He sees Carlson as weak and easily influenced. Carlson isnt stupid. Carlson has been typecast as an outsider. Carlson has been on a lot of JRE & friends podcasts which have a stronghold in modern media that caters to young men, conspiracy theorists, and GOP boot lickers.
I think Bow Tie Tuck is a better pick than many realize.
I've shit one singular time in a "public" toilet in the past 25 years besides workplace bathrooms, and Porta potties while camping. Workplace or Porta potties both have hand sanitizer which I take copious amounts of on my way in, drip off my hands onto the seat and wipe it down with TP. Rub the rest of the sanitizer on my hands, and eviscerate myself with the equivalent power of 10 men's shits in 30 seconds.
I can't tell you what's right or wrong but in my opinion, learn songs you like for a while. The first rule is to have fun.
Pretty much every song's chords are available online so you can start slowly by strumming along to any song. If that becomes boring or tedious for whatever reason try singing along while playing.
Try using your ear to play the melody on a single note. You shouldn't be trying to sound amazing at first, because really, even after years of playing no one feels satisfied with how they sound. You should be building your dexterity, training your ear, pushing your talent, and as always, having fun.
There's going to be a bunch of technique snobs everywhere in every community of anything. Guitar is one of those things.
After 2 years of playing I realized I was holding my pick "wrong". I re-trained myself with a "correct" technique within a week. A couple years later I found a new technique of holding the pick. Again, within a week I was able to play everything I could previously while holding the pick in a dramatically different way.
Technique is something you can pick up along the way. Yes, if you practice "proper" technique from the start you will be better off, but that's only if you continue playing. Playing in a regimented fashion where you must play "properly" often times turns people away from playing at all.
All of this depends on what you actually want to do with the guitar and what your goals are.
Is it to be able to play along with some of your favorite songs? Is there a certain skill level you want to attain? Do you want to focus on lead, or rhythm?
I, for example, wanted to play the entirity of Crazy Train. I thought that as long as I could play that, I would be happy. After I learned Crazy Train, I figured, if I could play whatever note I heard in my head I would be happy. Then it was whatever phrase or riff I was hearing in my head. Then it was jamming. My practice of learning songs, paired with some very basic dexterity exercises got me beyond what my initial goal was.
That said, a good guitar teacher being there one on one will absolutely accelerate your learning. They should be asking you a lot of these same questions and directing you accordingly. More importantly than anything though, they should be making sure you're having fun. Fun gets done. Chores get ignored.
Speaking of AstroTurf, they certainly are the leaders of synthetic turf. Their artificial turf is not only aesthetically appealing, but is designed to withstand the demands of the game.
I'll consider it when you give me a better option than to call you moron.
Huh. TIL. Thanks buddy!
In what way was I criticizing Australia? I was commiserating and asking questions about the laws since I didn't know about them.
I know Australia has a lot of dangerous wildlife, but I guess there a bunch of sensitive cunts too.
Don't tell me what I want, and don't tell me you're sorry. Do you think I actually came here to abuse people? Do you think I'm that fucked up? Are you trying to tell me what to think? I know what happens next door, and you're not going to get me involved with that weird sick shit that you're clearly involved with. Maybe that would fly with your other friends, but it's not going to here. Why don't you just take your weird sicko bullshit next door and tell them about my abuse huh? Yak it up with all your sick ignorant friends, and pat each other on the back while crying abuse. I'm sure you'll all have a really fucking nice time. Really. Go ahead and have a good time. Is that what you want to hear? Because if I say anything otherwise I'm the fucking asshole right? Well fuck you. I'm done. Got it? I'm done.
I have no idea about Australian labor laws but I do know adulthood is defined as 18. What I'm about to ask is honestly ignorance so don't take it as sarcasm, so what in the fucking fuck is going on in Australia that at ages 18 to 20 is considered 40% wage in any industry? What industries will pay 100% versus 40%? Do you guys not have laws protecting ageism? Am I too tired to be on the internet? Just kidding. I know I am. See ya'll in the morning.
Condiments are not to touch the fries until the chosen time. I would rather have ketchup in my hand than on top. Whether ketchup or mayo, it should be on the side. I can always dip a fry. I can't Un-dip a fry.
Imagine you ordered delivery and the cook decided you wanted the ketchup how they like it, and 45 minutes after they came out of the fryer, a large man named Shannon riled up your dogs at 10pm, handed you a soggy box of luke warm, limp, sagging, already dressed potato sticks.
