Honestly, I don't really blame capitalism, computers, automation, or any of that for millenials being ignorant of the world outside a screen. I blame the internet, or more specifically, the web, and firmly believe that Tim Berners-Lee should be tried for his crimes against humanity.

I've worked out that, excluding a gearbox, I've spent more on coil springs than all the other repairs and maintenance combined. (Buy a car and I'll have to replace a spring within a year)

I'm seriously considering buying a range rover, just to avoid this.

lol you'll be replacing air springs instead

What kind of band?

My favorite activity currently is learning guitar. Been doing justinguitar.com stuff and learning chords and it's really neat demystifying the instrument.

Anybody out there play? Gimme tips!

I play a bit. The best way I find to master a difficult riff or lick like in the solo part of a song is to concentrate on accuracy before speed. If you can play it slowly but accurately then it's just a matter of slowly building up the tempo till you can play along with the recording

Ive used guitar pro which is pretty good tab software that let's you isolate tracks and adjust tempo among other thibgs to play along to and you can download tabs from ultimate-guitar.com

Tho tbh in haven't been playing a lot recently so there may be better/newer software out there but I found it really helpful when learning new songs

This, but I used other peoples tabs because even after playing guitar 14 years I find it hard to tab by ear.

Im pretty sure I posted this before but my mom won this guitar for me a few months ago. I traded it in for the same model in a 6 string. It sounds really good but I dont play it enough.



I think i would have kept the 12 string imo unless you've already got one

I don't think I've ever posted my little friend itt

There are certainly worse things to be defined as a person than physically and mentally strong, providing for and protecting loved ones, and being determined in your life. The flip side is you get todays fuckfaces that need safe spaces that cannot handle confrontation or adversity without whining and lashing out like a 9 year old girl with a skinned knee.

As with all things, there needs to be a balance. Maybe I'm old fashioned and not at all fit for the world and the way its going but as the patriarch, if that is you (generally speaking here, not YOU you), then, yeah, you should have or develop certain traits to be THE foundation of the family. That's just the way it is. Men like to be around other men; women like to be around other men.

I mean, lets break it down:
they're physically strong - a good thing. Typically it means they're healthy, fit.
they are stoic and wise - another good thing. They're smart; dependable.
they protect those they care about - how is this bad? pretty self explanatory
they have an iron will - eh, not so much this, I'll concede. You need to be flexible and not 'ITS MAH WAY OR THE HIGHWAY'
they're providers - oof. Completely terrible to be a provider for your family

I think he's trying to say that these qualities alone do not make a man and hell, i agree with him
