  • I have no issue with communists. I’m in the anti capitalist camp myself.

    I guess all I’m trying to say is idealising nations as utpoian is unrealistic and demonizig them as dystopian is equally as unfair.

    There are obviously exceptions where governments do treat their citizens like trash. I don’t like what America is doing at the moment. I try not to think in binaries generally, learning not to anyway



  • Unlike this picture, real life contains many shades of grey. There are some areas that could be improved but in other areas they excel about any other nation. It’s not black and white.

    Life doesn’t have to be about identity and this picture screams “my identity is a tankie”, which is cool but just means it’s shit bias. Equally, saying a generic “China bad” screams that someone doesn’t alot about its politics

    Travis picking is your best bet for learning finger picking to begin with. Its the foundation of basically all finger picking aside from classical.

    Some basic tips:

    1. First and fore most and most importantly. Make sure your using the right fingering from the start. Your thumb plays the low E, the A, and D. Index plays G, middle plays B, and ring finger plays high e. I know it’s tough at first but it will set you up for more advanced picking later on
    2. Start slow. Practice the exercises with a metronome and move up 5bpm at a time.

    I just made this to explain what I mean about finger positions

    If you can get hold of this book, you’ll be in great hands. Work through the exercises day by take. I think I have a digital copy
