  1. Actually ROMAD I do have an additional opinion about beginner level guitars, the beginner level ones from Gretsch (which is now made by Fender as well) are a super great value. A lot of their models are old-timey looking but if she likes them or there's one that's not old timey it could be a great way to go.
  2. Clearly due to the Democrats rhetoric
  3. This is the single most important thing I've ever learned on guitar. I'd guestimate that 80% of sick guitar solos leverage this:
  4. I've got about 30-some years into the instrument now too..... and I've long thought if I had to do it over again I woulda/shoulda played piano/keys. That said, if it's too late to call the audible.... Folks are right about lessons. I didn't have any lessons until about 2 years ago, and they were extremely helpful. But there are different kinds of lessons..... Some folks teach songs, and even take requests.... like you have a fav song and they'll figure it out and teach it to you. This can be good b/c it can be motivating to learn songs that you love and show off to your friends, but there's a limit to it. I think some sort of hybrid where they have songs and also teach scales, arpeggios, and CAGED would be the gold standard. Or maybe teach the songs in the context of scales, arps and CAGED so you can generalize what you're learning to other things. That was what lessons did for me, he tied all of the scales and CAGED and whatnot together for me. When I called him to set up lessons, he asked me how long I was playing and I said over 25 years and was was like.... You Should be teaching.... and I said... yeah no **** that's why I'm calling you right now. Don't forget to budget for an amp as well. Positive Grid Spark has some pretty cool lil amps that are super versatile and seem great for beginners. I'm a hard core guitar snob cork sniffer as Biff calls them (very fairly) so I'm not too informed on what's a good beginner value but I think Squire is as good as any for that purpose.
  5. I thought JV Dance was a pretty good debater, and Coach Walz wasnt as good. However I read somewhere, maybe here, a take that Walz's best 3 answers were better than Vances best 3 answers and i agree with that. Vances j6 turdpile should be disqualifying.
  6. My hope is the agreeing thing works for people who arent as combative about politics as me. But i agree about the agreeing. His new best answer was J6.
  7. Walz killed him there.
  8. Walz is much stronger on domestic issues. Vance creates ways to blame everything on Vice President Harris.
  9. Another good sign in the neighborhood....
  10. Got a WP push alert that Slump is going to meet with Zelensky. RIP Logan Act. We hardly knew thee.
  11. Nate is wrong but not for the obvious reason. Indictments are a pre-req for the REPUBLICAN nomination, not the Democratic.
  12. so is the left. Dude sucks
  13. Eta: Sorry, bluesky embed didnt work. Clay Higgins posting racist **** then deleting apparently. https://bsky.app/profile/phillewis.bsky.social/post/3l4yzyox2p32x
  14. Bummer c'mon doobie lover
  15. its over
  16. Similarly I dont care about trumps citizen status and now declare hes ineligible to run for president because hes not a citizen
  17. How can we depend on Trump keeping the country safe if he cant even keep his country club safe?
  18. and kicking the ass
  19. I agree that Pete moved here to pursue a state wide office which was probably a non starter in Indiana. But hes going to have good competition in the primaries. Its also possible Indiana just isnt his preferred place to live. Seems reasonable
  20. It was only last week when Hillbilly Vanilli was saying school shootings were a fact of life. Literally more concern over a goose than school children
  21. The internet doesnt think "influencing" is all shes doing to him... https://www.semafor.com/article/09/11/2024/republicans-fear-laura-loomer-is-influencing-donald-trump Republicans fear Laura Loomer is influencing Donald Trump
  22. MAGA is madder about a Canadian Goose getting shot in a park than they are about American children getting shot in a park
  23. Yep i think this is a mistake for trump too
  24. Pretty similar to the riots in UK. So sad.
