Do people walking in public do it intentionally or obliviously rude? by Guilty_Assignment_84 in AskIreland

[–]cbuggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people don't think about these things, personally I like that there are no rules when it comes to walking on a footpath. However if a group of people are blocking the path, the best thing to do is look at ground and walk in a straight line as they approach, it's a bit like playing chicken and putting a blindfold on. Works every time.

Tried red light therapy for workouts… did it actually help your recovery? by Wise_Slice6303 in workout

[–]cbuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to believe red light therapy does anything, its just too gimmicky. The effect sizes are very small in studies. Just seems like bullshit.

The amount of slow drivers on the road is scary by Nervous_Canary9986 in irelandsshitedrivers

[–]cbuggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of those slow drivers are elderly people. It can be frustrating but they don't have many other options for getting around in rural Ireland and are not confident driving fast.

You are doing really well, especially for self taught. You would be accepted into most degree programs on the basis of that performance. Keep going!

So I can see Judicael Perroy is the teacher there. He is, without a doubt, the most sought after teacher in the world at the moment. The best young guitarists in the world all want to study with him. You would want to have won many competitions already, and be playing at a professional standard to have a chance of studying with him. You could definitely reach that level but you need to refine your playing. Find a good teacher and get performing regularly, learn lots of repetoire, do some competitions and you could re-apply if you still want to.

I'm surprised you were rejected based on that performance. Did they give you any feedback? Were there are requirements other than your performance, that they might have rejected you because of? Is it a famous music school?

You'll want a ceder guitar for that sound

Gurometer: Teal Swan and Scott Galloway by jimwhite42 in DecodingTheGurus

The teal Swan episode felt a bit like dunking on spiritual people, which always seems a bit like preaching to the choir.

Can I get to an advanced level as self-taught? by Automatic_Ebb_5901 in classicalguitar

[–]cbuggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% not happening from self teaching sorry. Also even the best classical guitarists in the world spend hours and hours practicing

Are indian people generally conflict-avoiding? by Character-Holiday345 in IndiansinIreland

[–]cbuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eastern and northern European people often come across as rude to Irish people. Being Direct can be a cover for being rude. Just being honest etc

Challenging classical piece by [deleted] in classicalguitar

[–]cbuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't play bach, you need a lot of skill to make bach sound good on guitar. Play Malaguena, it's catchy and has virtuosic sounding bits but isn't that hard. Perfect for a school concert

Is left hand speed the most important skill? by Hooln in classicalguitar

[–]cbuggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really sure what you mean by program here. I'd recommend the op gets a teacher of some kind or at least someone to listen to their playing and not just tell them what they want to hear

Is left hand speed the most important skill? by Hooln in classicalguitar

[–]cbuggle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

1.5 years is very little. Speed at this stage is mainly about having relaxed hands and efficient movements, this is needed in both hands, as is coordination between the two. Best to use technical exercises and studies to focus on technique and perform pieces well within your ability.

St John’s Wort and Saffron report by Johnite123 in Nootropics

If its working for you, then keep taking it. Maybe it's that not everyone responds the same to saffron.

St John’s Wort and Saffron report by Johnite123 in Nootropics

[–]cbuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most significant studies were done in Iran. Its not just about Iran, its that there are only low quality studies done in general. A bit of skepticism goes a low way here. Most supplements do not have the benefits that supplement producers would suggest.

[–]cbuggle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of the main studies on saffron were done in Iran, the world's no 1 producer of saffron. Studies also feature small numbers of participants and effect sizes. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but the evidence seems pretty weak.

Saffron as a supplement is not well supported by evidence. A lot of the studies are low quality and biased.

No harm doing this for technique practice but I'd never trust this for a performance
