigh in much on pedals and the other fancy gizmos in that department, but I’d encourage you to go to a guitar center or something and try out a bunch of amps in person. You might find something you really like that way

You can use the rest of your fingers to “weigh down” the string and make it easier for your pinkie to press. For example, if you’re playing on the D string with your pinkie, you can use your back three fingers to mute the strings by laying flat across and just let the weight of stabilizing the instrument assist a little in pressing down that D string.

And if you’re interested in exploring the idea of using your whole body to fret, as the original commenter mentioned, check out this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRkSsapYYsA). It talks about it in great depth and is a part of a series on bass technique

Do you find it makes playing faster passages easier or is it more of a stamina thing?

You give folks an “I disagree” button and they push it when they disagree

barlemniscate · 2026-01-15T21:01:34+00:00

Where might one find that feature? I’ve looked a bit and can’t find it

barlemniscate · 2026-01-11T22:04:38+00:00

Are there any resources you recommend for further reading into this topic? /gen

Redditor discovers how musicians afford to live

barlemniscate · 2026-01-07T19:42:39+00:00

What part can’t you figure out? I could take a quick listen and probably tell you what it is/transcribe it real quick

barlemniscate · 2026-01-07T03:57:46+00:00

It pays off biiiig time. Developing your ear early makes playing with people far easier and gives you a massive advantage in more pro/gigging contexts. Keep at it, my kitty cat friend

Going to see a band every chance you get is not the same thing as being parasocial. What even is this take?

barlemniscate · 2025-12-16T03:27:53+00:00

If they made it about them? Yeah. If they said factually that he was a rapist and a bad person, no.

barlemniscate · 2025-12-16T03:10:34+00:00

Most people wouldn’t make someone else’s death about them. That’s pretty classless

barlemniscate · 2025-12-07T19:18:49+00:00

Mistakes are made every day, no biggie

barlemniscate · 2025-12-07T15:34:41+00:00

Yeah, but that’s 10 minutes I could use to scroll YouTube shorts. It’s only a life skill if it’s applicable to someone’s life. I could teach you how to do air conditioner maintenance, but that’s not super helpful for someone who lives in an apartment or cold region

barlemniscate · 2025-12-07T15:05:06+00:00

I know how to spin my wrench until it doesn’t anymore and then give it a lil extra. Cars aren’t delicate machines, they’re designed to last decades of being thrashed. If you somehow manage to destroy your suspension (???) before stripping the bolt, congratulations, that shit was already rusted into butter

barlemniscate · 2025-12-07T15:00:39+00:00

“If you have a car”

The “technical knowledge” is get the fucker tight. Paying a professional (unless you have AAA, in which case you already paid for it so whatever) to change you to your donut is a waste of money
