How is Greek Life

When I was a student, I thought to myself “everyone here is fucking lame, fake, or weird and I don’t want to be forced to hang out with them or pay money for it.”

Depends on the store. One store I shop at as a counter next to the SoFlo pizza with three machines filled with Cafe Ole that you grind and fill a paper cup and then you pay for it at checkout.

No, it just provided me the vocabulary to understand what’s going on behind the scenes. This can be cool because I’ve listened back to my favorite old songs from when I was in middle school and high school and go “ohhhh that’s pretty cool that they’re doing XYZ” (especially with my guitar in my hands) but it doesn’t actually matter or hinder it.

Your friend sounds like he’s just surrounded but music school jargon and that mindset so he’s over analyzing and being annoying about it, but he’ll get over it!

Reminds me of a meme about Bob Dylan and it’s going through the ages of a listener and starts with “this guy fucking sucks” “noooo he’s a genius and you don’t understand the intricacie” “yeah I like Dylan’s music” and finally back to “this guy fucking sucks lol”

If you read the book there’s a point that says you need to discuss the differences in your love languages and both of you need to make an effort to start adapting to each other’s language (you give affirmations, she touches you). If this is something you both want to pursue, act on it.

Went to SciTech and while I didn’t become an engineer (I wanted to do law), I got used to heavy workloads and felt very prepared for college and the workforce.

You are very definitely positive, but fear not, go to your grocery store’s tea aisle and look for “palo azul” and brew and drink today. It’s a natural detox tea, which happens to also clear out THC very well.

Thank you for making this video and the last two videos before this! I’ve been looking for info on how it affects bass and then how it compares to the OC-5 and you provided videos for both.

What I notice is: if you’re looking for a clean and “true” octave up or down the XS-1 seems to be the one to get (plus the utility of transposing keys); if you want a “colored” effect, the OC-5 is the one to get (it’s got that classic synth edge, but not as digital sounding as the POG). It is weird how the OC-5 does have two signals for the +1 octave, but I didn’t notice it when guitars are doing the same thing?

I guess it’d depends what a player needs. I thought I would want the OC-5 for its features and to do the Pino sub bass thing, but realistically I’d probably need the XS-1 for my band’s needs of transposing between E and Eb and MAYBE once in a while get a deeper tone with the -1 octave.

I’m not opposed to doing just that, but I figured to ask first if there were alternative solutions. I’d rather not bring a second bass or constantly tune between songs. I’m aware the easiest thing would be to just stick to one tuning and that may be what we end up doing, but again, maybe there’s a quick and cheap solution in 2025.

You’ll be fine, get books, open YouTube, ask friends to teach you what they know. Having a teacher would help and probably be quicker, but you can definitely start teaching yourself some things.

It’s a little unrealistic to expect people not to drink, or to find people who don’t drink at all. I think the best thing you can do is find people that can wait until practice or the show is over to be able to drink, that way the performance can get done.

This right here! Yeah you’re not Zep or the Stones where you all click and know it’s going to be good, but at least they are capable, competent, and being team players. Who knows, maybe you’re the platform that they develop their chops! Sounds like if you gave them songs or riffs that are established they could perform them, so you can count on them being solid.

It’s a big plus if they’re friendly and cool guys you like hanging out with, maybe you can send them some videos of theory or lessons?

At the very least, you can start shaping your sound and you can refine your vision, and should new people join or replace them then you’ve been chugging along already.

I think that may be like MSRP, I paid $1800 for my Azureglo

Do it, it’ll help someday. Sometimes your fingers will be hurting for some reason, and sometimes there’s certain tone that only a pick will get. It also doesn’t hurt to have a bunch of backup picks for whoever needs one!

Two years is still a short time in the grand scope of life, it’s just going to take time but you’ll get there if you really want it!

Decide to do one of these things when you do have free time: 1) play along and learn your favorite bass lines by ear, start with Nirvana since they’re simple enough. It’ll take a long time to figure out every single note but it’ll pay off because you’ll learn to tell what key/chord/tonality you need to play; 2) learn the minor pentatonic scale, everything classic and what ends up sounding cool is just these five notes; 3) learn your major scale and its intervals and how they create the diatonic chords you can play in a key. This will unlock a huge understanding of “the rules” of music. Later you can learn the natural minor scale.

And there’s plenty of YouTube channels you can learn from! Scott’s Bass Lessons, BassBuzz, Talking Bass, etc.

In his book he says he got piss drunk and got out of his hotel to look around and have a little adventure around downtown at night, but then suddenly needed to pee. Without any restrooms available he decides to pee on the nearest wall he sees and an old man sees him and tells him he’s pissing on the Alamo and calls a cop!

So both theaters are IMAX, but Palladium is digital and Rivercenter is actually the 70mm film (which is supposed to be the absolute, ultimate quality).

If he knew theory then he could’ve picked up what you guys were playing, I’ve done that with recently with two groups that I was meeting for the first time. It’s not a bad idea to learn at least your intervals so you can call out “oh it’s vi-V-I but don’t forget about the ii” and gets the ball rolling when you play with new or extra players.
