Music@lemmy.world•anyone else learning fingerpicking as a self-taught player?English
7·25 days agoYes
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:
- 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
- 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

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is Radicale and how do I use it?English
1·1 month agoYeah I hear you. I’ve installed it but I have no idea what to do from here. Cant access any kind of dash. I’ve just learnt it doesn’t have a native dash but you need a third party app for that?

Does Radicale have a dashboard?
Alot of truth to this sadly. Corps highjacked any kind of social movements they could to sell more shit. It has nothing to do with the community and everything to do with the Epstein class extracting as much money they can out of people
