All good. Just wanted to check you weren't trying to play some beastly classical and thinking "what's wrong with me?!" when the neck is a mile wide haha. You'll probably be fine with most electrics, just give it time or refer to the other advice in the thread. You could go to a guitar shop and try a short scale guitar like a fender mustang/Jag - see if it makes a world of difference or not.

I first listened to this album real late at night while finishing uni assignments. (I was going thru a list of highly recommended albums at the time.) Well, essentially as soon as Teenage Riot started and the guitar tones filled my ears I stopped working and just sat there. Listened to the whole album and didn't do any further work that night - I definitely succumbed to the Daydream Nation. Still an all time top 3 for me and Eric's Trip is a personal favourite track.

What kind of guitar do you have? There's a big difference in neck size between say, a classical guitar and an electric.

Looks like a scene from the music video for Dashboard by Modest Mouse. Very cool!

Oh man, do! Transatlanticism is an album 100% worth a spin

Generally I try to have a creative, hands-on project on the go. Lately that's been rebuilding a guitar, but it could be designing something on the computer.

Otherwise; playing guitar, gardening, practice putting (disc golf). So I guess hobbies.

Songkick? I've been using it for a few years and it works reasonably well. I believe you can connect it to Spotify too. The only negative is it's usually 3-5 days behind the announcement of shows. Following the artist directly is still the best bet to guarantee you hear it straight away. But that's only a problem if the show/artist is super popular and sells out fast.

This was the info I was interested in.

Finely ground (espresso) coffee grounds were dried in the sun and then sifted. Then mixed with binders (xanthan gum and carboxymethyl cellulose powders) and water. These are printed in a modified consumer grade fdm 3d printer using a syringe instead of the hot end. The resulting material is claimed to be as strong as unreinforced concrete, but is biodegradable.

Nice! I started on a GN250. Very easy bikes to ride and maintain

Really like this song, but (side rant) wish youtube would realise I also really like all their other songs. It over-plays this track like it's a top of the pops radio hit. Kissing Families is an older track of theirs with a very similar vibe, though I think I like it a little more nowadays. Love the screaming vocals followed by the mellow cello

That's awesome! Congrats on qualifying and good luck this weekend!

I've got a disc golf comp on Sunday. Teams match play format, so a bit different to usual and should be fun.

Another question. At your level in axe throwing, is it largely mental game that decides the winner, or other factors?
