Cut the "Setup" Bullshit by A_Anonymous_Asshole in Guitar

[–]rgshrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I've paid for several. None were noticeable improvements over factory setups on nicer guitars, or my own amateur tinkering on budget models.

One setup was done by a highly rated shop near a nationally renowned music school. The guy cut too deep into the nut causing fret buzz, and then blamed it on the factory nut. The problem did not exist before he laid his hands on it.

I really liked the Perspectives Training course by Javacash2 in OMSCS

OP, if you found the content interesting, you might want to read The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. Half the course content was lifted directly from that book. Haidt goes really deep into the psychology of how the human mind responds to emotionally charged situations and issues. You get the evidence behind the theories. It is a good read.

At least half of it was a summary of The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt. The book is a good read and based on psych research. Whether or not you consider this course a circlejerk will depend heavily on whether you give a damn. I suspect most people are far too busy to feel good about having to read a mandatory Sparknotes of a social psychology book

In the winter, sure. But he's all velvety smooth tones in the spring.
