@LukeAlmighty maybe scales. look up something like "guitar scales for beginners." learning tabs will be the same, just looking up a video like "guitar tabs for beginners." i recommend knowing tuning and the names of all the strings first because you're going to need that foundation if you want to be able to read and play tabs.
after you get used to playing some simple melodies (i started with video game music like mario sunshine and final fantasy) then you can try learning some chord formations and looking up chords for songs. however, that's when you'll need to know strumming patterns which requires a good sense of rhythm, so before playing chords you'll want to maybe look up some videos on how to practice rhythm and strumming patterns on a guitar. it can be as simple as just not fretting any of the strings and playing an open chord, which won't sound very great but that shouldn't be your focus. you want to get the rhythm and the way your hand moves down.
when you hold a guitar you want the pad of your thumb pressed up against the back of the neck. that makes it easier for your fingers to travel around the fretboard. i don't do this and it's a bad habit of mine because it means i have to change my hand position on the neck for some chord structures (i have my thumb wrapped over the top of the neck most of the time). it's really good to practice with proper form even if it feels weird or unnatural at first. the same goes for holding a pick, you can look up how you're supposed to hold one for the best results. i actually don't use a pick because i play ukulele for the most part and you're not supposed to use one, you just use your finger nail, so i'm more used to that (and my finger nail is always broken because of that lol).
don't expect it to go fast, it takes a long time to learn and requires a combination of a lot of skills, muscle training, and committing things to memory. but anyone can do it if they stick with it. it's probably gonna' hurt your fingers for a little bit, especially if you're not practicing with nylon strings but even then you're gonna' get calluses over time to resist the pain. my finger tips on my left hand are slightly deformed because of it and i've got a big callus on my middle finger from bar chords xD
@berkberkman @Owl @LittleTom @RehnSturm256 apparently the huniepop developer offered a million dollars for the western publishing rights for doax3 and heard nothing back.
@LukeAlmighty @BlinkRape alright don't take my advice, the guy who literally makes most of his money by playing music ![]()
@LukeAlmighty buy a really cheap guitar, doesn't matter how good it sounds (unless you already own one). You're gonna want to learn all of the parts of the guitar first. Then the names of all the strings in standard tuning (EADGBE, a good way to remember is "Elvis ate drugs good bye Elvis) and how to tune them (there is an easy trick where you only need to know how one of the strings sounds when tuned to get the rest of them right that any YouTuber will probably teach you).
Once you get all of this down and committed to memory, THEN you can start learning proper hand placement, how to hold a guitar pick, strumming patterns, and then finally how to play tabs.
It's important to start with a strong foundation and then build it up.
When I was a kid I got a gba sp, but actually lost it alongside my Pokémon emerald cart that was inside of it.
My parents ended up buying me another one with another copy of the game because none of us could find it and it had been months since it had gone missing. I wasn't allowed to take it to school or anything so maybe it had gotten lost at a park somewhere or slipped out of the car somehow, but I was pretty confident that the last time I saw it was at the house.
Well fast forward several months after that and for some reason I was lying down underneath the recliner on the floor and a little glint caught my eye. I reached my hand in to see what it was and lo and behold, it was my Gameboy, which had sunk underneath the couch from between the cushions. Kid me immediately started bawling his eyes out with the realization that all of those Pokémon I had in my original copy were all still there, like being reunited with a bunch of old friends.
The gba has this massive scar on it from where it kind of got crushed in the couch's reclining mechanism to remind me of that moment and I still have both the original copy of the game and that sp. Don't have the original save unfortunately, I think it's been overwritten a few times with different playthroughs at this point but that's alright.
The newer Gameboy was given to my brother and I have no idea what he did with it.
@matrix the guy who made this dick man is a bona fide legend
@LukeAlmighty hell is 50 lbs
Holy shit TotK keeps wowing me. I got to another part of the game where I was just like OH SHIT! The funny thing is that a couple days ago I saw someone actually complaining that what I found wasn't in the game. It's there alright, and it's crazy.
And then after that three more things happened that caught me completely off guard but had me super excited. I seriously cannot sing this game's praise enough. It's so damn good.
@Mr_NutterButter it's got a lot of novelty factor I think, but that can only go so far.
@matrix @LukeAlmighty ah yeah the new way is the bomb strat that just fucking sends you
rant
@diceynes not the point retard
rant
@matrix well looks like the pregnant part may have been fabricated, but he still was charged for aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, pushed a gun to the woman's stomach.
