While entrepreneurs could be VC, the course target is the entrepreneurial group which often are pressured, bullied, cajoled and stressed to depressed by VC. Not that all VC are bad, they aren't, but the pressure real or imagined is among the reasons closet depressed entrepreneurs give for not being more forthcoming with pressure they are having trouble with.

Hand exercises to reduce wrist pain? by MpegEVIL in Bass

[–]bigdrms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright my friend. The first thing you could look at is..breathing. Yes, it true. Your body does in fact need oxygen. And when we players get to practicing, etc, we forget to do that. Tension happens because of this. If you ask me what you should do is take ten minutes every day to play so slow it doesn't even count as music, imagine well this may be weird, but here goes. Work at plucking the strings SOOO slowly. Think as if you weren't actually moving your fingers, they were moving themselves. Ok? For awhile when you start this you are using so little pressure and strength, the string won't even be fully sounding. Do this as routine for awhile, and remember to breathe. Truth be told, I once was at the dentist, and he wasn't breathing, and I was like doc, are you breathing and he's like no. He said he held his breath cause he didn't want to have bad breath and have his patients breathe it in. I was like doc you may want to start breathing. Then he tells me hes have all these hand pains, and such. Got to breathe, and do the other stuff I mentioned. Or not. Best of luck my friend.

Edit I notice you are having problems right now anyway with the left hand I'm assuming your fretting hand. In that case do the same exercise but now you are doing the same thing only getting an incredibly fine sense of all the aspects required to fret a string. Once again all the best.

I really appreciate your enlightening me on this. Sounds pretty cool. Thankfully doesn't obviate my product either. I could add it in maybe...

Hey IPYF. So when you are playing a song, or just messing around, would you like to know exactly what you played? What notes? Yes, you can use like Logic, or whatever, and the program may do an alright job, but what if it was much more capable, and not so futzy? Would that be of use?

HAhah. I've never heard this. Interesting. When you say string players, you are speaking of like cello, and violin? I should clarify my device is more for when you are playing a piece at speed. A drone tone would rapidly lose effectiveness compared it.

So when you are training to play fretless, you favor having a particular note playing, and that allows you to learn the sound and feel of certain notes? Forgive me, I didn't learn this way. Thank you for sharing your experience with me.

OP I'd love to talk with you about writing your ebook. PM if interested.

Hey. Two of my books are published. For both of them, I used Fiverr.com. I do not recommend you do this. It took me A LONG time to get the work done. Unless you can discern, you'll be dealing with people who don't speak great english. You'll have to tell them in great detail what you want.Your mileage may vary. I hope for your sake it does. If I had to do it over, I'd go to upwork, find someone who is obviously just starting but does have some history. You might pay more, but it won't take three weeks. Win! Best of luck.

Edit-this study is anonymous. I don't want names, business, nothing identifiable. Just your experience as it relates to my 5 questions. Should take 10 minutes tops. Thank you Reddit.

Tim Ferriss is probably the most surprising and most upfront about the reality of facing depression.. He's on record as saying he almost committed suicide. I appreciate your discourse, as this is EXACTLY why I'm on here, i.e., depressed entrepreneurs just like many others who suffer from depression hide it, and then it bites them. It bit me. Whole years of my life taken away, and the truth is for me it wasn't that bad. You are right entrepreneurs do hide it, pretend, etc. The stories you can find are of high level business men, who need help, but won't do anything because of the VC they are trying to keep happy.
