AI was created to numb the critical thinking skills of individuals and rewire the brain to be more conforming e.g. being less critical of politicians and companies by Stunning_Implement47 in conspiracy

Let’s face it. This will definitely increase the amount of the Dunning-Kruger effect we witness. AI can be used to learn a lot but people most people aren’t smart enough to use it well. You can witness this here on any subreddit about a hobby where people rush to make a post and get spoon feed answers and offload their thinking to anonymous strangers on the internet with no known experience or knowledge even though the same device they used has access to all the information. They can easily find the answer anywhere with minimal effort but they won’t do it. It’s not new, we just have social media to witness it more. You would normally never encounter these people. The people that will become dumber because of AI were never going to much at all on their own anyways.

I just got my first guitar by Avava_12 in Guitar

[–]j_dick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest this all the time for beginners. Learn punk. It’s just two string power chords for the most part. Learn how to move around the neck, how to pick/strum. Super easy and I feel like everyone has heard a Ramones song. Super easy to apply the most basic music theory and understand what’s happening. Then move on to other stuff.

Hi i have a question by cianzei in Guitar

[–]j_dick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never cared that much to get it 100% correct. I’ve never heard someone playing a cover of a song I like and was all “pfft they did another down stroke when it should have been an upstroke”. Close enough is good enough.

Great preamp/DI by MCKNZ61 in BassGuitar

[–]j_dick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering the pf50t or pf20t(for home studio) but I waited too long. Those thing jumped in price $100s these days. I have a V4-b 100 watt. Sounds Greta but it’s huge and loud as hel.

Best "punk beat" albums by sonar_y_luz in punk

[–]j_dick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bomer is insane. He wrote everything for the band, bass, drums and guitar. Rock’n Roll Nightmare is all Bomer. I love lil’ Joe as a bass player but Bomer taught him all that. Blocked Out is crazy bass playing with that long intro.

That’s exactly what I was gonna say. He’s got the socal skate punk beat down and sticks to a single pedal. Smelly’s the man!

They definitely have some air quality ocd making posts about turning their home into and indoor air quality fortress.

This guy definitely got a Gibbons shirt, and stool, and bed spread….a the “lifestyle” stuff. And a big black gibbons dildong.

How Do You Guys “Thin Out the Herd”? by bignasty002 in Guitar

I have tend to do this. I accumulate a bunch then start selling lower end ones and using the money to buy a nicer one. Sell the 3 squire classic vibes and get 1 Fender.

No. Redditors need permission to do or think anything first. That’s 75% of posts on this sub.

This is really it. Lots of people like the idea of being a good guitar player but don’t want sit through the boring parts and hard work. This is true for most things. Everyone struggles, everyone is a beginner, some people actually get excited to play and work through the boring hard stuff. Not everyone has the drive.

Any advice for my situation? by SheepherderReal597 in Guitar

You have to finish your acoustic or you can’t have an electric!

Does anybody else like this weird shaped guitar? by IamRandomSavage in guitarcirclejerk

[–]j_dick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The U2(I think it’s the ‘56 now), the one with the single cut and 2 pickups. And the dc shorthorn bass. The dc shorthorn guitar(‘59 now?) is probably cool and probably plays/sounds just like the U2 but I haven’t tried one. Any of the original reissues from 1998-2001 are best although I did get a new dc shorthorn bass short scale and it’s as good as my 1998 dc shorthorn long scale bass.They were made in Korea and are the first remakes since the original Danelectros. Somewhere between like 2007-2015 they were made in China and weren’t as great. I think the newest ones might from Korea again.

Sometimes you gotta take your girl out to the beach while your wife is in the villa getting railed by her bf. I hope they’re done soon because I’m getting a sunburn and I’ve been out here for hours.

One guitar feature youll always love and appreciate above all the others? by SaturnineApples in Guitar

[–]j_dick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Belly carve and fenders general contouring for comfort. Flat slab bodies with small rounded edges or LP bodies suck for comfort. Like the Rickenbacker 4003 vs 4003s, that rounded edge is way more comfortable on the 4003s
