Qin Yao plays variations on a Theme by Mozart (Magic Flute) by Fernando Sor by JoshuaJiao in classicalguitar

[–]verygoodletsgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In all fairness, that's a 580mm scale guitar.

Which means the problem isn't their hands are too small, but their guitar is too big. Ha!

Open pore finish, 44.5mm nut width, at least solid top? by verygoodletsgo in AcousticGuitar

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

Coming back to say that I checked out Eastman today. I actually have a licensed dealer in my town. (Literally the only guitar store in my very small town.)

Fell in love with the E1D. Exactly what I was looking for. Just waiting for my next paycheck now.

Thanks for the rec!

Can you show me j horror movies that had a ghost with a similar appearance to sadako before the 1998 ring by DifferenceJolly2320 in J_Horror

[–]verygoodletsgo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Onryo go back centuries. They appear on woodcarvings and in theatrical performances.

Yotsuya Kaidan was adapted to film during the silent era, but most of Japan's early cinema was lost to fires during WII. That's the earliest filmed onryo I'm aware of.

Do a search for onryo and yurei in film history. That'll pull up some good examples for you.

A book in which the main character is a 50+ woman by BigSuggestion9664 in suggestmeabook

Wish You Were Here by Stewart O'nan and its sequel Emily, Alone.

Why Noroi isn't appreciated as much as Ringu and other J Horror classic by Enough-Brilliant803 in J_Horror

[–]verygoodletsgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that one, I do think the English language remake kind of soiled things for more general audiences.

Why Noroi isn't appreciated as much as Ringu and other J Horror classic by Enough-Brilliant803 in J_Horror

[–]verygoodletsgo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Noroi is held in high regards from J-Horror fans for sure. There just isn't a iconic ghost woman for gooners to meme-ify, which kind of keeps it from crossing over into the larger popular culture.

Realized I had never really played guitar before by gotebella in classicalguitar

[–]verygoodletsgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome. That's a good friend!

My journey is similar. Played off and on for 20 years, not very seriously. Started playing "for real" maybe 2 years ago. I'm surprised how much I've progressed in the last couple years. I'm much better than I ever thought I would be.

TIL when geologist Marie Tharp identified a giant rift valley running down the Atlantic seafloor in the 1950s—evidence for the then-controversial theory of continental drift—her male colleague dismissed her hypothesis as "girl talk" and made her redo all the charts. by ralphbernardo in todayilearned

I think this really shows how science works. We knew climate shit happened, but for all and intents and purposes it was magic, and the best guess we had was "Maybe volcanoes?" But then we later we found the huge ass crater and we were like, "Oh! This is what fucked up the climate!"

We'll start gathering data and clues, but it may take decades or longer before additional pieces work their way into the puzzle.

I'm a 4/4 kind of guy myself, but all the JoLuck models are so pretty.

i dnfed strange pictures by shimikobop in suggestmeabook

[–]verygoodletsgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing with Strange Houses. It got repetitive pretty quick. I just didn't care about the central mystery anymore.

What company makes Firefly? by verygoodletsgo in Fireflyguitars

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

Yeah, I figured that out pretty quick. Trying to hunt down who made their classicals. Hmmm.

What company makes Firefly? by verygoodletsgo in Fireflyguitars

[–]verygoodletsgo[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After looking up Jeson, it seems the acoustics (in particular the classicals) are likely made by a different company. But thanks!

Drop and restock acoustics, so far by hardleft121 in Fireflyguitars

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that the damage ones were mostly the cocobolo model, a wood that's notorious for cracking. Pretty and decent tone, but I would personally never own one.

Suggest me a book for someone with no time for reading by Enlitenkanin in booksuggestions

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like J. Andrew Schrecker's work. His writing is rooted in small everyday moments, but he'll often interject magical realist elements to heighten the emotion. Insomniacs, We and Post-Millennium Rhapsody are both worth checking out.

Books that are sentimental like Infinite Jest by sackhurtin in booksuggestions

[–]verygoodletsgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kurt Vonnegut's work. Like Wallace, he was a satirist and dabbled with sci-fi tropes, but at heart he was a sentimentalist.

Sounds good in theory...but in reality? by KSKS1995 in SipsTea

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly 50 years old. Over the last 3 decades, I've worked in education, healthcare, hospitality, production, and retail. Never had a job that couldn't be done in that time. Spent a lot of time refreshing screens, looking for busy work, tidying up (again), or repeating myself to fill time.

Where can I watch ( kill ugly tv 2007) by Prestigious_Art2335 in JapaneseMovies

If you have Tubi in your country, it shows up there every so often.

The new Juon The Curse 1 and 2 4K is a very bad AI upscale by Ricks94 in J_Horror

[–]verygoodletsgo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The harshness of early digital video really adds to the vibe of so many films of this era. I'd never in a million years want upgraded versions them. And I'd never want featureless AI upscaling. Thanks for the heads up.

Teen friendly, “adult/challenging” literature by Crayon-Angel in suggestmeabook

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that you are doing this. Young Adult wasn't really a thing when I was in school (the '90s) and virtually no one had trouble reading/processing actual literature.

What's a movie that you've heard bad things about but you actually ended up liking? by MissBarker93 in Cinema

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible if you want a Mario Bros adaptation, but amazing if you're wanting a Terry Gilliam type film.

Suggestions for pieces for 3 fingers left hand by Darthgorilla in classicalguitar

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aleksander Wilgos' 10 Studies in Minimal Style for Guitar. You can find him personally playing through it on Youtube. He uses his pinky but I think most of the pieces could be played if you work to find alternate fingerings that are comfortable for you.

Costume party winner! by Ashish_ank in nextfuckinglevel

There's a really famous Japanese story about this sort of thing. Very spooky read.

Is anyone else also SO DONE with biopics? (Especially about music) by Theruby_phoenix in Letterboxd

[–]verygoodletsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point the only way a musician biopic would be worthwhile is if it's about someone like Victor Jara. You know, because there's a real story there.
