No, I do none of those things. You just sound like a resentful conformist. Maybe try thinking and doing for yourself, instead of thinking and doing as you’re told.

I think I’m going to take a break from the internet for a while…

Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

Also, don’t blow smoke up my ass.

He Asked Me How Will We Know When We’re Dead, by Bobby Byrd. (not the Bobby Byrd.)

I can’t find it anywhere to share, though, as it’s from an album he did with Jim Ward that has become so obscure that it seemingly cannot be found in written or audio form anywhere on the internet, you can still find the CD for sale here and there, though. Cryin’ shame, that whole album is solid.

Bad character and plot writing. The Bible was written by hacks and scabs.

Get rid of it, that much money is toxic. I’d throw it at every good cause I could, buy a modest house, and get back to being broke as soon as I could.

Hell yeah! That’s awesome!

It’s strong enough to crush a boulder! But gentle enough to crush a butterfly.

Curious Archive is really good if you’re into media and story analysis and exploration. I’ve also been hooked on KBash for deep dive video game retrospectives.

Gentlemen Broncos.

Absolute. Cinema. Sam Rockwell is too good for this world.

30 bucks a year seems a bit steep, I don’t know if it’d be worth it at that point over buying a tab book every now and then, or just using the free version. They still have a ton of great and accurate tabs and you can build your own library if you setup a free account.

I can see Slipknot sounding a bit incomplete on just guitar. Zoom makes some good multi effect processor pedals that can sample and do drum loops, but that gets a bit technical and sort of a whole thing in and of itself, I have a great time fucking around with mine, though. Not sure what your metal tastes are, but if you’re into any doom or sludge that stuff translates well to just guitar practice and playing, a lot of three piece bands with heavy guitar emphasis. Wizard Fight by Weedeater is a quick and fun song to learn, if you’re looking for something simple and heavy to get back into things with.

Also, C standard is king.

That’s fuckin’ awesome! Tell them I think they’re rad.

START WITH SCALE LESSONS FIRST!!! I can’t stress that enough. I wish I had had someone to teach me when I was first learning that stressed the importance of learning scales, once you have a scale down, or even just a phrase of one, learning a song on it comes so much more easily and efficiently since you have the roadmap of it.

Happy shredding!

Whether you’re just starting or you’re a master shredder, there’s something for you. I haven’t used any of their lessons, as I found them after I’d been playing for a long time, so I can’t attest to the lessons themselves, but going through their options they have a lot of lessons for learning scales and practice exercises, and can build your own library of tabs and lessons so you don’t have to search for the same song over and over while learning or refreshing on it. A lot of the features are free, so even without the membership it’s still a great resource for any guitar player.

For me, the meat and potatoes is in the tabs library and the pro tabs option that you get with a membership. It lays out the full song in bar format and you can have it play a midi tone version of the song from what’s in the tabs so you can hear the notes and watch the tracker to know exactly where that tone is supposed to land with proper timing. It helps so much more than straight tabs, as you can see and hear where and how the sound structure comes together for things that are hard to translate when you’re just looking at numbers on a page trying to figure how to play those with proper timing and placement, especially for complex things where it’s a million notes in a cluster with nothing to translate timing.

Like any community tabs archive, not everything is always a correct tablature, but the selection is better than everything else I’ve dug into. I’m not sure what the monthly is, but I see the same lifetime deal I got pop up from time to time.

“Is it illegal? Not at all. Is it morally condemnable? Who am I to say? Yes, though.”

Exactly!

It’s a meme thing from country music/trailer park cliches. Truck broke down, dog died, wife left, sort of shite.

Barb (Barbara) gone up an’ r u n n o f t (fled).

Roll it up in a rug and drop it in a dumpster. Make sure the feet are hanging out.

Ultimate Guitar. I got a lifetime membership for like 30 bucks over a decade ago and I use that shit all the time. Their pro-tabs are awesome.
