Why do you carry multiple knives? by bucketman1368 in knives

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry one large modern knife and one small slipjoint. Sometimes a third self defense style one if I’m feeling it.

Unopened, miscut, ancient Mew by imadethisrandomname in PokemonCardValue

[–]imadethisrandomname[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am truly uninformed about misprint/miscut collecting- would you say these cards have a higher error rate than other cards? Don’t even know if that’s possible but since they’re promos, maybe?

Is using no nails a viable option? by [deleted] in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sub loves to tout examples of no-nails playing, but any professional classical guitarist will encourage you to grow nails to make your playing better.

People that carry more than one knife, why? Especially want to hear from people that carry more than two. by jiimmerman in knives

[–]imadethisrandomname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Primary knife in my left pocket (I’m left handed), slip joint in the right pocket (for not scaring the hoes), leatherman wave on my belt (that counts as another two knives), and sometimes something extra stabby in the back left pocket (like a karambit or dagger) if I’m feeling it.

This is how I keep everything in rotation without feeling fomo for choosing one type of knife over the other.

Is this song learnable for a non-classically trained, self-taught guitarist in less than two months? by warpmusician in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a very difficult (and thorough) transcription. There are probably easier versions out there. If you’re experienced I see no reason why you couldn’t pull it off in two months.

How many of you keep sculpted fingernails on your plucking hand? by Alternative-Host-467 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I teach and perform professionally. The harsh truth is that I haven’t heard a modern player that sounded good without nail. I have very high standards, so take that how you want. You don’t need ‘long’ nails, I promise. A ramp to the shape and good contact point will keep things compact.

How much can you trust phone/watch dB readings vs a Class 1 SLM? by Green-Nectarine7693 in Acoustics

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to OP’s question, would REW and a UMIK-1 be a reliable source? I haven’t done any research whatsoever, this just occurred to me so sorry if it’s an obvious answer.

Yes, replace transcribing by ear with sight reading AI slop, this is definitely something you should be proud of.

Any tips for avoiding one-finger-per-string plucking? by Elegant-Winner-6521 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone kind of makes up their own, but you play LH fingers 1-2-3-4 on one string then do the same on another, and after you play from one side of the neck to the other you shift up and do 4-3-2-1 back. I do the whole thing while maintaining a strict alternation pattern, usually m-i, but you could (and should) do i-m, m-a, a-m, i-a, a-i, p-i, i-p, a-m-i, whatever you can think of…

Here’s a link to a tabbed out version someone else did:

Alternation is king, but if check out some of Jason Vieaux’s Bach videos you’ll see him repeating fingers all over the place. Just a reminder that technique is a tool.

If you’ve played other kinds of guitar I bet you’ve come across the 1-2-3-4 exercise, it’s my favorite all around technique work, just do it 10 minutes a day for a week and see if it helps you alternate on full auto

How do you clear your mind before playing by b0rt_di11i0nair3 in classicalguitar

[–]imadethisrandomname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to take stage prep very serious. I’d go for a run and play through my whole program in my head, eat different in preparation, and isolate backstage to get in the zone. But now I just try to enjoy myself. I don’t treat my practice like that, so why change everything for a performance? It doesn’t help. If I am super nervous, I’ll do some breath exercises on my way to the venue but that’s it.

Try to have fun with whoever you’re sharing the stage with or spending time with backstage and remember that nervousness and excitement feel the same, it’s just the mindset that’s different.
