My actual worse impulse, or what I currently think is the worst?

mh, Monday, 18 January 2010 15:20 (sixteen years ago)

You gotta figure that part out yourself.

wanna be shartin' somethin' (WmC), Monday, 18 January 2010 15:21 (sixteen years ago)

mine would be "talk too much about self," which is my usual m.o., so...done!

Maria, Monday, 18 January 2010 15:23 (sixteen years ago)

you need riskier impulses

Take away the elements in order of apparent non-importance

the end times are coming, but they're just the beginning (WmC), Thursday, 28 January 2010 14:47 (sixteen years ago)

Might as well say "apparent importance", he needs to specify if it's most or least important first.

dude how many different ways are there to hold a pick? am i missing something with the whole 'between thumb and index finger'?

Anton Levain (jdchurchill), Monday, 1 February 2010 18:54 (sixteen years ago)

There's some specific pick technique RF teaches in Guitar Craft; the angle and grip have to be just-so.

that is not a strategy

that's true

I do like these in theory, but in practice lots of them seem to mistake vapidity for obliqueness.

take me to your lemur (ledge), Tuesday, 2 February 2010 15:55 (sixteen years ago)

keeping it in mind could be a strategy though

StanM, Sunday, 7 February 2010 16:43 (sixteen years ago)

It's more of a general guide than a direction, I guess.
