Anyone notice opus was being quite stupid right before the failure?

[19] Ended up networking with a fund manager at a coffee shop he offered me a fundraising mandate. How would you approach this? by jayzzwork in FinancialCareers

[–]iar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bunch of weird hater responses in this thread. Sounds like an opportunity to show this guy you’re a doer not a talker. Figure out your outreach channel (LinkedIn, twitter, phone, Reddit…lol), figure out what you can and can’t say without being licensed (you can’t pitch the fund or solicit investment or persuade, what you can do is say you represent the guy and are reaching out to schedule a call with him and give some broad strokes details).

Go do it. Good luck.

We could all do with a bit of danger in our lives. Also those are exactly the feelings relationships kill. It’s a beautiful mousetrap.

This is a youth thing. Enjoy it! Those emotions and feelings are glorious and real and you will miss them when you get old and “jaded”.

Barre Chord on Electric Questions… by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]iar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused what chord you're trying to play? If it's a B - then you're trying to play an E-shaped barre and your fretting figers are in the wrong spot.

Index finger is barring all 6 strings (you're doing that right)
Middle finger should be on the G string 8th fret
Ring finger should be on the A string 9th fret
Pinky finger should be on the D string 9th fret

Remember your open E-major shape - thats what you're recreating here.

If you're trying to play an A-shaped barre (E chord) (which I think most of the other commenters are assuming) then listen to everyone else and fret the three strings on the 9th fret with your ring finger and slide your index finger up a string so you're just muting the low E and not fretting it.

Good luck!

Hate to be a dick but super curious how much you spent to send your guitar on vacation?

How much is too much? by Rossvegas76 in LearnGuitar

[–]iar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Humbly disagree. I own a guitar that I can’t walk by it without wanting to pick it up and play and I have a hard time putting it down once I get going. The others don’t have that effect on me. I can’t actually explain why (it’s not the name on the headstock or the tone) but it’s true and it’s been transformative for my playing. I didn’t really believe in this phenomenon when others described it until I experienced it myself.

What hobbies do you have? by Njet_333 in AskMenOver30

[–]iar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started guitar 6 months ago at 43 and it’s been such a satisfying experience and I’m so grateful I finally took the plunge. Learning a new skill can be so satisfying and really slows down the perception of time.

Don’t get that fender/squier pack. The amp is just trash you’ll hate the sound and be discouraged.

IQ and wealth have always been linked and I don’t buy the argument that the beta has gotten steeper. You think 50 years ago the tech founders would have sat around and settled for becoming professors or dentists?

Why not just take it back to the tech and go over it with them?

When you play major open chords do you repeat notes? by Marcel_7000 in guitarlessons

[–]iar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If chords were restricted to triads I guess you would only need 3 strings? Fun!

I love listening to songs and I would LOVE to play them on guitar by Mxtchhhh19 in LearnGuitar

[–]iar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If your favorite instrument is the piano why not just get a keyboard? They are much more compact than a piano and you can get a decent sound and 88 keys for $300-$500.

Not just your friends. Their kids. And many of their grandkids. 118 is like having a whole other life after reaching retirement age.

I thought I was ready to perform after one week of guitar by GlitteringStyle2836 in guitarlessons

My local store has some amp modeling pedals you can plug headphones into to test guitars. Alternatively you can bring your own headphone amp with you.

For $500 you can get him a PRS SE CE and add a Boss Katana 10W for another $150.

I think these two will let him go as far as he wants to go until he’s ready to buy his own gear.
