so this is how you learn how to play guitar in 2025
after half an hour of analog video troubleshooting i have decided i will just use the dvd-rom drive
this book does of course also have the accompanying video content available for online streaming, it was published in 2016 after all, i just enjoy physical media
by the way i would like to direct a special “fuck you” to the people who legislated that macrovision copy protection has to be present on analog video, because i believe you're indirectly responsible for the playstation 2 not supporting rgb video out for dvd playback specifically
why does the standard numbering of guitar strings go from the highest-pitched string to the lowest-pitched string. this has always annoyed me
@hikari The answer is basically just Hysterical Raisins, but one possible argument is that when you do guitar tab (and other tablature preceeding it) the thin string is typically at the top, and you read top to bottom?
That convention aligns somewhat with the typical western musical convention that higher notes go on upper lines.
On the other hand, I just would call the strings by their note names and always say "high e / low e"
@shift_reset the thing is we always count notes in ascending pitch, C is the 1st note of the scale, D is the 2nd, and so on…
