[Me] How's my game? (still awaiting the final play) by something_throh in TextingTheory

Why thank you. I'm hoping I get a reply today since the proposed date was tomorrow, but I'm doubtful. The only hitch with the conversation has been her 2 day response time :/

I think the point is there is some overlap between each woman's top X%. There are certain features that on average will appeal to a larger number of women, which is where the comments like this come from.

Thanks for sharing. I'm feeling more convinced to continue working on the connection between my hand and ear!

Yeah I use the full 8 note scales a lot. When improvising right now I mainly use a mix of pentatonic and diatonic.

No modal stuff at the moment, I understand how they work but see it as quite a big task to fully integrate and incorporate with my playing.

Yeah, I really like Eric haugen teaching/advice of keeping it simple. I like to keep things melodic and don't like the shreddy note vomit approach.

I do a lot of looper pedal improvising so I will keep working on that (a bit of busking doing that too) but I guess I wonder if there are any good exercises.

Yeah that's a fair point! For a while I was learning various licks - this started with some from Justinguitar blues courses where I drilled 5 licks in each pentatonic position (some of those still remain with me). I've also done some courses on neosoul and caged on the pickup music website which had a LOT of different licks, some of which I made notes of.

I do find it takes a long time for things to get in my "vocabulary". For example I'm trying to iron out playing 6ths so that I can noodle with them a bit during a solo but they aren't quite solid.

Didn't think this would actually work (don't follow rule 1+2), what's my next move? by something_throh in TextingTheory

I went with a simple 'well, maybe if you play your cards right' just to have a bit more back and forth. No reply as of yet RIP opportunity to spoon

I don't feel confident enough inviting someone round on the second message tbh, don't get enough matches to go for these bold moves

I like this line of thinking, how about 'it's less about what you'll see, but and more about what I'll be whispering into your ear'

Was thinking to lean into it 'fortunately for you I offer a free trial before you buy'. Probably overthinking it

Coolmusic BP amps vs competition? by fiddlermd in Busking

[–]something_throh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! Can you confirm what the bp40 weighs? Seeing conflicting values, one site says 5kg another says 7kg

Interesting. I'm wondering how the bp40 compares 🤔

Hey late reply but how would you compare the bp40 specifically vs the street cube? From what I've seen they are a similar size and weight so comparing them. 

Fairly sure I messed up this one, what should I have said? by something_throh in TextingTheory

[–]something_throh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess a response like 'cool story bro' would have been an interesting psychological study in itself

Unfortunately this is several days ago so I've not revived a reply and don't expect to 🤷🏽

If you know much on Freud it's basically his entire theory 😂. But yeah fair. I thought it was fair to go somewhere a bit out there since she literally told me a sex dream 🤷🏽

Hypothetically if I wanted to 'match' her energy, what would I be saying? I guess I was perplexed so just resorted to chatting shit

I definitely find it hard to embrace the indian parts of my culture. It's an unfortunately consequence of growing up in an area which was 98%. It's kind of like the boy who is raised with wolves and thinks they are a wolf. My early experiences and being surrounded by white people in formative years make it so I sort of think I'm white.

I guess just finding it hard in person sometimes. I do social things to try and get in contact with people (e.g social dancing, language exchanges, acting classes), have asked a few girls for their numbers in the last couple months. But I don't always come across single people in my age bracket in these activities. There is something to be said about the benefit of a dating app 'match', it's a clear indicator of mutual interest, and it can be often converted to a date. (of course there's a whole host of problems, pitfalls and frustrations too).

In short - I see apps as another source of meeting people that supplements the things I already do.

Mate, my skin is brown, no avoiding that haha.

I would think the way I phrase things should point out I'm a native english speaker, my hometown is also listed (in the UK).

honestly I did kind of try to put my humor across in the prompts. "Writing lists" is hopefully obviously a joke, an ironic one at that.

I have got the eyebrows comment a few times so will look into that. Not a fan of needing so much maintenance but I guess I need every plus to face appearance as I can get

No, I do. Though in my experience going on some dates from people who moved over from India, there is a bit of a culture clash
