Rip cosette

No worries! My two favorites are probably country roads (another crowd favorite) and sink Florida sink by against me. Nice simple songs that aren’t too fast and sound very satisfying once you get the hang of them. Once you’ve got the chords dialed in, pay attention to the strumming pattern and rhythm too, that’s a big part of why these really simple songs sound so great

The best way I found when I was first learning was to start by listening to a song and just trying to play the root note along with the chord changes.

Wagon wheel is a great song for this because there’s no unusual chord shapes, and it’s good one to throw out any time says “hey, don’t you play guitar?” just follow the song to try and find the root notes of each chord as their played. This will help you get the rhythm down too.

Noodle around until you’ve got those, and then start playing the major or minor chord shapes instead of just the root. If you’ve got a little music theory, or even just know the chords in the key, this’ll be a little easier. But you should be able to figure out whether the chord should be major or minor by ear. For a lot of songs, this’ll get you reasonably close.

Repeat with a few easier campfire classics, and you’ll start to get a feel for it, which will make more complex songs a little easier. You’re gonna get frustrated every now and then when you come across a chord you’re not used to or a weird chord shape, so feel free to look stuff up if you’re really stuck and can’t figure out after a solid effort. After a while you get better at spotting 7 chords or inversions, but when you’re starting out, just get as close as you can and then if you have to, it’s fine to cheat a little with tabs to get that last 10 percent. After enough practice you’ll find you don’t need to “cheat” quite so often

I used to practice this intentionally a lot more, but nowadays to keep sharp, I sit and noodle while I’m watching tv, and I’ll try to figure out what sounds good over the soundtrack, which is a sorta halfassed way to practice but still give you a feel for figuring out the key of random songs, which helps for learning things by ear.

Lmk if you’ve got any specific questions!

Tofu has a pretty subtle flavor on its own, think of it more as a vehicle for sauces and marinades, and play around with different ways of cooking to get different texture

I regularly see politigram posts about how “actors are actually workers because they have bosses” and it makes me fucking crazy because any actor who is a household name has accumulated so much wealth that they are completely blinded by class interests. Many actors are workers, but Shia LeBouf is bourgeois swine

Monthly.

I’m broke 4 days before payday but only once a month so that’s cool.

Sorry it’s a redirect from a wapo piece that’s honestly not worth reading, the headline says it all, they blame increased crime on 100 less police officers and not a complete lack of social safety net in the face of economic collapse

Maybe, this is a wapo article that popped up in my apple news feed though

I figured we’d have to wait at least until Inauguration Day for libs to turn on blm

“Liberate”

If we were a developing country with that death toll in our prisons and any kind of resources, the US would be busting down our door to liberate us

Bravo friend, this is cool

Saw Ilhan tweeting about stoked she was, so I guess she’s cancelled again. Guy seems like another green-washed corporate dipshit

I have never seen those last two panels before

All great leftist memes are just chud takes about the left but unironically

Is this a bit

Just finished capitalist realism and realized my foundation for philosophy is non-existent. I still enjoyed it and learned some things, but I feel like I’m missing a huge piece without knowing shit about Lacan or any of the dozen other philosophers referenced
