Apparently they can’t roll out Gemini to my phone because I never gave them my birthday. It’s a really old account and they’ve been sending me notifications to add my birthday for years.

No problem dude! Have fun and if you need more advice feel free to hit me up.

The E B E section is the most common chord shape you’ll see as you learn. It’s the equivalent of a power chord on a guitar. If you want to get fast with one hand get used to keeping your thumb and pinky about an octave away from each other. In this instance that means the low E and high E.

Your instinct as you hit each note might be to use your thumb pointer and middle and move you hand but it will help you down the road if you get used to looking at the individual notes as a chord keep you hand in place as you hit eat note in the chord. In this section I would think about it like A B E is one chord. Then E B E is one chord going up then back down with the same fingers then move you hand into a B E B shape to hit the last 2 notes. Does that make sense?

Oh yea that’s a tricky one. You want to keep your right hand in the chord shape as you hit each note. There are different ways to do it and it’s entirely possible to do with one hand however if you use a sustain pedal you can hold the low note using the pedal and use both hands for the rest.

This is the easiest version of One Final Effort I’ve found. Not super hard, but not beginner level. Keep it and try to play it slowly at first.

As for other video game songs, look into Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger, older zelda stuff, older pokemon songs. Things like that would be better to start with. Really anything slow that you’re already familiar with.

A few of the VG songs I used to learn were

Try to think of stuff like that to start. You can find tons of these easy sheets for free if you look around too. Although I did pay for musescore until they started charging me extra with no warning.

For me it really helped finding arrangements of rock/metal, punk, and pop stuff. Some video game music too. I’d say try to find simple arrangements of your favorite songs. I’m no expert, but I’ve been playing almost daily for 5 years with no lessons.

Practice everyday, look into adjusting the action on your acoustic, and build calluses. Seriously though, practice everyday. There are no shortcuts to get around practice. If you practice anything enough you will get better at it.

I’ve set reminders on my phone to remember to check lists, but I end up ignoring the reminders because I have too many and they’re annoying.

Die Hard is awesome, but I’ve always liked The Ref too.

No, it was a super remote part of the coast of Maine. I was thinking it could be some kind of navy technology, but it’s funner to imagine it was aliens.

I’ve seen 2. The first was when my girlfriend and I were sitting by the ocean alone after walking down a long dirt road. The sun had just gone down and we were just staring out at the water. We both see this star come up from the water then float around in circles for a few minutes then go back down into the water and disappear. That was about 7 years ago.

Also, last year as I was getting off the highway on my home I see something huge just sitting above the river. There wasn’t a quick way to get back to the river so I didn’t go back to investigate, but I still hope I see it again one day.

Unfortunately, I’ve worked with a lot of republicans in my lifetime. Hating overpaid CEOs and thinking insurance is a scam are 2 of the only things I’ve seen republicans and democrats agree on. Good fucking luck convicting him.

And LinkedIn

Allergies maybe? Most women use special makeup for dates. It could be something she’s wearing like lipstick. It could be something in the food like peanuts or olive oil.

I’m just speaking from experience growing up in churches. The people who would go to church and only behave because they think God is watching are the people trying to get their reward from it. I’ve known some really decent people, but they were very rare. The majority were there for themselves.

The thing is I’ve seen many of those same people keep the rhetoric, but leave the churches for the most part.

I think they’re thinking that people like them are in the majority and they’re trying to incite the most desperate or violent racists to start attacking minorities under the cloak of darkness. I’ve worked and spoken with crazy right wing assholes my whole life. They’re the type of people who would easily murder or rape if they think no one is watching and they can get away with it.

The funny thing is religion used to reign a lot of them in. The true believers actually felt like God watched their every move, but most church goers don’t even really act like they believe the shit they spew anymore.
