Next time you're talking to a capture-the-whole-board believer, if you want to blow their mind, first do some basic combinatorics to explain how many captures you'd need for the variation on a basic board; then ask them how many positions there are on a wah.

Just play the guitar, dude. I haven’t bought an effects pedal since 1995. The ones I got second hand back then for £25 still sound great.

Depends on the genre and what settings you play in. If you have the right amp, you may not need any pedals at all for the blues, or jazz, etc. But other styles have different expectations. And there’s nothing wrong with experimentation. There’s a lot of analogue pedals that haven’t meaningfully changed since 1995, but if we’re talking about anything digital, there’s obviously been big changes.

"stop having fun improving yourself and learning and doing great things"

thanks for the amazing advice! will drop everything & get right on that.

Interesting, but both the writing and the code are probably authored with LLMs.
