I just had my first lesson with a guitar teacher and I can already tell it’s going to be a massive help to me. Within the first five minutes he helped me understand that my picking technique was not quite right and helped me see that I was placing my thumb wrong on the back of my neck. I’ve spent the last seven days trying to focus on just fixing those things and I’ve already noticed an improvement.

My biggest struggle now is slowing down the songs I’m trying to learn into small chunks and learning to play those perfectly. Like, I know in my head what the song is supposed to sound like and I am having a hard time stopping my brain from telling my fingers and my hand to pick/strum it at the speed my ears hear it at…it feels so slow to learn it with a metronome and it is really discouraging me.

Music of the Week - July 10, 2023

What have you been obsessing over this week? What songs have been stuck in your head? What do you find yourself singing over and over again, or always hitting that repeat button on?

Share something cool with someone else, and hopefully discover something awesome for yourself!

For sure, I’ll check in with you after I get around to finishing it!

Oh interesting. Good to know! I dug The Stormlight Archives (still need to read the latest one…), but couldn’t get into Mistborn at all. Maybe I’ll give Skyward a go. If it’s YA it should be a fast read and I’ve heard good things!

Looking for new books to read as I am preparing to head out on a much needed vacation and want to dig into some good reading. Can be fiction or nonfiction, just so long as it hooked you and made you want to keep reading and reading until the end.

Sorry if this has been answered many times elsewhere (or is in a FAQ or guide somewhere)...I've searched but haven't had any luck finding it.

Is it possible for me to create a new community? Or do I need to request it from an admin or something?

What music has been stuck in your head this week? What songs or albums have you been obsessed with? Which new artists have you discovered?

Introduce something new to someone else, or maybe discover something awesome for yourself!

Still trying to “find my place” here but I am enjoying the whole thing. Lots of awesome discussions popping up and great conversation here.

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

I’m super excited for the potential this has. Happy to be here and hoping to help build a great online community with you all!

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Oh for sure. I am very appreciative of the dev and everyone working to help shape it into the best version it can be! My apologies if my post came off as snarky, it wasn’t intentional.

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Ah ok, good to know! I get that it’s all early and still in development. I really enjoy the app so far - but the messages and notifications features would really make it top for me!

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yep! That’s what I’m seeing and it is pretty frustrating.

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, thank you for this explanation! This was the simplest way I have ever seen it explained and was super helpful. Very appreciated!

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, thanks for linking to the Mlem community. I asked it there, but based on the GitHub link you shared, it’s probably just a matter of the dev needing to implement it and hasn’t been able to yet. I think I’ll just continue with the web app for now.

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I have a question that’s probably more specific to using Mlem to access Lemmy instances. How can I use that app to see notifications on Lemmy? I had a bunch of responses to a comment I made and had no idea because I was browsing on Mlem. No way to easily access my own posts/comments, nor see responses to those. I had to get into the web app to see that I had like 7 notifications.

[-] Evolone@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

Yes, it is. And I literally have no idea what I’m doing or what the fediverse is or how to best utilize it and I have a mastodon account but don’t use it because all of this fediverse/instance stuff stresses me out and I just want a cool community to feel like I’m a part of, not a bunch of stuff I don’t understand and I hope I can feel comfortable here with Lemmy. Oof.
