Reply to Beginner on electric guitar. by Goldestwing

Today I went to my local thrift store with my brother and found this little exercise ball that was 4kg. We both tried picking it up by palming it like a basketball; my brother could not do it at all. I, only my right hand, couldn’t even come close, but on my left it was almost easy! That was when I realized that my left hand is my picking hand and I’ve been playing guitar for 15 years. Without knowing, my left forearm had become probably more than twice as strong as my left. Guitar takes time! The more you play, the stronger you get, and the easier it becomes.

The electric guitar requires more precision because the strings are closer together. As a left-handed person, I would never be able to play a right-handed guitar and I have a lot of dexterity with my right hand. For instance, I use the mouse on both hands with no difference in precision.

I would suggest getting a left-handed guitar. Maybe go to a guitar shop to try it out. Find some YouTube videos teaching how to use play the guitar.

It’s a taste thing and over time I think the taste has soured over the generations. Also, back when he was stealing music from black artists and presenting it as something new many whites hadn’t heard that shit yet. So there was hype that lasted a long time.

Reply to Why U2 is so hated (my take) by Expensive_Ad_403

They were pretty vocal about being the “best band on earth” a number of times which left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths.

For me it’s a clip I saw of them drunk on an awards show giving Phil Collins, the host, a bunch of shit on air. None of the members of U2 are even in the same ballpark of musicianship Phil is, and Phil has always been a humble and unassuming dude.

Oh, just middle of the road boring predictable music like James Taylor that moms who drive their kids to soccer practice in minivans listen to and then go home and swill Chardonnay.

No one better than FISH; ex-lead singer for the band Marillion. Listen to “Crucifix Corner” ( Nam and WWI ) Or Weltschmerz; his newest release. Most of his other solo albums as well as material from Marillion all focus on World War I and Socio political events. He is an extremely passionate singer and a very talented poet from Scotland.
