LOL, what the heck kind of group am I apart of now. This reminds me! I'll tell you something that annoys me. People who take life too seriously, LOL!
Shazam is crap at identifying songs!! I've resorted to it on about half a dozen occasions since I downloaded and it hasn't recognised a single damn one so far!
Who cares about gloves? Try having small hands and playing a 12-string guitar! Such is my fate, alas... Before I shuffle off this mortal coil, I swear I will commission a luthier to build me a 12-string guitar that better fits my hands. Or a surgeon to stretch my fingerbones. Or I'll learn to accompany myself on an ocarina, but I'm not sure I have enough mouths to do that. Music is hard.
Playing the guitar is impossible. I've tried. What we see when we watch other folk 'playing' the guitar is mere illusion and trickery.
It depends on what you're playing. Rock, punk, and folk are easy as pie. Classical, jazz, and virtuoso... not so much. I have small hands too, but I make them work. I can't barre the neck with the top joint of my pinky like Hendrix, or stretch slurs across seven frets, but I can hold my own. Bass is another matter, like @Cave Troll said. And a 12 sting can get tough because you have a wider area (two strings close together instead of one) to cover with your fingertips. The real tough part about music is understanding the keys and progressions and switching between them as if they're second nature.
Snow chaos in Sweden... I know, I know, I should be used to this after 26 years, but it's almost March! Get a grip on yourself, weather!
Restaurants that blast loud music so I have to shout to actually order anything. "I would like a taco please!" "Sorry, what was that?" "A TACO, PLEASE!" "Nachos. Got it. Anything else?" "NO, A TACO!" I just realized this is my second restaurant-related post here. I never realized I had so many restaurant issues.
People who call my home state "Cali". It shouldn't annoy me, because people don't realize the only people who call it that are people who do not live there, so they're just trying to relate. But it grates on my nerves and always comes off like something one of the most annoying people from that show The Jersey Shore would say.
Said with the accent in the right place, it sounds vaguely French. We could be all mysterious and underground... Very California Clique.
People on Southern California radio stations. They keep referring to the whole area as "the Southland" and they talk about mythical bullshit places like "the Inland Empire" and they use terms like Sig Alert. I get really annoyed by all this. It's somehow totally un-Canadian.
Excuse me! as someone who is also a Native Californian, born and raised. I have always called our home state "Cali" or "SoCal" since "NoCal" Sucks. And I live in that Mythical Bullshit place called "The Inland Empire", we are a Republic, a Federation of Cities, we use Empire to intimidate our enemies, mainly those from NoCal. We also raise the GyGia-Rottweiler, a beast of massive size and strength, just don't let it's tan dimple marks fool you, they are vicious creatures that require constant belly scratches to keep pacified. We use them to Hunt NoCals and Hobbits, those thieving creatures. Sig is code for pending NoCal Invasion.
I lived in the Inland Empire as a kid. It was the first place we ever lived in in CA, and I always liked baddass the mythical sound of it too. You really say it? Maybe it's a thing by locale then? You are seriously the only person I've ever met from CA who says Cali.
