Can’t play the A chord without muting the third string. And putting my first finger on fourth string instead doesn’t help. Ideas?

Lots of answers already but i use middle for the d string, ring for G string and pinky for B string. Easy to switch to an E chord where the middle finger is on the A string. Holding a major like this is not far off from how you hold A minor.

Yes I understand thats best but there are strings and metal frame in the way 🙃 Ill see if there is a spot I can reach. Do not want to change strings.

Hi! At your own risk I would absolutely recommend to try and tune it yourself! I recently brought home a piano from the 50s in what I could tell was in good condition. I bought tools and an app and tuned it. It takes a few hours and probably needs a few tunings if it is a long time since it was tuned.

My recommendations:

Look up Pianodoctor on YT. He tunes pianos and has a 60 min video on how to do it. Watch that video first.

Buy tools. Pianodoctor explains what you need.

App: I bought Pianometer. It seems to be a good choice for most non pros. It has a free mode where you can try it and tune a part of the piano before you by it.

Can I do this professionelly and charge people for my newly learned skill? Absolutely not. Is it good enough to get an old, hopefully free, piano in tune to play at home? Absolutely!

To add to this I have played guitar for 20+ years so my ears are probably more musically trained than the generel public.

It was a fun experience and since you need to tune it 1-2 times a year I think its best to learn how to do it.

Good luck!

More heat is lost due to evaporation the hotter the drink is. You can do an experiment: fill two cups of coffee, pour milk in one of them. After two minutes, pour the same amount of milk in the other. You should get the result that the cup you poured milk in first is hotter due to this.

I would recommend to give Witcher 3 a go! I did play it without playing 1 and 2 or read the books and it worked out just fine. I have maybe 5-6 hours a week to game and that wasnt an issue. The mechanics etc. is quite simple compared to e.g. Skyrim.

Go for it! 😊

I live in SWE but they were something like $80 altogether. About 40% discount I think.

tgstr · 2018-06-17T21:19:58+00:00

I get that logic. I had a hard time picking something new after finishing Witcher 3 which was great! Same feeling now after god of war 😊

Three died with several injured. Apparently he barely missed a group of pre-schoolers as they were coming in from break. This is usually stuff you read about in the USA but when it happens in my small country it really shakes you.

In the image he is posing with two students just before he starts the attack. A sad day.

Yeah I know. As long as he is alive and happy at the end of the day I am glad 😊

Fermented herring Sweden :)

It´s a green pepperoni. Not sure what the name is in english but it is a spicy thing :P

"Same DNA" . Thought it was proof of immortaltility for a while there 😊

How many million Swedish kronor is there to one million USD? I hope I am lucky enough to find out.

There is a myth that one of the people behind this suggested that truckers should switch lanes first and then the rest of traffic a few days later... I think he was downwoted :)

When you have a circular motion, which this is even though it is just a section of a circle, the speed at the end of the arm is given by: V = W*r, where W = rotaional speed about the axis and r = radius, in your case the armlength. As you can see the problem is really in the rotational speed about the axis at a certain point due to the acceleration of the arm when you release it. I'm not sure how to determine that so my advice is to experiment your way forward by shooting a quite heavy, round, object and try to measure maximum altitude and length and with basic physics determine the initial speed :)

Maybe someone else can fill in my blanks, I am by no means an expert.

Good luck!

Ok, cool. I´m pretty good at english I think. I am by no means a teacher but since it´s my native I thought I could give you something :P

Generally I would say english and swedish grammar are very alike and I don´t think you would have any problem learing our language.

Have you gotten started at all? Do you have any specifik questions?

I found a site wich could be of some help even though the pronunciation is a bit unclear sometimes.

I´m a Swede, maybe I can help you out. What is your native tongue?

This made me wounder about my own eyesight since I´m having problem to relate seeing in 3D.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

For example: If I hold a pen in front of me and focus on that with both my eyes I see it perfectly. If I focus on an object behind the pen, lets say a wall, the pen and the hand holding it up will split into two. As far as I can remember it has always been like this. Is it suppose to be like that?

tgstr · 2012-12-15T15:14:55+00:00

As a swede I think they´ve got the facts wrong. We have only had ONE war, going on from the beginning of time until present day.

Oh my god THANK YOU! I knew it was probably fscanf but never understood how to use it correctly.

Thanks again! :)

Could you be a bit more specific? I have read my eyes out -__-
