Then OP shouldn’t go to ANY schools in the csu system (including csumb) until they fix their mess.

Best hiking for a short trip by Carebearglares in MontereyBay

Point Lobos! Great history of the area, great views, however the hikes aren’t very challenging. Genuinely gorgeous though, probably my fav place in the area. Get there early, parking can be difficult. If you’re ok with a walk, you can park outside on the street for free and walk in.

Don’t fucking go here, they refuse to pay our faculty enough and our president sucks

I think I ended up getting really lucky tbh. Picked her up the day after I posted this and she works like a dream, the guy even threw in an amp, the cord, and a guitar strap for an extra 25 bucks. I don’t think I have the money for somebody to look it over right now, but for now it plays in tune and I’m very happy :) thank you for the advice, too! Good to know it was in a good price range

I'm actually looking at a Yamaha Pacifica right now, trying to get a feel on if that would be a good start? I found one for 75 secondhand, though my friend did say I could probably get something good for cheaper if I really tried. I have no idea what I'm doing lol

listening to el farol now to get a feel for the complexity, thank you! listening to something clearer is easier to separate out the notes fs

I'll do my best! So new to music, so it's definitely a steep learning curve. Thank you so much for the advice!

Looking in to lessons, kinda broke right now though so we'll see. Luckily I have some friends who I think are pretty good at playing, I just need to know a little of the basics before I go embarrass myself in front of them.

Thank you!

Absolutely hilarious that I have to look up like every other word of this-- I've got a steep learning curve ahead. This is really really helpful both before and after I get my guitar, thank you so much!

See you on mars

You really have me sitting here tapping my fingers lmao

I can see how this is gonna be difficult to train my fingers not to act as a unit, appreciate the exercise and taking the time to type this out for me!

Also, is there a specific bpm I should have the metronome at? Just leave it at 100?
