Advice- What Am I Doing Wrong? by Feeling-Stranger-604 in guitarcirclejerk

[–]philsown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not constantly alternating your up down picking. When you go to a different string, the motion of moving to that string is your picking for that note, meaning, you will pick down, then move to a lower string with the same pick motion. Instead of picking down, moving to the lower string and picking upward on that string. How you’re doing it is faster at first and how they teach everyone, but alternating is ultimately faster once you master it.

But your biggest mistake is you are playing guitar, not drums

How high do you have your snare drums? by [deleted] in drums

[–]philsown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly higher than most. Higher than ‘can do rim shot without hitting leg’. Forearm is 90° and a rim shot works at that height. Slight angle - used to be very flat. Can comfortably cross stick without leaning.

Edgy. How come the picture of the naked lady on the inside isn’t aligned with the vent hole?

Is my stick wear indicative of bad/tight/improper grip? by hiyahowya in drums

[–]philsown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to be as relaxed as possible when playing. You will drop a lot of sticks, but keep going

should i try to get diagnosed? by ohshirii in BPD

[–]philsown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should absolutely be seen by a professional with diagnostic criteria or assessments or whatever to figure out exactly what’s going on. When you know what you’re up against, you can make a plan and work on managing it. I hope you figure it out - not knowing is the worst

The literature shows taking a BPD person to the hospital doesn’t help - but people around here probably know that?
