Hey all!

It's been a fun journey learning guitar. I feel like I've progressed pretty fast to get a great baseline for playing. I practice too much..like 1-5 hours a day almost every day. I know it's an endless journey of learning and creating which I'm still overly enthusiastic about and can't wait to be able to share more with the world as I continue to get better.

I wanted to see how this sub thinks of my current playing. I don't have too many friends in my life that I can lean on for support or feedback (or that care) so I figured I'd put stuff on here. hopefully this is allowed.

please take a listen and let me know your feedback. good, bad, neutral. it's all good. all information/feedback is welcome and will be taken with smiles and a drive to better myself.

Me just having fun starting up the neck for the first time. - https://foldr.space/f/wfwwHhdwX8iLWMES/having-fun.mp3

Sound countryish twang playing I felt about 2 months ago and have been working on clarity - https://foldr.space/f/VImNiZ6MiZ8OM4nA/early-twang.mp3

more countryish stuff, playing with hammerons and single note changes to new chord - https://foldr.space/f/ygTNR8Tsl4GfcENx/that-twang.mp3

Thanks and I hope to be able to post something like this again in the future with longer clips, better timing (my current main focus) tone and picking accuracy.

links only last a week... I'll try to delete after to avoid 8day viewers from being confused asking for reuploads

edit: I should add that my guitar is the Martin Jr10e cutaway. absolutely love this guitar. recently started using picks too, all 3 clips above were with a pick. those cat tongue ones since all the other ones kept slipping and still do lol. previously 0-3 months was purely fingerstyle.

what in the ever living hell is with a garbage quality of corded sub $5 headphones. why must they all have those stupid trash silicone tips that fall off and don't fit. why in the ever living fuck is there ZERO bass... 10 year old FREE headphones were literally better in all regards. makes absolutely no sense. it's actually hurting my brain listening to these prices of shit

so I want to take a trip. but I do NOT want to go to anywhere in the world that has been taken over by Walmart's and whatnot..

I went to Mexico the last time, was driving around... bam... giant Walmart. why.. why does everything need to look the same, sell the same junk.

is there a list of cities, countries that are still.. good that haven't been visually infected with corporate American trash stores?

for 1 printer from Lexmark, there is 25 warranty options.... what the hell? I'm not selling your shit. if picking the best warranty upgrade is confusing, everything else about it will be confusing and not worth the effort.

migitage how much garbage services your selling, and maybe you'll sell some. instead, I purposely avoid even looking at it because it's just a mess of bullshit

companies need to actually try using their services client side to see how garbage they really are.

gday all, looking for some guidance or to be pushed into the right direction.

I recently installed Linux, (bazzite, but I will be changing to something with more control as I feel bazzite is tryjng to protect me too much which causes other issues, possibly this )

so I installed bazzite, everything went fine with no issues. I attempted to connect my TR-002 QNAP via usb as a STORAGE DRIVE. Linux detects the drive being connected and powered on, however it shows as 12tb unallocated. I know it's allocated as I can swap my boot drive (physically, not dual booting) back to Windows and all data is present and usable.

I attempted previously to edit fstab and manually add it as a drive, ya that failed miserably and resulted in me needing to boot into grub to rebuild my fstab. (when I learned I don't like bazzite as it revoked my root access, hence grub).

Is there anything I should be looking at or doing in order to get this drive to connect as storage? I suspect windows l, when I first created the QNAP did some fuckery and didn't load the partition tables or something.

just looking for someone to point me I t he right direction, worst case I remove bazzitr and install something like popos or Ubuntu as I know I'd have more control, and the fact that bazzite does not like NTFS (even though this isn't the os drive). other USB drives I have that are NTFS, show up perfectly without issue. only this qnap

Just looking for direction, input, personal stories, anecdotes, links, infographics, literally anything on the topic.

Something to help one better themselves, manage their life and put some structure or control in place.

Just curious on what everyone will be carving and putting out. I unfortunately can't contribute to my own post as I haven't done a pumpkin in a few years, but I'd love to see what everyone is thinking about carving up :)

I'm just confused on why they are forcing me to rent a car at their expense, instead of using my own car. this is the first year they said they are getting me a car.

what could be reasons why they would opt for rental instead of km/milage reimbursement?

I don't wanna drive no automatic lol

Just went for a walk with my doggo. The colours are amazing, the leaf crunch is there. Many people are out and about at the dog parks, parking lots are almost full.

What's holding you back from getting the family out for an hour long walk? it's great for your legs, back and lungs and keeps any pets tired so you can enjoy the rest of your day even more?

Hope you had a great weekend whatever your original plans were.

Stay safe and happy Ottawa!

Just checking in with others, making sure everyone's good and happy, or if anyone needs any help with anything.

Rewiring myself to be more outgoing, and accepting of everyone so why not start with Ottawa.
