Prison _hot_ | R/one Bar

. Why We Get Stuck The "One-Bar Prison" is a trap of instant gratification. Because a short loop is easy to polish, it sounds "finished" much sooner than a complex arrangement does.

I’m not deleting this. I know it’s dramatic. I know someone will comment "sir, this is a Wendy's." But for the other guys reading this, standing on their own invisible baseplates, shoulders aching: try bending your knees. Just a little. Let the cuff pull. Let it hurt. You might find that the pole isn't infinitely tall. It's just a pole. And you are not the weight. You are the person who chose to pick it up. And you can choose to put it down.
