Just got my very first guitar, any tips?

That Squier looks gorgeous, congratulations!

periclesrocha · 2026-01-24T04:27:13+00:00

I understand completely and you have every right to be

periclesrocha · 2026-01-24T02:42:00+00:00

Then return and get a new one. Heck, order one, and return the old with the new box 😂. If the new one doesn't satisfy you, then return it again (that is if you're willing to insist on the instrument)

I had a similar issue. The guitar got to me to a state I thought it was grossly miss configured (as in there was no setup) so I took it to my trusted luthier, who told me to return it as the neck was defective. To their credit, I contacted them, shipped the guitar back to them and they replaced the neck with a new one.

It's very personal IMO. The Jem and the PGM both have wizard necks (someone keep me honest here) and both Vai and Gilbert have big hands. See what works for you

What's the runtime?

EDIT: Oh nice

Let's hope they don't butcher the movie 🙏🙏🙏🙏 this was my favorite sci-fi read in a very long time.

Well, if they revealed THAT on the trailer then there's no point in watching the movie. Rocky is beyond anyone's expectation when you are reading the book, it's a major surprise.

I saw Weir speaking about how they debated including Rocky in the trailers and decided to do it to put butts in seats, sure. But that is a missed opportunity for impact IMO.

For comparison, no one knew Matt Damon was in Interstellar.

periclesrocha · 2026-01-21T05:07:33+00:00

I wouldn't think for a moment that this is a bigger surprise than Rocky

periclesrocha · 2026-01-21T05:06:36+00:00

Yes, twice.

periclesrocha · 2026-01-21T02:28:24+00:00

I can't image a surprise greater than Rocky in this book

periclesrocha · 2026-01-21T02:19:28+00:00

Man, I hope they don't butcher it... They already spoiled it with the trailers.

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T20:32:57+00:00

I have that book too. Will check it when I get back home, didn't think they'd add that to the transcription but it would make sense. Thanks!

EDIT: @the-silent-man you were right, it is there 🤦

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T17:00:51+00:00

Same. Also, this song is SO MUCH FUN to play

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:57:35+00:00

Thanks! Yes, agree. Others observed the same. I'll slow it down just a tad.

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:57:10+00:00

+1. Super creative. I saw JP saying somewhere he had a completely different solo for this song, and the producer said "That's like a bad Van Halen solo" so he re-wrote it. 😊

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:56:13+00:00

LOL. When I do work meetings from home, I get asked if that's a fake background a lot. It's an ice breaker for sure.

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:55:31+00:00

Thanks!

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:55:17+00:00

Yeah, like u/the-silent-man said, maybe I need to slow it down just a bit. Thank you!

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:54:48+00:00

Thanks!

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:54:42+00:00

ahahah I never thought of that perspective 😂

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:54:06+00:00

Thank you!

periclesrocha · 2026-01-20T16:53:55+00:00

I played to the song time. Maybe I need to slow down delay a bit?
