I've heard good things about that book, but never had a look myself. I definitely put really learning the fretboard off for way too long - felt like an asshole once I put in the time on it and realized how much it opened things up for me!

Cool, TIL, thanks for sharing!

It used to be not embarrassing myself at the next rehearsal, but nowadays a big motivator is setting a good example for my kid and showing him the value of putting in the work to get results.

Not sure about Docker integration but I use Asana for this sort of thing.

Pretty! Are those things actually fully hollow? I never saw one in person but always assumed they were semis because of the fixed bridge.

I'm not familiar with the exact tone OP wants but a compressor is a safe place to start if they want sustain without additional coloring.

What DAW are you using OP? The stock comp plugin should be totally serviceable.

If you like platformers and haven't done it already you should play both Super Mario 3 on NES and Super Mario World on SNES. Still really great to play but also a good history lesson - a lot of staple design concepts were pioneered in those games!

Staying in the platformer genre, the original Rayman on PSX wil always be one of my favorites. Wonderful, unique art and sound design. Starts off very slow but becomes fiendishly difficult as you keep going. Be advised that it was designed with limited lives and some brutal gauntlets between save points. Save scumming with your emulator is probably going to be good for your sanity here.

I've never seen those mini buckers before, thought they were p90s at first glance. How do they compare to the full size ones?

Also RIP your back, I love my LP but it's so damn heavy I stopped gigging with it years ago

They did SUCH a good job with it. It's a love letter to the original game but done in a very modern and approachable way.

The production value is fantastic but itemization seems a bit dull to me. I was hoping for something to split the difference between D2 and POE in terms of no-lifing required, but it feels a bit closer to a very casual experience like D3. Also not a fan of the dynamic scaling, it's awul to feel stronger in the same zone at level 10 than level 30.

But I'm optimistic, they're going to be building on a solid platform. There's tons of potential here.

Transcribing was so frustrating when I started, but oh man is it good for your ears!

Sucking it up and actually learning the fretboard and how to spell chords so I can do cool voice leading stuff with inversions and upper structure triads. Painful, but already paying dividends!
