Weren't there curfews at one point? That doesn't seem applicable to fighting the virus.

I'm not super sure - it's hard to say b/c we knew so little at the time some of the things were happening. Or now we generalize (or maybe over-generalizing) characteristics of the most recent variant onto the past variants. I remember wondering back at the beginning, when SE Michigan, NYC, and some of the west coast were getting crushed, if they weren't different variants at that point. I know this isn't what you were asking, but if someone speculates that we'd be in the place as we are now if we'd done a bunch of crap differently, I can also speculate that we'd be in a different place as we are now if we'd done a bunch of crap differently, and we'd both just be speculating. To me chances are we'd be in a much different place if we behaved differently and speculation parries speculation. Maybe that's just a fancy way of saying "cool predictions of a fake world" bro and also coming up with cool predictions of a fake world. Because cool predictions of a fake world are really easy to do, to me there's not much value in cool predictions of a fake world. We saw countries not do restrictions and they said it was a mistake.

That's where I say "no we wouldn't" and that's all that's necessary to sufficiently retort

a legit ass trcuker convoy!!

Boring Which is the worst possible thing for a troll to be

Souza is always destroying Ronnie Jax on twitter....

by morons he means nazis maybe

the most shocking part of that is that a host asked a republican tough question

he such a knob

Fuentes is the leader of the Groypers, what's being said here understates his terribleness. He's also hangs around with Michelle Malkin these days. Yes that Michelle Malkin hangs out with nazis

they don't care about effective governance.

They don't support the notion that the Democrats are ever entitled to make nominations, let alone a specific Democratic nominee. This is the party with members on record of keeping a seat open during an entire potential Hillary administration, including the member with the power to actually do it.

It's a true beauty man, I really love it too. I think it's useful because once you have it down it teaches you every nice sounding note around the G chord for making up your own stuff around the G chord.

D shape and subsequent D-Sus (thank you for putting a name to it for me!) instantly trigger pattern 4 in my head. Then it's a matter of stringing together patterns. Or working through CAGED. That's why I think the box patterns and CAGED have been the most important things I've learned as a foundation.

I think I do that one all the time too. I think of it as box pattern 1 though.

A couple others I remember also taking a lot from: I Remember You by Skid Row similar, perhaps the inspiration for I remember You: Over The Hills and Far Away by Zeppelin Both are awesome uses of the G chord and G is really the best chord on the guitar

Another tune I learned when I was just beginning that left an impression on me was Desire by U2. I think it's mainly because it's switching between the open chords so quickly, once I got that down I was like, I think I can learn this instrument maybe.

Yep I think that's the name I've heard for it too lol I don't actually know what it's called. Doing that or some variation of it in almost any major key sounds really great to these ol ears.

I know someone who's really good at guitar and he claims to have learned everything from an AC/DC tablature book. I think what he's lacking is the background to be like "Ok, he's playing this scale in Em, If I move it to 5th fret it's Am, which will probably work with anything in C". Doesn't know how to put the riffs he learned into the box patterns and generalize.

Yeah AC/DC is the classic band full of songs for this purpose! And they're also freaking awesome, Angus rules. One song I'd throw out to consider learning in lessons is Free Fallin by Tom Petty. What he does with the D-chord in that song has persisted in my playing for over 20 years esp when you notice you can move the D-chord around. My $.02!

awesome

I honestly think the trained people just roll up knowing they can almost always play a I-IV-V and if that doesn't work tweak it slightly and they're off to the races when they play rock.

hahahahah that story from the cellist is awesome. I totally buy it. I think classical music type people see rock as like I can do this in my sleep and they totally can haha I'd imagine both of those folks you mentioned are probably formally trained? I've thought alot about multi-instrumentalism, specifically my question is..... if I spend a shitload of time trying to learn piano lets say.... will it make me a better guitarist? Fortunately, I am about to spend about 10 hours with someone who plays keys, guitar, bass and trumpet super good and I'm planning to ask him just that. I don't know if I'll be able to totally relate to his answer b/c he's music degree'd from UofM and stuff so it might just be like "cool story, check out this chromatic scale I can't play cleanly" haha
