Hello,

I play a five string bass and have been trying to learn how to use a pick with it. I have searched all over google, YouTube, and Reddit threads trying to figure out how to keep the lower strings muted while using a pick. The majority of people seem to say that you’re supposed to use the pinky side of your palm to rest on the the strings lower than the one you are picking and to use your left hand to mute the higher strings.

I have tried several times and I just don’t see how you’re supposed to do this. I’m not sure if the way I pick is really messed up, put if I rest the pinky side of my palm on the lower strings, the thumb side of my palm ends up pressing into them as well when I pick.

I also don’t see how you can do this while keeping your picking hand relaxed since if I’m holding the pick in the “claw” position, my pinky ends up resting on the muted strings as well, but if I extend my fingers while keeping them relaxed, they end up gliding against the higher strings.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

thank you

Hello,

I recently got this camera and so fair I am loving it a lot, I just have one issue with it: none of the fn buttons work. I have tried mapping different functions to each one, as well as the red rec button, and no matter what I do, when I try to adjust them with the dials, they just adjust the settings that they normally would. I have tried looking online and can not find a solution to this problem.

I should note that my camera is on firmware version 1.3, although from what I’ve read, updating to version 1.4 only fixes some compatibility issues with a few lenses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

for my anthropology class, I have an assignment where I have to interview someone with different cultural experiences from me. I thought it would be interesting to interview a Jehova’s Witness since I have always been curious about the religion and I feel like culturally we have a lot of similarities as well as differences from one another (as someone who is not religious).

I was wondering if there was anyone here who would be willing to do a short written interview (through email or Google Docs or something like that). I have honestly put this assignment off for way too long and it’s due tonight so if anyone has the time it would be greatly appreciated.

thank you!
