One interesting fact about you

[The Cow Dude]

I'm happy with just one video card and a good power supply.

 

[The Cow Dude]

Oh I lived on my own for about a year and a half on a meager monthly deposit from my dad and now I live with my oldest brother with a not so meager monthly deposit after getting social services involved, and I have a job now.

 

[Dystopian]

I'm currently learning how to play electric guitar.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Just the electric guitar?

 

[Dystopian]

I used to play acoustic a lot when I was younger, but I stopped for a while and now I've decided to learn electric.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

That's a bit of an arbitrary distinction, isn't it?

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

What?

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Saying that he's specifically learning electric guitar as opposed to acoustic guitar. A six-string guitar is a six-string guitar. Even a twelve-string guitar is a six-string.

 

[Moose!]

That's a bit of an arbitrary distinction, isn't it?

Definitely not. They play very differently in my (limited) experience. I know people who are awesome at electric, but terrible at acoustic. Don't know any the other way around though, maybe acoustic is just harder?

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Unless you're talking about a classical guitar, they aren't different. As someone who's been playing guitar for 12 years, I can tell you acoustics and electrics play identically. There are some techniques people generally only do on one and not the other, but they really the same thing.

 

[Moose!]

Well la de da for you then.

 

[Fierce Headmaster]

And as someone who's been playing guitar for 8, I'm pretty sure he was talking about classical, and yes they play different. Main difference being in how much pressure you need to put on the strings to not whiff, which makes electric way easier to be fast and virtuoso in.

 

[Ambalon]

I'm OK on the classic but pretty ****e in the electric.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Classical guitars definitely are different, but I'd say not significantly so. I have a nylon-string classical sitting on my couch and I play it almost everyday, and despite having thrown me a little at first, it's fundamentally the same as a steel-string guitar. Of course I don't shred or anything, so I've never been overly concerned with being very quick.

 

[Ambalon]

Steel string guitars are pig disgusting.

 

[Harkon Haakonson]

Steel string guitars are pig disgusting.

your mom is disgusting

She was alright. Just needs to bathe a little more often.

I can do stuff on electric I can't on classical, like fretting all strings at once with the index (yay soft hands and skin), so I really feel the difference. Also yeah I can "shred" on electric though I'm not as good as I wish I was.

You can't fret all string with one finger on the classical?
