I bought a guitar, finally

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #2 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:47:24 PM »

I play bass pretty decently already, so I don't know much about guitar but I know all of the fundamentals and stuff that translates over.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #3 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:56:03 PM »

So far it's much harder. The sole reason why I bought a guitar was because I was getting tired of the limitations bass set without installing more strings. But it's fun so far, dicking around with the chords i'm learning like the D chord or whatever.

I bought a guitar once and quit within a month and sold it. But you already

Please post some update how hard normal guitar playing is in comparison to bass guitar ok?

I've played both, very little, but the bass was always much much easier than the guitar.

I could beatmatch and mix with a MIDI controller, that's about as close as I come to an "instrument"... and I've programmed drum patterns on a 909 emulator once. Though I want to get that Korg DS game...

I just recently found his podcast. It's pretty damned great, although he occasionally opens his yap and spoils the whole "I'm not at work, I'm in a badass club!" fantasy vibe.

Decided to check these Elixer strings out after hearing so much about how great they are. And so far, they really are.

muckhole · « **Reply #32 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:49:12 PM »

Very cool.

I'd never seen those Elixir strings before. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

Powerslave · « **Reply #33 on:** July 12, 2009, 01:53:15 PM »

They have these special coatings or whatever (you can't actually see it in real life)

And, they're very expensive.

Bildi · « **Reply #34 on:** July 13, 2009, 03:49:06 AM »

I wish my strings looked like an ass crack when you zoom in on them.

I inexplicably just bought this on a whim from Amazon.co.uk. On a whim. Because it's not available in the U.S. on Blu-ray. On a whim.

Loved the movie and the book, so why not? Have a huge list of blu-rays I want to buy that just isn't getting smaller, don't know why I started with this, though.

After 15yrs of having shitty PC chair at home, I splurged on this beauty:

I tried it out in a furniture store, then scored it online for $150 or so less. Steal. The sections hug and support the buttcheeks in a very pleasant fashion indeed.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #46 on:** July 14, 2009, 11:27:05 PM »

that looks kinda disturbing tbh. Do the pale pink bits pulsate at all?

Looks cool, though.

I need to take video of it i think; it's really interesting how it moves to support you when you sit on it or lean back.

It's by a firm called 'Hara Chair' btw, the model is called 'Nietzsche' for some reason. I like 'Baboon Ass' better though

So do the butt panels move around at all as you move? I can imagine them being very comfy in any case.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #53 on:** July 15, 2009, 12:29:17 AM »

Yeah. They fold in and clench your cheeks when you sit down. As soon as i sat down, i was like oooooh, this is niiiiiice.

The only way it could be improved is if the seat was made of thin mesh, like the uber-awesome Herman Miller chairs we have at work. That stops them from getting sweaty over long periods. They're way out of my price range though.

Bildi · « **Reply #54 on:** July 15, 2009, 12:38:06 AM »

I think I had the impression they might move outwards, but they move in. Interesting, I'll have to try one if I ever see it.

I've seriously thought about putting on some overalls, grabbing a clipboard, and just walking out with one of the unattended ones in the office.

Then I remember that I'm a honky in a sea of japanese people.
