Yeah I knew it would be when and not if on the advancing guitarist popping up. I got my copy of it like 10 years ago, and I definitely wasn't ready for it. Only relatively recently am I really starting to get a lot out of it.
I'm not familiar with the other one but will have a look!
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!
Anyone else really enjoy picking up new ideas from books? There are a lot of crap ones out there, but some real gems too.
Pic related is what I'm working through now and it's fantastic. Randy has another book that's a more general introduction to jazz guitar, which is probably the most useful information dense guitar book I've ever found.
What are your favorites?
Oh God I think I spent more on batteries for that thing in 3 months than I did for the actual handheld.
Well said. I'd also be curious to see what OP thinks about it with his (presumably) young eyes. I'd probably pay actual money to watch him Livestream when he gets to Tubular
Not sure about Docker integration but I use Asana for this sort of thing.
One of the best heavy guitar tones ever, this shit rules so much.
I've really got to go get a sack of msg to play with. How much do you add as a starting point?
Looks good, what's your go-to seasoning for fried rice?
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.
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.
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!
Super cool! Can we get a picture of the controls?
