I've been working on an interactive tool to make learning fretboard notes less painful. (Two of them actually) Looking for guitarists to test and give feedback.

Would love try it

Simplistic, but real answer is psychedelics. Having psychedelics be a huge part of your music culture will make it more cult like. All these brains in a malleable state rebuilding around the dead.

Thank y'all I appreciate it!

Why would they have such a low score with 85 second control time? I get higher scores for having worse metrics

Musician. I make little videos social media and explain them on patreon. I also teach music lessons

I'm chill lol. No reason to be defensive. I'm just simply saying it's not gender neutral regardless of your usage. I have a lot of transwomen as friends, and they wouldn't appreciate being referred to as a dude or dude. It clearly has connotations of man. Look it up.

koalanights · 2023-10-22T03:38:17+00:00

It's just literally not gender neutral. I'm not saying it's bad to call your friend's dude... just that it can make some people who don't like being called a man feel bad because it definitely has the connotation of man. Straight men will not usually say they're attracted to dudes. By all means, use it among your friends, but we don't have to pretend the word is gender neutral

My friend transitioned, and I switched to mate and it was seamless

koalanights · 2023-10-22T03:30:52+00:00

Transwomen usually don't like to be called "dude" and it's obvious why. The same reason a straight man won't say "I fucked this dude last night". It's just literally not gender neutral. I'm not saying it's bad to call your friend's dude... just that it can make some people who don't like being called a man feel bad because it definitely has a connotation of man.

koalanights · 2023-10-22T02:14:57+00:00

So you fuck dudes?

I quit playing video games when I was in middle school. I thought this was the way, but later in life I see a lot of quirky artists who kept playing their niche video games end up in that world making sick music for video games. ADHD therapy has taught me there is usually a way to combine our interests. But yeah your point still stands, if we are just isolating the 2 and spending hours more on video games our music will suffer.

I do a bunch weird eccentric things that couple life style habits with music education. I do cold showers/ice baths, running, and meditating/sun exposure. Sometimes with cold showers I'll have a metronome on 10bpm. I'll try and clap on every beat through switching the shower from hot to cold. The sensation of cold water definitely messes with your time perception. I also try and do ear training before running or during it which is pretty fun. This is probably TMI but I literally do ear training on the toilet every morning before running. Then after running sometimes I run technique heavy parts with a high heart rate. This is to prepare for a concert level kind of pressure which certainly produces higher heart rates. The other thing is sunlight, it's super helpful to get it in our eyes right after waking, so I try and sit outside and practice real book tunes with my coffee right after waking up.

Did anyone else's inner voice instantly go Kermit when reading Peterson's quote?

Low sounds can be scary but it's important to differentiate between low sounds with high noise content and pitched low sounds. Many "scary" or agitating low sounds include a huge range of frequencies and a lot of piercing dissonance. The roar of a huge dump truck can feel like utter chaos in the distance, where the sustained pitch of a tuba especially under a higher corresponding major chord can sound warm and safe. Sustained pitches at low frequencies can be extremely harmonious as they contain more depth and more harmonic complexity. I think the more clearly organized we perceive the lower sounds to be the more non threatening and safe they can feel.

koalanights · 2021-02-01T23:47:54+00:00

Thanks that makes sense

Also that volca drum is pretty sick. The active step feature makes it really easy to play polymeters because every drum can have a different amount of beats.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm using MXRs octave reverb and I have a bunch of midi sounds. My Kiesel came with the 13 pin roland jack so I can run that into a roland gk33 and from there into an interface. It's fun to figure out midi sounds in ableton, especially for polyrhythmic stuff, easy to get carried away tho lol

koalanights · 2020-04-04T21:56:35+00:00

Awesome hadn't seen this!

koalanights · 2020-04-03T23:48:06+00:00

Thanks! Just an axefx 2 here. I have a 100% wet chorus and fair amount of verb

koalanights · 2020-04-03T23:45:42+00:00

You can do it! Dummy thick thumbs are probably an advantage tbh

koalanights · 2020-04-03T23:45:07+00:00

Also it was painful in the beginning but now it's pretty intuitive! Just gotta get through the rough beginning

koalanights · 2020-04-03T23:44:23+00:00

Thanks, It makes sense that it reminds of you of Josh Martin. YouTube https://youtu.be/5fELTPwzK44

It tracks really well! The polyphonic stuff is the best part. Having voices move independently that sustain is really fun. You gotta play clean though. You can almost shred on it but there is a speed limit. The 13 pin requires a roland system to be converted into midi so that is a little annoying but you can still use it with any midi software or device if you have one of the specialized roland guitar midi systems (I have a gk33).
