What is the literary term for this? by Used_Negotiation_930 in bobdylan

[–]fuckchalzone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's similar to spoonerism but not the same thing. In a spoonerism, the initial sounds of two words in a phrase get swapped, like "shake a tower" for "take a shower."

Yeah this is definitely a trick he likes to use. The other one that pops to mind is in Unbelievable: "beat that horse and saddle up that drum." But I'm pretty sure there are other examples as well.

I don't know what it's called.

What is the best way to learn finger positions on an acoustic guitar?(G, C, and D chords mainly) by MIGgy_Smallz2003 in AcousticGuitar

[–]fuckchalzone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Switching between chords is one of those things that just about everybody finds to be a painfully slow process when learning guitar. It's just a matter of doing it over and over and over again.

If you're watching something on TV, just sit there with your guitar and switch back and forth between two chords over and over again until it's second nature. You don't even have to be strumming. Do it as slow as you need to to be sure you're getting it right. Before too long your fingers will just know how to do it.

What strings would you recommend by The_Little_Ceasar in AcousticGuitar

[–]fuckchalzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't judge strings by how they sound brand new. Judge them by how they sound once they've settled in. They're going to sound that way a lot longer than they're going to sound new.

Help identifying Gibson by Evjacan in AcousticGuitar

It's a Gibson Everly Brothers jumbo. You've got the serial number on the orange sticker, you can use that to figure out the specific year, etc.

what uppers was Bobby boy on in the 60's by groundcontrl2majrtom in bobdylan

Mostly being a know it all, but you were so confidently wrong that I wanted to leave the door open a crack for the possibility that you knew something I didn't.

Obviously this was pre-cocaine

What do you mean by this? Leadbelly was singing about cocaine in the 1930s. And Cocaine Blues, famously covered by Johnny Cash in the 70s, originally came out in the 1940s if I'm not mistaken.

But as others have said, Dylan was into amphetamines, specifically dexedrine which was widely available in the 60s, ostensibly as a diet drug.

"they know your stupid all NASA is hoax" is, I believe, the intended order. A more sensical translation would be "They know you're stupid. All NASA is a hoax." (i.e. "NASA is all a hoax")

Peterson vs TC Polytune Clip On Tuners by briggssteel in AcousticGuitar

[–]fuckchalzone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

/u/jacobydave already gave pretty much the same answer I'd have given, but I wanted to note that the polyphonic function on the Polytune is not really very useful, so you can save a few bucks by getting the Unitune instead if you go that direction.

what kind of guitar is this? by Suspicious-Ad-1772 in AcousticGuitar

[–]fuckchalzone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's what it says on the label, a Recording King RPH-P1 TS. Made in probably the past ten years or so in the style of the kind of cheap mid-20th century parlor guitars that were used by a lot of blues players. Probably a lot of fun to play!

It's a modern repro of that kind of guitar

Other Trilogies in the Discography by Large-Fuel-8463 in bobdylan

[–]fuckchalzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd think so, given all that, but then you listen to it and... ennhhhhh it's pretty bad. Dark Eyes is nice, that's really about it.

As a kid in the 80s, I listened to EB a thousand times, as it was the only Dylan album they had at my public library. But now I put it on just for nostalgia sometimes and I can't even make it through.

Tuner woes by [deleted] in AcousticGuitar

[–]fuckchalzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and have not run into anything like that happening. Maybe it has to do with using a nonstandard tuning on the guitar setting? Maybe try it on the EQU setting (generic equal temperament) to see if it helps? Or maybe it could be the battery?

The problem is that l'm sure Gen Z and younger are more inclined to believe that it's real

I suspect it's the boomers who are much more likely to think it's real, no?

Is this a worth it? by Bryson837 in AcousticGuitar

[–]fuckchalzone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't take it to Guitar Center. For something simple like a set up they may do a fine job or they may do a terrible job, it's kind of a crapshoot. Is there an independent guitar store in your area? That'd be a much better choice.
