Can Hear You But I’m Listening Cat And Coffee Shirt
I read the first few paragraphs of the original post and then stopped when the poster said there was no continuous plot (there was – the threat of Hybern and the war, and then the human queens. Although so far anything beyond the original three feel like an afterthought). The thing that this review calls to mind for me is that many people really don’t get the concept of different books for different purposes. I see a lot of people claiming that anything less than highbrow literary fiction is a waste of time, and this is a huge shame. There is space for all types of books and actually a need for it. I read War and Peace for its cultural value, fantasy for the creative novelty, mystery for the titillation, and romantic smut when I need something easy late at night. ACOTAR (and SJM in general) is not highbrow literature. It’s not super original and yes there are issues with the characters. But does that mean there’s no place for it in the world of fiction? You know who else wasn’t super original? Shakespeare. The Grimm brothers. I haven’t heard much criticism towards them lately. The point of fairy tales (Beauty and the Beast, Tam Lin) is that they are classic and they hold up through time and there’s a million ways to tell them. And for a character who has literally, literally, 250 words on the page, it’s not the worst thing in the world for Papa Archeron to not have a name. Remember in TOG with the king didn’t have a name for the whole series? There was a reason for that. Who’s to say this isn’t similar? And even if it isn’t, no writer is perfect and thinks of every single thing, and if that’s what people are waiting for, then they’ll be waiting a long time. Anyway this has become a ramble and I’m sure some of the things I’ve mentioned here aren’t concerns of the original poster. This is obviously an issue for me. I don’t want to be judged for reading faerie smut and being thought of as vapid, because guess what? I have two masters degrees and I read Literature, and sometimes I just want to read about hot intense faeries fucking. (Prolific romance writer Ali Hazelwood has a PhD in neuroscience, for gods sake) The point is that sure, much of what OP claims may be true and there is some stuff wrong with ACOTAR because it’s not perfect and that’s okay. It’s okay that they disliked it enough to write a whole thing about it because sometimes you just have Opinions that stick in your brain until you get them out. (For the record, I did notice that OP said they didn’t fault anyone for enjoying the books). But just people (us, them, everyone) need to stop getting so hung up about it all. It doesn’t bother them if we read ACOTAR. it doesn’t bother us if they don’t like it. Everyone should read what they want and let others read what they want and just fuck anyone who makes you feel like you should or shouldn’t like something.

Assuming it’s a small amp in the Can Hear You But I’m Listening Cat And Coffee Shirt it doesn’t make much of a difference anyway in regards to working for practice. As others have said, your fretting wrist is in a really bad position which will eventually injure you. Proper hand/wrist position as well as bass height on the strap will make it a lot easier to play this song. It’ll cause less contortion of your fingers lol. I’d also throw in this: if you’re going for a jaco-like sound, your plucking technique is going to get in the way, both in regards to harmonics and general speed. When I play this tune it’s just my index and sometimes my middle finger doing the plucking across the harmonics. A really strong but nuanced pluck, which if done without strong enough calluses, gives blisters with just one playthrough. I like to think of it as a shallow but strong slightly hook-like pluck, just on the harmonics. With strong enough chops, it makes the harmonics ring very clearly. If looking at my plucking hand from my own perspective, with the palm facing me, the callus on my index finger is especially hard/thick on the top right portion of the finger. Same for my middle though it’s more evenly distributed. It’s hard to explain, especially to a beginner who doesn’t have the plucking fundamentals down yet, because you don’t have the foundations for me to properly explain what’s going on vs. what needs to happen. Another area to focus: the harmonics around the 4th fret. Those need to be targeted more accurately, since he does the more discordant one just a little bit away from the 4th fret in that section near the end of your playing in the video. But you’ve barely even started playing bass, so don’t take my constructive criticisms of your playing as being harsh, putting you down, or anything like that. You’re a fresh beginner trying to start with an advanced piece that is demanding on the chops of even seasoned players. Go right ahead and do it – you like what you like. To practice harmonics plucking, accuracy, clarity, and speed techniques, try playing Jaco’s bassline from Onkonkolé y Trompa, which is all harmonics. It’s like a warmup for Portrait of Tracy. Jaco himself even lead into Portrait like that in many live shows – starting off with a little Onkonkolé y Trompa. Make sure to lift your harmonics fingering fingers right off of the string the moment you pluck the harmonics – this also improves clarity. It’s not an easy piece and you’re doing better than probably >99% of beginners would with it, but due to the demanding quality of the song, it will mess up your hands and wrist if done improperly for too long.
