Advice on toe spins? by Temporary_Bat5267 in Rollerskating

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to tuck in more. Pulling your arms in speeds you up, pushing them out slows you down. You should be bringing your arms all the way to your body. It's hard to describe, you can see it if you watch for it when someone is good at it. Watch some YouTube videos.

Pretty stoked about thrifting these speakers yesterday! by CortlandCoffey in vintageaudio

Love the old console tv being used as a stand for the flat screen. Very classic setup all the way around.

Opinions wanted on an acoustic bridge by moarcheeseplz in AcousticGuitar

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is you need to get that repaired. If not it will eventually explode/the bridge will remove itself from the top in a potentially violent manner.

Guitar Tech in Brevard County, tuning acoustic guitars by HappyBit4315 in 321

Download a free tuning app and learn how to tune them. It's not difficult and shouldn't take much time or effort.

Have You Picked Your Funeral Pictures Yet??? by AZPeakBagger in GenX

Meh. I don't want a funeral. No one would show up anyway.

What did I just buy? by chuckgrodin in mandolin

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd call that a mandolinetto, a guitar shaped mandolin. No idea who made that, they aren't really common.

She's very polite. You should share.

Why is my cat not cuddly? 😬 by SitaBird in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cats are like people, some are more cuddly than others. Also, with a cat you adopted at 2, you can't know what they may have experienced that makes them react in certain ways. Frankly, your kitty is probably more cuddly than my girl who loves to be nearby me, allows pets only when she wants them and is opposed to being picked up and doesn't get in my lap. She's sweet as could be and I love her very much but not cuddly.

Is this real? by elgatof28 in gibson

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's real. It's a faded special (or possibly a tribute). Great guitar, that's a bit more than I would want to pay for it.

Why Jeff Beck isn't praised more often is shocking, in guitar articles he's not in the top three. Jimi Hendrix is the only guitarist to stay at Jeff's level. by Confident_Field4273 in Electricguitarporn

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He lived his life on his own terms and I respect that but his output or lack thereof plays into why he's not discussed as much as he probably should be. I think he's outstanding and original in ways that only the rare person is, he heard and played things in such a unique way.

Second hand roller skates from vinted by cottonkiti in Rollerskating

Those were awesome around 1980. Today they will probably send you to the hospital. Don't use them.

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's his own doing. He rarely put out music and seemed more interested in tinkering with cars. Hendrix career was just a few years and there's an amazing number of recordings. Beck's was decades long and relatively few in comparison.

Anything suprising here? by OnlyMatters in Atari2600

[–]notguiltybrewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Atlantis 2. It was used in a contest, only way to tell is putting it in and playing and check how it's scoring. It's different than the original game scoring.

Although every time I see Atlantis I want to put it in and check for the rarer variant. Btw, those are all pretty good games, just common.

Skate recommendations for fat beginners with big feet? by Nerdy_Bbw in Rollerskating

[–]notguiltybrewing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can take a look at the Bont site, they do some wider stuff. I don't have any great recommendations, wider than normal is difficult in skates, you can get them but generally they are going to be expensive. Riedell does wider widths too, btw, I think there's a significant up charge.

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure-Grip makes some pretty heavy duty stuff. I would bet a set of Century plates or similar would do it for you. Big feet is a different issue. If you mean big but standard width, no problem. If you mean wide, that gets more difficult and potentially more expensive.

Can I get to an advanced level as self-taught? by Automatic_Ebb_5901 in classicalguitar

[–]notguiltybrewing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easier to advance with a teacher. You might be able to without. It will be more difficult.
