@bigsocrates: Yeah it's certainly a time and place thing--and also that I was a bit young for the earlier Burnout games. Paradise was my exposure to the series and the first full game I just bought and downloaded online (I think I used my Dad's credit card and slid $30 under his bedroom door)

For those reasons it's such an important game for me personally, and playing it again made all those feelings come flooding out again.

I learned to play by just finding tabs for songs I liked and starting extremely slow and slowly increasing the speed I would play to train my dexterity, usually using a guided video or just footage of someone playing the song to help with my timing and technique. Eventually when I was more comfortable with the neck I started reading more and watching more theory which led to practicing scales, learning improvisation, etc.

Ultimately the way to learn to play guitar is to play the guitar. The hardest parts are getting your hands to sync up, stretching out your fingers and developing the callouses on your fingertips.

I'd stray away from trying to learn some Satch or Vai though, unless you're ready to really hunker down and destroy your hands. They usually require a few more advanced techniques to increase speed that elude even some veteran guitarists. That being said, I remember learning Satch's Summer Song when I was a youngun and having a blast with that. In any case, stick with music you like but that has a simpler structure and more riff based instead of improvisation based.

Best of luck! The guitar is super fun and extremely versatile; I love it.

I love shirts and I love 2008

Also, this just occurred to me for the Talk Over State of Play, if it's a video like that where there is an element of mystery to the games in the video, it would be nice if that could be hidden at first just in case someone would rather not be spoiled. Especially with press conferences coming up, I know I like going into those things without knowing what the games are going to be.

Might have it be a preference so people can toggle it on if they don't care and want the information right there.

Whoops, thought I would get notifications for this and yet.

Anyway here is the link to the discord reap3r made https://discord.gg/cPdr25a

and for the record: I have only played casual so far except for some placements here and there but I am looking to transition into playing more seriously in ranked.

I can easily transition to relaxed fun times though for casual games.

Is there a GB R6 discord? If not, would y'all like to have one? I've been playing this game for a while now but never really had a consistent group to play with.

I WAAANT IT

not by any means a good game but listen to this cacophonous journey of pure auditory anxiety

Thanks y'all for the kind words!

I'm gonna go with a probs not on that one.

essentially yeah! this was written in a flurry over the course of a few hours in a day so I figured it wouldn't be the most tightly written.

also you stole that pun right outta my back pocket ;;
