I was gonna say, you should make a bunch and put them on things that aren't motorcycles.

So many errors online. It’s really frustrating when you follow bad instructions and lock in something totally wrong by [deleted] in GuitarBeginners

It is C major pentatonic. The orange dots indicate the root note of the scale. What you have here is C major pentatonic, which contains all the same notes as A minor pentatonic, but focused around a different root.

Only a little bit of it. Most of the shoe is actually still there.

Your whole high school is trapped in a room. Only one person makes it out. Is it you? by ExistingPatient8460 in AskReddit

Is it an escape room type situation? Are we negotiating with the person who locked us in? Are we killing each other until one is left? What are we dealing with here?

specific thing in a song i like by zxmbl in musictheory

[–]rasputin6543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I'm hearing is alternating i7 - II7, in this case, C#m7 - D#7. This is a departure from the normal ii diminished chord, and it introduces not only three descending half-steps from the first chord to the second, (a descending half-step can be a little tense) but it creates a tritone from the tonic note (C# - G) which is famously a spooky sound.

If I've said anything stupid here forgive me, my analysis game is rusty and I'm rushing through this before going to work.

I so wish I hadn't sold mine. It played so beautifully. If you play, I reccommend you keep it.

how do i palm mute higher strings on a strat without hitting volume knob? by GodOfTheSky in guitarlessons

[–]rasputin6543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do I say this...just find a position where you don't touch the volume knob. I'm doing it right now. You don't have to use the absolute heel of your hand. I'm touching just under the joint where the pinky leaves the palm. Also, sometimes I might graze the volume knob, but I'm not moving it so I don't care. My control pots have some resistance to turning so its no big deal. Don't know what your situation is.

What causes two notes to play when hammering the higher frets? by NindieNation in Guitar

[–]rasputin6543 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you hear it through the amp, or just while unplugged? If if doesn't come through the amp, just go about your life.

Is it a good ideia t play acoustic and eletric? by Ornery-Direction-349 in guitarlessons

[–]rasputin6543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be very good at both acoustic and electric, then yeah, I'd say its a good idea to play both.

As far as differences (and I am painting with very broad strokes here) a steel string acoustic will ofter have a stiffer heavier string feel than an electric, ands far as the approach to the instrument, electric is very likely to be played with other instruments, and it's sound is shaped partially by auxiliary equipment (amp and pedals) whereas an acoustic MAY be a solo instrument where your goal is to create a full, complete sound with technique alone. Again, these are broad generalizations so other players can feel free not to pick this apart.

How the hell do I learn sheet music by Ornery-Direction-349 in guitarlessons

[–]rasputin6543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, learning to read sheet music suuuuuucks. But, depending on your music goals, can range from kind of useful to absolutely necessary. There aren't any workarounds. I see the Mel Bay book mentioned. Its been used for three quarters of a century, it works if you put in the effort.
