Ha!!!! I was trying to pinpoint who he reminded me of…and it hit me, Hogsqueal from The Spiderwick Chronicles, which was voiced by nine other than Seth Rogan.

I love the Piano Duel in “The Legend of 1900”. It’s broken into multiple videos on YouTube.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3 (sorry….terrible quality)

TD, this is real. We absolutely cannot have a nickname that uses a derogatory slur such as “h****y”. It’s racist and eff all you people who thinks it’s funny.

Why don’t we just settle on something that isn’t offensive to so many??

I’m thinking “Cracker Backer”.

“Although the curch likes our concept they feel our commitment towards directing these resources towards Black and Indigenous families ONLY is exclusionary to other POC & White members of the community that use their establishement.”

Yes, they “feel” like it’s exclusionary because it IS, dumb-dumb.

With that, her campaign should be over.

When I have a student who struggles with rhythm, I keep everything basic for a long time. Start with quarter notes, all downstrokes, counts 1…2…3…4…repeat. You should be using mostly wrist, but a little arm movement, too. Then, take out one of the quarter notes: 1…2…3…(rest)…

The key is to not rush through the rest, so everyone telling you to use a metronome is right. Better yet, YouTube a drum backing track and play along with that. Like this one LINK. One thing you’ll notice about the drum beat, the snare hits on counts 2 & 4. Your rhythm should also have a slightly emphasized attack on those counts (at least while you get the basics down).

Then move on to 8th note rhythms, which will use upstrokes. The counts are 1.&.2.&.3.&.4.&. with the 1 2 3 4’s being downstrums and all the &’s being upstrokes. So, your rhythm should sound twice as fast as when you were playing quarters.

Btw…the reason we use our wrist is to change the angle of pick so it glides over the strings more proficiently…which is huge in guitar playing. No wasted motions.

Then, start taking the &’s out one at a time like: 1…2.&.3.&.4.&. making sure you’re arm motion is steady and consistent. You should focus on down up down up down up down up regardless of the rhythm that you’re using. So, for this rhythm, you’ll go down, down up down up down up.

Continue taking &’s out…ie 1.&.2.&.3…4.&. Etc

If you’re struggling to keep up, SLOW DOWN. Find a slower drumbeat, dial the metronome back. You have to crawl before you can run. Don’t move on to another rhythm until you can do each one comfortably.

Then start taking out the downstrokes one at a time. This is where it gets tricky because those downstrums are so predominant. So, try 1.&…&.3.&.4.&. Where count “2” was is now a down strum where you DON’T actually strum the strings. This will take you a bit to really get down.

When you’ve got all the above mastered, the next step is to put them together and take out some down strums, as well as up strums. This is the most popular rhythm in guitar:
1…2.&…&.4.&.

It’s down, down up, up down up. A TON of beginner songs will have this rhythm. Pro tip: slight accent on counts 2 and 4 as mentioned earlier, just like the snare drum!!!

I hope that all makes sense. It’s easier to explain and demonstrate in person. It all takes practice, patience and time. Cheers and best of luck!!!
