@fflavio Interesting! As has come up on another branch in this thread, I know it’s that’s done for maps. Two errors in eleven bars seems quite a lot though 😅

@shift_reset Absolutely! I was thinking of the map companies when I suggested it.
I also suspect the business model around tab books is (well, used to be) “get it done as quick and cheap as possible so we can sell lots of books”. Quality is bound to suffer.

I’ve got quite a lot of guitar sheet music/tab books. I learned the songs from them basically fine. But now I’m teaching and really digging into the details, I’m finding quite regular mistakes. They range from transcriptions which are plain wrong, with notes not on the recording, to technical errors eg. incorrect bar durations. Two errors in the first 11 bars of Nothing Else Matters in the official Cherry Lane book alone!
I wonder if they added mistakes on purpose to detect theft?

Really thrilled with my youngest student - for the first time, I played her a short phrase, she concentrated on what interval she was hearing, and applied her knowledge of fretboard interval shapes to accurately play back to me what I’d just played. No fumbling or hunting. Really pleased for her.

@jansandstorm Not sure yet! Greene himself recommends not getting too bogged down so I imagine I’ll tackle a few each week - maybe a chord a day - and just see where I wind up. As he says, it’s about the application rather than sheer vocabulary.

@meljoann It certainly looks like it! And I love the hand-written and drawn chord diagrams. You wouldn’t get typesetting like this in a modern book. Lovely.
I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the actual content as well of course!

New book day! And this man has an excellent beard, so I have confidence in the book’s content.

Well, this is a deceptively tricky little lick. Looks simple enough - almost a scale run - but moves between 2 and 3 notes per string. I could strictly alternate pick it (which is how the original was played) but that does mean changing the pick escape direction in the second half while moving from the B to the D string. Or, cheat, and pull some of the notes off, which means I don’t need to change the pick angle. Hmm…

@sanityinc Yeah, those are the buggers. They’re a right pain to change. I finally managed it, after almost skewering my finger with a screwdriver a few times. Have you changed them on yours? Happy to hear any tips to make it easier next time…

I just feel it's worth congratulating #bristol council and #firstbus #firstgroup for managing to set the car park and bus fares at that precise point where it’s still cheaper for me to drive and park (not to mention massively more convenient) to get my family into town rather than getting the bus, which is presumably what they set out to do. Nice one.

In case anyone's interested, I made a Big Ol’ Playlist of everyone I could find on Tidal who’s playing at #ArcTanGent this year:
https://tidal.com/playlist/e6042138-c70d-48e1-b672-28c2e34ab231
(Tidal has an increasing problem with artist mix-ups, but hopefully I weeded out the couple that sneaked in - let me know if you see any mistakes).
I daresay one of the many playlist exporters could convert this into your music platform of choice.

@stancarey I loved that trilogy. I remember revelling in three pages just describing a room. Fabulous.

Headsup - Bitnami have just removed a load of docker tags/images from Docker Hub. If you use any Bitnami images it's worth checking that you're still going to be able to start new containers and update image references.
We'd built a system using Redis, and it's now broken because of this.
We'd normally push third-party images to our own registry but it looks like someone forgot to do that in this case (that someone being me). Don't be like me.
