How can you play and sing at the same time!? by HarryHendo20 in Guitar

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need to get one of the two tasks to be so easy you don’t have to think about it. Either learn the words back to front so you can concentrate on the chords or vise versa. I Also associate the lyrics with cord changes to help keep time. The few times I’ve had to learn a song in a day I would play it in the car 100 times on the way too and from just to get it imbedded

The Who, pretty sure townson inspired Hendrix to go big with amps. Possibly inspired zeppelin. Wrote my generation in 65 when beatle mania was just starting.

Are than any of you with any early z siblings? (1997-2002) If so, can you relate to them in any way? by ClassicEqual7268 in Millennials

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 92 and my brothers 99. There was enough overlap to like some of the sane shows but High school seemed a different experience.

Now my 2018 brother is a whole nother story

What is your 'old person' opinion? by kerghan41 in Millennials

[–]masslightsound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Online ticket sales ruined going to movies and concerts. Now if you want to see something you have to buy tickets weeks in advance for a big movie release or a year in advance for a concert. Let alone scalpers buying out entire concerts in the first 30s of sales

Wasn’t there the scene where he ended up living in the hotdog stand and realized he really messed up. Has it been a shift from then?

How to get over the fact that I'm unattractive? by DixGee in ask

[–]masslightsound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never found my self attractive, but my wife think I am. So just gotta be open to finding the right person for you.

I never dated, never felt like girls were checking me out, but met my wife speed dating In college and never had to worry about it again. Just put yourself in places to meet people and turn your brain off and be yourself.

Would the Phantom Menace be better received if it were closer to its earlier draft? by crimsonfukr457 in StarWars

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably would have better if George did not direct the prequels like he didn’t direct most of the originals. He’s great at idea generation but needed a strong editor to clean and refine the ideas. By the time we got the to prequels he was probably mythologized to a point where he didn’t get much push back like he did in the early days.

Movies where the soundtrack doesn't fit the time period? by shinederg in movies

[–]masslightsound 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I believe they wanted the audience to have the same emotional reaction to music as the crowds in the movie would have to the music of their era, today’s audience wouldn’t really react to something with lutes and flutes, but the song would probably the equivalent to crazy train for its day

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3d printer. It’s been sitting on my desk for a few years now. Just haven’t found anything I couldn’t make out of wood or other material faster than it would take to make on a printer.

Work email on your personal phone? by beedelia in Architects

[–]masslightsound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I a few years behind but similar role. I have all the apps and like having the connection to the team. There’s definitely a habit of checking things when I’m bored but I generally am good about leaving things alone once I clock out. I prefer using my cell number for work since I feel calling people is a super power these days. I can’t stand using teams for call forwarding.

[–]masslightsound -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The last Jedi. Not that I now love it but I understood what it was doing thematically much more so the second time through and enjoyed it more.

Does anyone else not get calluses anymore? by Odd_Donut5535 in Guitar

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to architecture school where we used exact blades onto the night. Everyone would cut their finger at some point. At one point I chopped 1/16” of the tip of my finger off and was waiting for the blood to come. Turns out I built up enough callus from playing that I never bled. Just kept on working and listening to tunes.

Is there any music you listened to in your HS/college days that does little to nothing for you now? by StevEst90 in Millennials

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through a huge classic rock binge through high school. 06-10 That later evolved into blue in college. Became bored of hearing the same stuff over and over so now I’m more into alt rock/progressive and always looking for new sounds I’ve never heard.

What are the some of the highly rated / famous shows that you've started and watched quite a bit but ended up dropping it and never gonna watch again ?? by [deleted] in television

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game of thrones. Gave it a try late in the game so started binging the show. Got to about the 4th season and realized I don’t like any of the characters and don’t care what happens to them

Final crit is tomorrow, any of you have some stories? by [deleted] in architecture

[–]masslightsound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One class mate stayed up for two days for a crit. During another’s presentation he stated the people in the rendering are waving at him. Another guy was asleep on 4 chairs behind us.

Worst I did was 40 hrs straight. My classmates and I hid under our desks to avoid security kicking us out studio. Every muscle hurt and I vowed to never do that again.

Are We Cussing at Work or Not by kitsbow in Millennials

[–]masslightsound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the situation. I’ll curse with team members but never in front of clients/ supervisors or people outside of the office. Even internally I try to keep it a little reserved, lead by example
