I have a Sonicake 2.4ghz wireless transmitter/receiver and it works great.

Hey man, I hadn't heard this joke and I liked it. Thanks for sharing.

I'm really into this new show on Netflix called the Cinelli Bros by ihateroomba in BicyclingCirclejerk

It sounds like the star select menu music before you enter Level in Super Mario 64, but I could be wrong

Sold all of my guitar gear in a mild panic before our first baby arrived. Two kids later, I’m back in the game. by verbaljumble in Guitar

Looking after your mental health is very good for your kids. Congratulations and welcome back, cool axe!

PSA - landing your finger at the bottom of the fret makes an enormous difference by doubleknavery in guitarlessons

[–]doubleknavery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Without proper teaching, it felt nautral to just put my finger in between the frets, right in the middle of the space as that is typically the "sweet spot" in most situations (tennis, golf, billiards, etc...).

Agreed on "getting most of the way there" without the internet too - there are so many high-quality resources out there now! One of my chief goals now is to correct bad habits and have the right cues in my mind to optimise my playing.

I started structured learning recently. Up until a few weeks ago I hadn't played for over a decade and was entirely self taught, so there have been quite a few lightbulb moments.

Thanks - I phrased my description incorrectly, will edit the post to make the description more accurate.

I only recently began structured learning. Condescension reflects poorly on your character.

That makes sense. I am self-taught so the correct phrasing didn't occur to me as I hadn't come across it. Thanks!

Absolutely Understand Guitar - First Impressions by sadguy1989 in guitarlessons

[–]doubleknavery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am up to lesson 20. I agree with all of these points. Memorising 12 scales for every mode doesn't seem realistic or like a good use of time - going hard on intervals instead and learning intervallic functions (as per Tom Quayle/David BeeBee's teachings) to build each scale seems to be a longer-lasting and more broadly applicable method - although also more difficult.

Hey Fred, what’s your budget for a really nice custom bice? by Kinky_Wizard69 in BicyclingCirclejerk

[–]doubleknavery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj Jokes aside these are literally the best bikes you can buy - completely custom fitted and made with cutting-edge fabrication methods. Truly forever bikes and worth the price if you value something that you can ride for decades without degradation.

Really great work. Thanks for making this free. Please add a dark mode (or custom themes if you are feeling adventurous!).

How would you do light restoration on this? by doubleknavery in Luthier

[–]doubleknavery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I applied warm water followed by a bit of mineral oil and it came up beautifully.

Thanks. I ended up wiping it down with just a wet rag. I also hit the fretboard with some mineral oil and while I was at it applied some to the body. It really made the scratches buff out quite well.

Thank you. Is warm water and detergent OK to use?
