I don’t know what the path forward is for this platform, but good grief, I’m out. It’s slow, it’s impossible to set up new communities, it’s rife with political misgivings about the founders (justified), and most importantly, it’s just not fun to use
I’ll be at squabbles.io if anyone needs me
Car, though I have a plug in hybrid and fill up the tank once every 2-3 months. Public transit is a joke in my city, and while I do bike to the few places I can safely get to (work is actually one of them, weather permitting), it’s just not something I’d feel safe doing for most commutes.
The Microsoft Sculpt keyboard is my perfect keyboard. They discontinued it a couple months ago, but you can still find them in Amazon. Tented and split (though it’s one solid unit, so no customization) with a separate wireless numpad for exactly the reason you described. Typing on anything else makes my fingers go numb after about half an hour.
Still thinking about trying a fully customizable one someday though, but I’m not sure it’s worth the expense for me
Seems like more web3 BS to me. Anything that Jack Dorsey puts his energy into is on my do-not-use list.
I’ve been working on transitioning between barre chords and major 7th chords (specifically the voicing that uses just the top four strings with fingers arranged in a diagonal).
Going from the 7th to the barre is easy enough, but transitioning back with confidence and accuracy is proving challenging
Hah! I did not know that. They just gotta keep us guessing on this stuff
Not an uncommon assumption! I learned this by making the same assumption on Reddit a few years ago
Great guitar. And I love my Couch strap as well. Should last me basically the rest of my life.
Oh good! My first opportunity to point out that Jazzmaster pickups aren’t P90s! They look very similar, but they’re wound very differently and have a distinctly different sound.
But they’re both pure sex, so you’re not wrong on the fundamentals, lol
Don’t worry, she took it off like 2 seconds later
Oh, and yeah, whatever prevails, prevails. I tried to make one myself a few days ago, but beehaw just kept failing out on me. Not sure if they just let anyone make a community or if it’s more of a process.
Whatever. R/guitars was my favorite place on the internet, and I just want to help rebuild that here
So there appear to be two brand new guitar communities, one here and one at midwest.social. I think we're all probably getting used to how the fediverse version of this kind of social media works, so maybe two aren't necessary?
Anyway, posting to both to see what kind of traction/interactions I get
This is a recent build I did, and it's super fun to play:
- Warmoth neck
- Nomoonlaser body
- Bootstrap pickups
- Hipshot tuners
- Fender hardware otherwise, though the pickguard is from some random dude on ebay, and it thankfully fit perfectly.
Mostly trying to figure out the best way to post here. Tried a direct upload of a photo yesterday, and it just ground to a halt.
Anyway!
This is a recent build I did, and I love it
- Warmoth neck
- Nomoonlaser body
- Bootstrap pickups
- Hipshot tuners
- all other hardware is fender. Though the pickguard is some random dude on ebay that thankfully fit perfectly
Recent guitar build I did. Offset tele. I didn't create any parts here, but I assembled and set them all up myself.
I'm mostly trying to figure out the most efficient way of posting pics in these communities. I tried a direct upload yesterday that failed.
Anyway, this is a recent build I did, and it's become one of my top two guitars.
