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

shit I just calculus'ed it out in my head that the first lesson happened yesterday? How did it go?

I think I've got way less songs to keep in my brain than you do but I feel your pain on trying to keep it all straight. This might be a pretty accurate representation of what goes in on my head. You ever play with these dudes (esp piano/keys) that can roll up and play the song without even knowing it, can anticipate what's coming next - without sheet music? I feel like you're about .5 steps way from that with this.

Good luck on the lessons man! Be on the lookout for CAGED and Minor Pentatonic, hopefully you start on those soon! I agree w/ what Biff says about reading music for a guitarist. But I would keep an open mind with your teacher for a little while b/c I think its definitely debatable, but I've been playing guitar in bands for a really long time and I can take a long time to eventually read what notes are what on a music staff but I'm not proficient at reading music and don't use it at all without teamed with tabs. I actually listened to a podcast a couple weeks ago where host asked a professional guitarist about reading music. The guest on the pod has played with really big acts, they mention Kelly Clarkston regularly (I think that's who it was). Went to school for guitar and stuff, works in the industry as a professional guitarist. Doesn't read music. Says no pro guitarists really do. Hope this direct link works: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9ndWl0YXJtdXNpY3RoZW9yeS5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw/episode/Yjg3NjIzODItZjM3Yy00ZmU4LWI1M2MtMDZmM2QyMTY4MzE5?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahgKEwjAr_iI7pr2AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQvQE I learned way more about reading music from playing piano (I had a piano teacher who emphasized site reading) and drums (learned how the rhythm is counted in printed music this way). I think there's a lot of theory to be learned from reading music that could apply to guitar. But I like having the music notation for rhythm but tabs for what to actually play.

Pretty sure Biden cut him off so at least what he has/knows isn't ridiculously current.

I've definitely seen people of the conservative persuasion not realizing that's a parody site.

Chernobyl is nice this time of year. Just some normal tourists

I hope he put the wrong Washington in gps

if he investigates Biden for Trump this doesn't happen.
