My tremolo picking could use more work but this is the best take I've been able to get. This is the guitar solo from Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. It's my favorite song of all time <3

This might just be the best song to jam to on guitar that I've learned so far. Cannot wait to do a cover!

Reminder that AI agents can just ignore your suggestion to not crawl 😒 What's even more concerning is some of these paths being requested seem like malicious attempts.

I don't like classifications like "beginner," "intermediate," and "advanced" for guitar songs, because they seem to imply progress happens in discrete stages. You can be good at an advanced song while being a beginner, but still struggle with a "simple" song. Ignore the labels, just play 🤷

It's not a war, it is a war, we are in a stalemate, we won the war 30 times already, we may start and win the war again and continue to do so indefinitely but not for much longer soon very soon it will be over it already is over actually 30 times did they tell you that we are winners we always win

Since we now own nothing and everything's a subscription, I've started buying some of my favorite artists' music through Bandcamp to listen offline. You get much higher quality formats too compared to the compressed ones on streaming platforms.

Reality Awaits is really growing on me. I know some folks don't like the autotune but imo it fits Julian's voice really well, and is done artistically rather than as a crutch. "Falling out of love" is probably my favorite track music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I want to write about how exhausted I am by AI and how it's eroding our collective trust in each other and everything we see and do online, and how an entire generation of creatives will now constantly have to defend their work against unfair criticism, but honestly I'm too tired to even do that.

It always bothers me when people needlessly shorten variable names like "currentPosition" to "curPos", like is it really that difficult to type a few extra characters?

I've been putting in hours of daily practice to learn the guitar solo from Time (Pink Floyd). It's fun to play and is a culmination of a lot of techniques I've been learning, but it's also very tricky. You have to be very deliberate with your muting and pitch.

Reminder that a file EXTENSION does not actually tell you anything about a file's TYPE or contents. I can send you a .png that's an .exe. File extensions are completely arbitrary and are more like a hint. To get the real file type you need to compare the file's bytes to a list of known signatures.
