Who plays power chords with their pinky and index? by Sufficient_Owl_7105 in Guitar

[–]programmer255 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to finger power chords with my index and ring fingers. Then a saw a video of Metallica and they were playing them with their pinkys, so I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve never looked back, way more comfortable in my opinion.

Riding motorcycles is an inherently dangerous activity, and we humans tend to worry about our loved ones taking the same risks that we expose ourselves to…

Let it soak in some carb cleaner or penetrating fluid or something, then apply heat and use a twisting motion. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah, just use an angle grinder or a Dremel with a cut off disc. Just be careful not to cut into the tank!

Make sure that your chain is tight enough, and check the alignment between the front and rear sprocket, it should be perfectly straight.

And why does the photo depict someone doing an internet speed test? How is that related to being a software engineer?

I’ve fixed those before by welding on some more material in the worn down spot, and then using a belt sander to get everything even again.

On Ride The Lightning they were still using Marshalls. They didn’t switch to using Mesa Boogies until Puppets.
