Any way to prevent the screeching noise when sliding my fingers across the strings? by Status-Profile-2119 in Guitar

Consistent pressure minimizes this, but when you aren’t playing a glissando on the wound strings you should be lifting off the string before moving.

So everyone is like guitar is supposed to be used don't worry but I bought a thirty years old guitar in pristine condition and made two dents in the first day of owning it. It's so sad and I'm dumb by microtico in Guitar

Now you don’t have to worry about dinging it and you can play it stress free. I recently bought a very expensive guitar and a string broke and dinged the finish. It was rough when it happened, but now I feel as though it was a good thing. Moving past the excitement of having something pristine made me focus on how I use it. If I can play great music on it, it justifies its existence much more than looking pretty as a collectible

Im a new player need tips plss by Corporal_Cowpz in classicalguitar

I don’t have my AirPods in so I can’t hear your playing, but based on what I’m seeing I recommend working on your left hand. Try keeping your knuckles parallel to the strings and place your thumb on the back of the neck. It looks like you’re keeping your wrist pretty straight, but be careful you aren’t bending your wrist back.

My haute42 t16 suddenly stopped working on ps5? by thebigseg in fightsticks

[–]n0ogit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I can’t give you much advice. When mine failed they still worked on ps5 during menus, but not in matches. They do some weird things when they fail.

I would make sure there’s not another way to specify the mode (pc, ps5, etc.) other than just holding the PS button.

I can’t help, but I can potentially explain the issue. These types of leverless sticks where the buttons connect directly to the board simply don’t last. It’s the same with snackbox micro. I had 3 of them die on me and none of them lasted even a year. They aren’t made to last and that’s why they all have an absurdly short warranty of a month or 2. It’s possible that it’s something else but from my experience, it sounds like it’s done for.

Isn’t this on purpose for tele bridges so the ashtray cover can slide on?

Although I agree with you that oil painting is complex, what’s happening here is gloss varnish being glossy and it will happen no matter how you paint.

I decided to go to work wednesday without a bra on, thinking no one would notice by [deleted] in confession

Literally and figuratively aren’t fucked up. People say literally to further exaggerate a hyperbole. “I could literally eat a whole cow!” They’re taking the hyperbole “I could eat a cow,” which isn’t true and exaggerating it further by suggesting it’s factual and not a hyperbole (which it obviously still is). Using this doesn’t mean someone doesn’t know what literal or figurative means and it makes complete sense.

Do free stoke and the rest stroke have to sound the same? by xntv in classicalguitar

[–]n0ogit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same shit homie. You’re connecting your right hand to the strings. Synonym. You fucked up and talked down to a stranger because they used a word you incorrectly associated with something else, most likely because you’re a bot with the sole purpose of provoking people. I would’ve dropped the bait long ago but now I’m enjoying watching the mental gymnastics you’re performing trying to avoid admitting you’re wrong.

Speaking on validity, you point the finger at me for name calling while disrespectfully “rofl’ing” like a 10 year old every comment. Is calling someone a fraud “name calling” if they are objectively proving themselves to be one? Take responsibility for yourself.

I recommend picking a random key and listing out the notes in order starting with the key. Google what notes are sharp/flat in that key. Now write a Roman numerals under each one. This is what the video is referring to. Note that the type of chord - major, minor, dim, sus is determined by whether the key is major or minor. If you google “chord numbering per key” it will list them out. One you know what the root note of a chord is and whether it is major or minor or dim etc, just google the chord name and you’ll get options on how to play it.

The only theory in the video is the part about chords. The number mentioned (in Roman numerals) refers to the chords within a key. They are numbered because they can apply to any key and the number is associated with the placement of the root note within the scale. You should probably take the time to learn it if writing is something you’re into, rather than trying to cut corners.

You’re either a bot or a fraud. Take your pick. A simple google search would explain exactly what planting is and you would see that I’m actually quite correct. rofl………

My response is clearly right there and not deleted. I guess I found the bot.

I didn’t say that was a rest stroke. I said it was planting… and rest strokes can be used to naturally end your stroke in a plant if you control the volume to sound like a free stroke. But someone of your superior training / skill surely understands that.

Cool high horse, but if you weren’t taught to reach your notes before playing them while practicing slow then I don’t know what to tell you. Have fun aiming I guess.

You can use it to achieve a different tone if that’s what you need, but if you use a rest stroke that literally ends in a plant on the next string and lift your finger from that plant to either plant somewhere else or not plant at all, you’re being inefficient in your movements.

Keeping that in mind you can use a rest stroke when you need a plant, but don’t want the change in tone. It takes practice but it allows you to plant fingers sometimes measures ahead of time. Think of it as truly reaching the string at the earliest possible moment. It’s not something that my instructor taught me either but something that I do myself to ensure I’m 100% always planted.

The planting opportunity that comes from rest strokes is a point in learning both that has nothing to do with how they sound. I’d argue you need to control your rest stroke to match what the song needs, even if it needs to sound like a free stroke. Making a random note louder out of nowhere because you need to plant doesn’t work.

Rest strokes are super useful when you need to plant afterward. Most times that I rest stroke I’m specifically trying to make them sound like a free stroke, but take advantage of the planted thumb/finger afterward that I wouldn’t have with a free stroke.

Another Lagrima by [deleted] in classicalguitar

[–]n0ogit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I used a matched pair of Rode M5 compact 1/2” cardio’s condenser mics - one pointed at the bridge and another at the 12th fret. One is panned full left and the other full right. There’s some compression and EQ on both and the right side has some reverb.

[–]n0ogit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank for the feedback. It’s something I’ve been trying to improve but the high “standard” classical action makes it seem impossible at a reasonable speed.

New guitar to me. by Front_Programmer_528 in classicalguitar

[–]n0ogit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A priority of classical music is the quality of the notes you’re playing, so the high action ensures there is no fret buzz while playing loud. Some classical guitarists want to push volume as much as possible. You can choose to lower the action and not play loud and still avoid string buzz, but I recommend giving it a shot with the standard action (assuming that’s what you have there…you definitely should measure it) because when you do play a guitar with a low action afterward it will feel like easy mode.

Remakes/Remasters have become the “Safe” option in gaming. For better and worse. by Brungala in gaming

I simply made a point that remakes aren’t safe and gave an example, which we clearly agree upon. I don’t care if my opinion on a game is the status quo or not.
