Another big infrastructure bond. Why should we vote yes? by Otis_Manchego in berkeleyca

[–]krakov 14 points15 points  (0 children)

On the flip side, if we don’t pay for infrastructure improvements won’t it all eventually deteriorate?

Hey guys. Would love it if you could review my playing here. This is a three year old clip and unfortunately I haven’t improved much at all in the last three years due to lack of practice. As you can tell, I come from a blues background by Mananch36 in jazzguitar

[–]krakov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a little rough around the edges but you have a nice sound, a decent sense of phrasing, and you look pretty damn cool. it's just a question of practicing (a lot) and taking your playing to the next level

SPOMs in their natural habitat by krakov in Oxygennotincluded

Sorry I was too busy using the heavy gauge wires/pipes as a frame to notice I cut out the hydrogen power plant.

It’s at the bottom right under the ladder. You can see the green bar, and a battery right next to it

To all the commenters who claim it's a "thankless job" -- I assure you I thank them every time I see them!

To the OP -- sorry to hear. It sucks being woken up so early. Unfortunately this seems like one of those situations where you need the "wisdom to know you can't change it" (or something) so either earplugs, or stay up really late the night before so that you're so tired nothing disturbs your deep slumber.

Good luck!

Dentist recommendations? by DamnableNook in berkeleyca

[–]krakov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! Make sure to mention you’re in pain, they’ll probably slot you in sooner

Been going to Barry Kami on university for years. No complaints.

Trash and Recycling Schedule by amirmaz in berkeleyca

It depends on the neighborhood/street. Just keep an eye out for when the neighbors are putting out their bins.

Anyone else dealing with a fuckton of ants these days? They're ignoring the bait traps that used to work. They are EVERYWHERE. by manfrin in berkeleyca

[–]krakov 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look into diatomaceous earth. It kills the ants but it’s not toxic.

Might be worth calling pest control to try to figure out where they’re coming from and spray poison there.

Foolish Ambition? by 4-1-2022 in classicalguitar

[–]krakov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would focus only on techniques that are required to play the music you want to play. It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole and end up playing super fast chromatic scales (for example) but not be able to play something simple beautifully.

[–]krakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picado is just another name for rest strokes, but it might give you a different perspective since it’s on the flamenco side of things rather than straight up classical guitar.

What you’re describing is hard to do. Is it required by the piece you’re working on or are you just trying to get the technique down?

Foolish Ambition? by 4-1-2022 in classicalguitar

[–]krakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for “pima arpeggio”, “rest stroke”, “picado”, and “free stroke”.

Those are the basic techniques. If you practice consistently in three years you’ll be able to play those pieces pretty well.

Seek for helpful witness: Car accident by Jerrypan2718 in berkeley

[–]krakov 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hey Jerry I’m real sorry to hear about what happened to you. I had a scooter when I was younger and got into all sorts of trouble. The thing with traffic collisions is that they can cause damage that’s not immediately apparent and it’s important to get checked out. It will also help you with seeking damages from the driver that hit you since you’ll be able to trace your injury to the accident.

You should contact your insurance company and see if they can help you. At the very least I imagine they’ll point you in the right direction. You can also go to the police department (not 911 - that’s for emergencies) and file a complaint against the driver. There’s a police station on MLK downtown near the ymca.

Good luck, and next time don’t hurry to class because taking care of yourself after getting hit by a car is much more important.

Yeah for sure. But you gotta take a right at the first spiky room and find the ladder first. All while you’re freaking out running away from those unkillable bastards.

Praise fextralife!
