What's the worst thing you've ever done?

The worst thing I've ever done, or rather happened to me, was an unfortunate reaction to prescription antidepressants called antidepressant induced mania (which happens to me if I take any SSRIs by themselves(they get me high)), the most severe of which occurred in 2011. The damn pills made me...

Do you manage to do very different tunings (like going from standard E to drop C and then back again) without messing with the springs in the back? Does that work without any problems?

Yes, but some people also remove the back cover and adjust the springs. If there was no removing the back cover, then it'd be okay. But the spring tensions is also something one is supposed to look out for.

That depends on where you live. The last place I was living in had high levels of humidity owing to a sea nearby. Metallic objects rust quite quickly.

Same here. I got it from someone, and though I could choose which guitar to get, I had no idea about the complexities of the Floyd Rose trem. Anyway, it's not like I want to change the tuning every few hours or days. I just want to be able to change it. That's all.

Sewing machine oil for pegs. Got it. They can be applied on the strings as well? Again, any differences between acoustic vs electric? The next thing is, I have a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo, but I have absolutely no idea how you tune it. Damn thing is a real pain. I've seen several...

Hi, I just wanted to know if there are certain oils that can be used on the strings and tuning pegs to prevent rusting? What kind of oils are safe to use on strings and tuning pegs? Coconut oil, machine oil etc. (?) Are there any negative effects of using them? Also, any differences...

I never learnt much from lessons either. All my gurus are on YouTube. They're more than enough if you want to learn guitar. Hell, Justin Sandercoe's YouTube tutorials can teach you all you need to know. There are others for other things, of course. A user named m169marroquin (on YouTube) is good...

Nephew is delusional about talent

Well, there are a couple factors at play here. The problems in living that a person faces, i.e. social issues, domestic problems, traumatic life experiences etc. A certain amount of biology at play in terms of a person's predisposition to anxiety, depression etc. Problems in living are not...

Nephew is delusional about talent

Good god, I didn't notice this was from 2013. I grew up in a very dysfunctional family as well (lots of conflict between parents; angry, loud, abusive father etc.). So, I kind of know what that feels like, but everyone's situation is a bit different. Some years ago, I was prescribed an SSRI...

Knockouts in movies. Knocking someone unconscious with no lasting damage.

Yes, I've seen movies with dragons, and spells, and aliens, and demons. I wasn't insinuating that what they show in movies are necessarily real. I was just inquiring if you can and how you can knock someone out without causing lasting damage, if this period of unconsciousness would last for a...

Knockouts in movies. Knocking someone unconscious with no lasting damage.

In movies, people sometimes knock their opponents out in such a manner that their opponents don't die and have no lasting damage. They just become unconscious (and wake up later). Is this something that can be done in practice? What kind of blows render a person unconscious without lasting damage?
