Coping with what? Y'all really need to steep up your denial game. Everything is fine. 🐕 🔥
Honestly I have weird survivors guilt, since I worked for the local government, my job could be done remotely so when covid happened in March they gave me a laptop, two monitors a keyboard and mouse and said enjoy working remote.
I feel the same way. I was job searching when COVID started, and shifted to returning to school, and I've just been doing online classes through this whole crisis. I stuck all my stimulus money into the stock market (it's not going well).
Broke: reject modernity embrace tradition
Woke: return to monke
Bespoke: back to the sea! 🐬🐬🐬
Ya I started as an ironic posadist but at this point I'm unironically on board with getting the dolphins and any communist aliens that show up involved in the struggle, the nuclear warfare part seems less viable these days
Doing fine just fully dissociating from my body so I don’t think much about the looming ecological colapse
A lot on YouTube, but I don't know what would be best, since I didn't start there. Scott's Bass Lessons are okay, sometimes. Learn some general basic music theory from one source or another, and try to get a hold of a cheap keyboard. It's an excellent learning tool, too. Singing also helps internalize music and fosters improvisation as well.
Once you learn your chords and scale patterns, write them out every so often. Learn them by rote memory and by ear, but also remember to express freely and take risks, if you learn that, while continuing to learn music theory and the vocabulary of the genre you're playing, then you're great.
Idfk, lol. I'm only good at specific questions.
Oh, great. Then you learn the physical instrument, apply the basic theory to it, learn it's musical role in the genres you want to play and the language the players use. That make sense?
Try Ben Levin's channel he has a good theory course, I think. Also, just learn a shit ton of songs and use theory to recognize the patterns.
I taught guitar and bass so here some stuff to help. Get a small drum to develop your rhythm. Just something to tap on constantly. Bass is easy to just dive right in because it's a rhythm instrument but you'll be fatigued by it until you adjust. A little drum means you won't disengage your self from it.
I've always said to the people I teach, never go more than a day without picking up an instrument within the first year of learning. You could play for 6 months, put the bass down for a week and you'll have regressed a month. Not good.
Be consistent in your first year. Once you get to a year you can officially say you can play the bass. Because then you could put it down for a week and pick it back up again with no loss.
Just play to songs. Don't worry too much about getting it right. I know people with a terrible habit of stopping when they make a mistake and they've been at it for years. Playing badly is better than not playing at all.
Well I go to my job everyday and see the patients. People are not doing well.
I am in the Canadian Atlantic bubble and I am pretty bummed out that my toddler's gaelic lessons got moved outside. Other than that, it's been great having an excuse to avoid socializing.
Gaelic. It's a language people traditionally speak here in addition, to Mi'kmaw and Acadian French.
