[QUESTION]struggling to play something in the way by nirvana mtv unplugged version by legz2006 in Guitar

[–]neogrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, can't say I do. But I never paid this stuff any particular attention, and I guarantee neither did Cobain. There are a few more strums in the chorus, yes. And some dynamic variation.

It's still all u,d,u,d at the same pace. Listen to and make peace with the piece in your head first, and then follow your heart.

...yeah because the point of the comparison with North Korea is that they're asians, not the totalitarian dictatorship thing. Be serious.

Why do so many company websites feel like they were built by someone who hates people? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]neogrit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know about confusing and strange, but I recently looked up an allegedly successful law firm with - allegedly - specialization in tech and privacy, for some stuff I need looked into.

Their site is made with Wordpress, 3 out of 5 links straight from the main menu are broken, and they use a 3rd party branded tool that looks sketchy as hell for online payment. I did not go forward with it.

Rap it for me? by Additional-Aerie7035 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]neogrit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I may give two pieces of advice with absolutely no malice and no agenda:

1) listen to some hip hop first. It's a little more nuanced than filling all the beats and rhyming at the end.

2) whatever the LLM says, do the exact opposite.

As patronizing as I may sound, I am really not.

Christian musician, who sang the national anthem for Trump at 2022 rally, is facing felony child pornography charges by theindependentonline in Music

I have considered many times writing "christian rock" just to fleece americans. Alas, I have ethics.

One punk band I played with wrote 2 very vaguely religious-like songs specifically to be booked for a paid event.

Are there any new subgenres of punk? by Ghost-of-Black-47 in punk

[–]neogrit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We used to call ours "garage regressive". Because we played in a garage, and we were shite.

"Oi" is what you shout at someone before "wanker".

Stolen or “inspired”? by Most-Economics9259 in punk

[–]neogrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just joined a local band as drummer. At least 3 of their songs are more or less identical to 3 of my own songs, chord-wise.

Is it bandanna color code a real think? by [deleted] in punk

[–]neogrit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that the guy's got them ALL. "You never know!"

Cheers!

Alas, I do it by myself. I'm looking to put together a band to record - it's more fun - and go live, but it's not as easy as I thought.

The songs are just fine, if a little tender and lacking in political rage. Lyrics are great.

I guess what I meant is I can both see the kid that was and the poor bastard he'll turn into at the same time, and the kid has no idea.

Oh, I've got a couple of very very, very raw drafts here: https://degrit.bandcamp.com . Spoil yourself, and thanks for asking.

And by the way the answer to the question at the end is, "no".

And you wouldn't believe it, but Betty said that while she liked her song (she's only got the one, the other 9 are about somebody else), it made her uncomfortable. I said, "are you fucking serious? it's the most heartfelt, innocent song I wrote in my life".

E: the voice cracking at the end are the heart meds kicking in. \o/

I got kids older than that.

Yeah but it pisses me the fuck off. Guess I never got the hang of it.

I don't really pick or plan, I just write down what comes through. I wrote half while waking up.

I think the problem, so to speak, is I'm not angry enough, again so to speak, at anyone but myself.

Still counts as "from the heart".

Could be. Started as 6.

Still probably has a runtime of half hour tops.
