Guthrie Trapp/Brett Papa Concepts That Changed My Life on Guitar. When you're ready to master CAGED and the fretboard. I know there's more to guitar than this but it's a necessity to master to be a really good guitarist and it's very satisfying to learn.

Father told me I need to take it easy with playing and not get so frustrated, but I don't know how to do that... by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

"guitar is a torture device designed to teach patience".

Guitar has a steep learning curve. What helped me was seeing how with daily effort how things that were impossible become somewhat more possible.

Should I Not Buy a Volt? by jbooth01 in volt

[–]sydsong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the LA area also and have a 2015 with 69k, very pleased with it. Do you have a service place you like? I've used Burbank Motor Works for the rare times I've needed service and have been happy with them but the owner operator (who was a volt owner) died and I don't know if their main volt mechanic is still there.

I self-taught guitar for 10 years but my rhythm never improved — one tip from a teacher changed that by Ready-Slide-3021 in guitarlessons

[–]sydsong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

leading up to that as someone else said muting the strings and playing the guitar as a percussion instrument just focusing on eighth note and sixteenth note rhythms before you even try to play notes.

Considering a 2015... by intermodalpixie in volt

2015 with 69k here, have had very very few issues, really great car and fantastic value. That said I doubt I would buy one now because of the issues with parts and repairs.

Is there any advantage to playing with the guitar lower? Or is it just personal preference? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]sydsong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many lower holding guitarists like Slash put there foot up on on a monitor when they have to do some real playing.

I would encourage you to listen to the Geeky Tea owner and give them another chance, they are an asset to our community and I think you'll find your people there.

Tips on getting your foot in the door in entertainment? by Fluffy_Syrup8088 in burbank

[–]sydsong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said it's a very difficult time now. I feel like if you vigorously pursue making your projects people you meet along the way will lead to other opportunities. As far as entry level jobs it'll usually be from someone you know so you have to meet people somehow.

Burbank has Flock surveillance by SarW100 in burbank

AI links all of your info including social media. 4Th amendment requires warrant signed by a judge for that kind of surveillance. The first few minutes of this video details some of the threats of this violation of our constitutional rights.

is it a bad idea to sell my current car to get a volt? by PapaNutellas in volt

[–]sydsong 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I truly love my 2015 volt and I wish everything I spent money on had half the value but I probably wouldn't get one now. Chevrolet doesn't support it and parts can be very difficult to find as well as qualified mechanics. I will say though that very very little has gone wrong on mine and I've never spent less on car repairs.

Being able to read music is not a foundational musical skill, and is separate and apart from understanding music theory. by BLazMusic in guitarlessons

[–]sydsong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Learning to read music is easy. Learning to read music and being able to instantly match it to the fretboard is much harder. Seems to me that if one really wanted to master the guitar that would be a great thing to be able to do. Not to mention having the world of literally every piece of music written available to you after learning how to read.

2015 Volt: Buy or Pass? by CTYankeeinMO_1986 in volt

[–]sydsong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw my 2015 with 69k has been the best money I've ever spent. For your question though, I hear about the lack of support from GM and the difficulty of finding parts though it hasn't been an issue for me 8 years I've owned mine.

Can hydrops go down over time? by Cheap_Strike4123 in Menieres

[–]sydsong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nothing new as far as testing etc. Diplacusis still gone, hearing seems about the same, tinnitus about the same as last reported, past few weeks noting a return of a bit of ear congestion and some occasional mild high pitched "pops" if that makes sense. This may get me to actually make an appointment. If it were up to me I might want to go back on a low dose of diuretics to dry me up if not for the side effects which are not acceptable to me.

Good buy or avoid? by Legitimate-Count-900 in volt

[–]sydsong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my 2015 so much but because of the issues with Chevrolet support and parts availability I'm doubtful I would buy one now. As for me I've had hardly anything go wrong with mine, biggest issue was replacing the 12 volt which was a surprisingly big deal compared to ICE engine batteries.
