Your way of holding the pick always seemed very unorthodox to me. Why are you trying to change it though?

I have been aware of my weird hold for a long time but only recently has it started to bother me. I've come to realise that the way I'm used to holding the pick hinders me from developing certain techniques. I have grown accustomed to holding the pick with three fingers, but ultimately, I think I can gain more control over the pick and play fast with more ease if I go over to a more classic hold.

Saap, I never properly learned how to play guitar, which means my wrist technique is complete bunk - trying to retrain myself so that I can actually tremelo pick is a nightmare.

Funny, the inability to tremolo pick consistently is what inspired me to change in the first place.

Good luck, Saap! I know it's a constant uphill battle for me. Honestly, at this point I've resigned myself to being more of a groove and feeling player. It's why I can't touch anything remotely thrashy or most metal guitar solos with a 10 ft. pole.

Pretty wild temperature swings here. Last week we had +10, now it's -20. Brr.

It's going to be above 10 degrees F. for a few days then back up above 20. At least the super huge snowstorms so far have skipped us.

Every state ranked by how miserable its winters are. And guess who's number 1!

Wow, Illinois only at 13? Nice.

I go out last night without a cap for half an hour and immediately I get a sore throat. This morning it feels like I'm swallowing rocks.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon. I usually don't have it like this unless I go out with wet hair.

10F means nothing to me.

Thanks. Never happened to me this fast. At least it's just the throat. It's flu season around here, even the school break got extended because of it.

Bought new headphones today. Switched to a headset after 10 years of earplug usage.

One day later and they're broken already.

This is taking the piss at this point.

Did someone sit on them?

2017 how could you do this? #RIPheadphones #PrayForTheFlash

Did someone sit on them?

For all I know, I probably broke them by staring at them.

Is the cap significant here? Either way, time to find someone to sit on your face in the right kind of way.

Well it was windy as fuck.

Never go out without a hat in winter!

I was just thinking that Katatonia's time signature changes were a lot more abstract than I remember, when I realised the CD was scratched.

I never wear hats. I can't stand them.

But your ears, don't they freeze?
