| * rick_h has lessons so no go here | 15:32 | |
| cmaloney | Yeah, figured as much. :) | 15:32 |
| jrwren | rick_h: oooh! where you taking lessons? private? | 15:32 |
| rick_h | guitar lessons at the local music shop | 15:33 |
| rick_h | yea, instructors rent out room space there | 15:33 |
| jrwren | cool. | 15:33 |
| jrwren | yeah, I saw your books pic. | 15:33 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 15:33 |
| rick_h | https://goo.gl/photos/7j3sgXNNR8YXLWeu8 | 15:34 |
| rick_h | the boy in his | 15:34 |
| jrwren | I feel like I've hit a platau on self taught. I should probably get some instruction | 15:34 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: Where are you taking lessons? | 15:34 |
| rick_h | I find that even if I'm mostly just going through the books, a lesson is on the calendar and I get to bug someone with questions/etc | 15:34 |
| rick_h | http://www.mccourtsmusic.com/ in waterford | 15:34 |
| cmaloney | Was wondering if we might know the instructor since JoDee taught flute at Evola | 15:35 |
| rick_h | http://www.mccourtsmusic.com/eric-lockhart.html | 15:36 |
| rick_h | is the guy I'm working with atm | 15:36 |
| rick_h | though not sure it's going to work out. I need a bit more hand holding I think than his "well you could do this *riff/riff/riff* did you see what I did there?" | 15:36 |
| rick_h | and i'm going "ummm, so this is D right?" | 15:37 |
| cmaloney | heh | 15:37 |
| cmaloney | I completely understand that | 15:37 |
| jrwren | yup, getting past absolute basics takes a while too. especially with only spuradic practice times. | 15:37 |
| rick_h | I've been good at 30min a day for the couple of weeks so far | 15:37 |
| rick_h | hopefully will be able to keep at it | 15:37 |
| rick_h | put the boy down for bed, play for 30min | 15:38 |
| jrwren | that is good. that will get you learning very quickly. | 15:38 |
| rick_h | the big thing is that there's so much to work on | 15:38 |
| rick_h | notes, songs, chords, etc | 15:38 |
| jrwren | yup | 15:38 |
| jrwren | have you played with yousician at all? it is fun | 15:38 |
| rick_h | so feel like taking a nibble off a giant cake and wondering if you're making a dent in it | 15:38 |
| rick_h | no, I just found the tabs android app and having fun getting a bit lost in that lately | 15:38 |
| rick_h | oh hmm, app for your computer eh? | 15:40 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, there's a lot of musician applications for the computer | 15:40 |
| cmaloney | Jorge had something that would allow you to plug in a bass to play along with music | 15:41 |
| cmaloney | Sort of like Rock Band / Guitar Hero, but with a real instrument, and more forgiving | 15:41 |
| _stink_ | sorry, but computers will never catch on. they are too hard to use. | 15:42 |
| rick_h | nice | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: I'm waiting for the Soroban to make a comeback | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | nice clean interface | 15:42 |
| _stink_ | yes! and satisfying sound effects. | 15:43 |
| cmaloney | Had a second interview with a company. Whee. | 16:19 |
| rick_h | woot! | 16:20 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: nice | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | We'll see | 16:51 |
| cmaloney | it's referral marketing, so it already feels dirty | 16:51 |
| cmaloney | but then again, I worked for Market Research for 4 years 8 months (but who's counting) so ... ;) | 16:52 |
| greg-g | :) | 16:52 |
| greg-g | for a few months before grad school I temp'd at a market research firm, doing semi-cold calls (to people already in our database, but still) doing the pre-screen interview. Such horrible work. | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | Also learning that I need to follow the "folk" tag on Bandcamp as some metal-esque bands don't tag as metal | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | Blergh | 16:53 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Which firm, if I might ask? | 16:53 |
| greg-g | oh god... uh | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Where was it located? | 16:54 |
| greg-g | something in minneapolis, a small outfit | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Ah, OK | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Thought it might have been Morpace. ;) | 16:54 |
| greg-g | all they did was: get the right demographic, bring them in to do the in-person group interview thing, summarize and send report to the company | 16:54 |
| cmaloney | Yup | 16:55 |
