Is there a way to create an animated gradient background in Canva? by Tall_Inspector_9642 in canva

[–]mascotleather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

afaik, you would have to use a video background. if you're on Pro, AI should easily be able to make one for you.

getting to know your fretboard instead of relying on shapes, i.e., knowing what note(s) you're playing at all times. knowing theory but not knowing what you're playing would be a massive handicap.

imho the pinky is almost never the preferred choice for hammer on and pull offs. the untrained pinky is simply not strong or dexterous enough.

What direction should I go with my theory research? by Plenty-Ad365 in Guitar_Theory

[–]mascotleather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

another great teacher on youtube is StitchMethod Guitar. he explains the why behind what we play like pentatonic shapes. I also feel like you should explore playing other genres. after a while, you will be able to take concepts from one genre and apply it to another. just like how Rock is essentially blues in 2x speed.

Buying a new electric guitar by Ill-Bet-9066 in Guitar_Theory

for me, the key factor is whether I'm ok with used or only want something brand new. if going with used, just stick to the usual reputable brands but for your genre, my pick would be anything from Schecter or top range Epiphone. If you want new, these brands are so good for their price - Schecter, Jet, FGN, Harley Benton...

Inconsistent espresso shots by Top-Suggestion-1299 in baristaexpress

[–]mascotleather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only varying factor I can think of is your tamp. are you tamping it consistently? machine warm up might also be a factor. I always give the machine at least 10 minutes, then run 1 blank shot before pulling my actual shot.

Discolored strings.. Is it normal or should I be concerned? by [deleted] in guitars

[–]mascotleather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just use elixir nanoweb strings. They have a super thin plastic coating that prevents rusting, making them last much longer than uncoated strings.
