So anyway, if you were thinking of following me over there, you could stop these tears by doing it today...

cyph, to guitar

A question for the guitarists out there on Fediverse.
I suffered a pretty nasty shoulder injury and haven't been able to play for a while (1,5 years). Now I'd like to start playing again, but I'm kind of missing the right way of how to get back into guitar. I was on a good beginner level and was able to play my first songs and slowly learned some music theory ;) Now I'm back to zero and try to work out a training plan. Do you have any other ideas or tips?

AceArsenault,
@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org avatar

@cyph Really just comes down to practicing. : ]

Just try to find a playing position that is comfortable and get those fingers moving!

Best of luck and wishes buddy. : ]

Every night I go on X to tell people how terribly complicated the Fediverse is and that it’s far beyond anyone’s skill set to sign up.

That’s what keeps this place good. :pg:

@mxtthxw lol I see what you are doing Mr. Hogweed.

I'm not sure if I agree with your ways though. : } Because I want more people to use the Fediverse and Free Software.

quazarsamcoupe, to zxspectrum

Okay, following my quick "I'll try coding for CP/M" lark today, I've come up a couple of routines to quickly learn some asm coding for CP/M and to play with my Bus Interfaces for connecting RC2014 modules to the SAM Coupe and ZX Spectrum.

It's really just proof of concept stuff which I'll look at in this thread...

@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org avatar

@frigginglorious Thanks. : ]

I bought that shell on the side of the road many years ago.

I turned it into a shell-horn by carving a mouth piece into it.

Took a while to learn how to play it well. But I can get a good half octave range out of it.

Pitch is controlled with the placement of the hand on the bell.

F (with full hand in) up to about a C (no hand).

AceArsenault,
@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org avatar

@frigginglorious

Glad you like the sound. : }
I play trumpet and other horns too, So I can get an alright tone out of it.

I've been playing that one shell for about 12 years now.

I tuned it so completely open it sounds a C note and fully closed it drops down to about an F.

It's just a matter of moving your hand in and out of it to slide into the correct notes. : ]

And yes there is mic reverb on it. : }

AceArsenault,
@AceArsenault@fosstodon.org avatar

@frigginglorious lol Playing a cat as a bag pipe would be good entertainment. : ]

Yeah. I do my stuff live.
I do a few practice runs before recording.

Mostly to get everything tight.
I also will move the instruments around to positions where they are easier to switch to on the fly.
