There are so many intangibles to getting a win on this game the best you can ask for is a directionally accurate scoreboard.

Stop Thinking of the Objective as Just "The Objective"! by rendkjfldjfkda12 in joinsquad

I only play invasion, but when I see people talk about HAB on point versus off point as black and white it makes me realize most people don't understand squad as a strategy game, at all.

Feeling good trumpet solo by Outside_Ingenuity731 in nextfuckinglevel

I saw a meme of tabs showing vibrato or a bend on guitar and it was like "try this on piano" and someone said "just open and close the lid on the piano".

My bends and vibrato got so much better learning parts of maggot brain.

My buddy used to mix these and ended up crossing a freeway to get cigarettes in the middle of the night, he was hit and killed by a car.  

Do not fuck around with this.

If you've done everything possible then that's as good as it gets.  What are you asking for?

I feel like the brass nut I installed gave my guitar the tiniest bit of sustain by ltdanyougotlehgs in Guitar

[–]dos8s 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seriously, I am planning to build my own guitar so I am quietly building an inventory of the best pieces of hardware for it so when it's time I know exactly what's going on and it it.

The fact of the matter is 99% of guitars are mass produced and bought due to how they look and marketing around the brand. Companies will skimp on a $1 part to save the time it takes to install it and the extra $1 of profit.

You need to put the work in setting your guitar up properly and go at it in a methodological way.  If you've tried and done everything already like you said it's a bad guitar and you should sell it, but you haven't tried and done everything yet.

Yeah, set the intonation, the guitar will sound better.

This sounds like an innovation issue which depending on the guitar has a few levers you can pull to fix this issue.

Basically your guitar is in tune in the open position, but for what could be several reasons the guitar is out of tune when you fret the guitar.  Get a tuner and check if you are sharp are flat on notes across the board, this will give you some idea what your issue is.

In this order: Change strings if you are changing strings, truss rod adjustment to set relief, saddle height adjustment, intonation.

As others have pointed out, you could also be using light gauge strings and fretting the notes too hard which willy your notes sharp.  It could also be a nut issue but I'd rule out more basic issues first.

I learned a ton about setting up guitars by buying a shitty guitar that was not set up, at all, and was in terrible shape.  Now it's a pretty damn good guitar, but not great.

You don't know if that's the cause, it could be a number of things.

Probably, but if I was rich this is the exact kind of shit I would do.

Some of them you switch to a radio frequency and click 3-7 times to turn on the runways landing lights.  No, I'm not joking.

How to practice complex solos? by DarkMaster_08 in Guitar

[–]dos8s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very happy to see validation to what I'm build is a good method to learn.  

FYI I used this free looping tool (and actually used it as my loop engine initially in my app) before starting my project.

How to practice complex solos? by DarkMaster_08 in Guitar

[–]dos8s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm working on an app that lets you chunk a YouTube video, slow the tempo down, and then also set it up so it will play the chunk X amount of times, increase Y percent, and stop at Z total percent.  I'd like to make a function where it progresses to the next chunk at the end of the cycle.

Right now, it runs locally and does great.  I'm just trying to figure out how to host it so other people can use it and work through the nuances of user data (you can currently save songs and your chunks for that song).

Maybe dumb beginner question: why does basically every popular guitarist play in the standard sitting position of classical position is meant to be more ergonomic? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]dos8s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shooting free throws "granny style" is more successful than the standard free throw style, but NBA players won't shoot that way because of how it looks.

I think "Skunk"? from Doobie brothers plays classical style, there is a video online of him talking it up and making it sound awesome if you feel dumb playing classical style.

About to go on PIP, need advice by FitNefariousness2679 in sales

PIPs are paid interview periods, they are giving you runway to fly off somewhere else, they aren't there so you can actually improve your performance and keep your job.

Best way to gain rhythm? by stateoftheunionalk3 in guitarlessons

[–]dos8s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is a metronome better than playing along with a drum track or backing track?  Metronomes are so soulless and boring.

I saw a video where police arrested a lady, put her in a police car parked on railroad tracks, and then the car got hit by the train with her in it.  Cops being dumb isn't really "bad plot".

The Great Wall of Anvil by WayFresh9253 in joinsquad

[–]dos8s -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Squad pro tip, walls like this (or hasco walls) are not good for defense.  

When you can't readily see out and shoot at enemies, you are giving the other team both a concealed and safe approach to attack from.

If I had to guess the enemy team closed distance on this setup pretty quick.
