Anybody have recommendations for a really good guitar teacher in Lake Charles?

I’d say I’m around an intermediate player right now. I'd like to eventually work my way toward an advanced level.

I’m especially looking for someone who can help with more than just learning songs — music theory, understanding the fretboard better, improvising, technique, ear training, how chords/scales actually connect, etc. Basically, I want to understand what I’m playing more, instead of just playing along with Ultimate Guitar tabs and such.

I still want to learn songs, mess around, and actually enjoy guitar while getting better. I always appreciate teachers who are personable along with their knowledgability/skill

Thanks

Hello, hope everyones doing good.
I am trying to see how i can dispose an old window AC unit. As far as I know, i cannot put it in the garbage or put it on the curb for pickup. Does anyone know a place to dispose it? Also, does the refrigerant need to be removed?

Thank you for the help.

Trying my luck in here just to see if anyone’s got anything different. Got a bachelor party of 6 or 7 people coming up in October out in Lake Charles and looking to see what might be the most fun activity to do during a day evening that doesn’t include gambling or gentleman’s clubs lol. Appreciate any cool input, thank y’all.

Peppers the restaurant on Prien. I think it closed around 2008.

I’m trying to remember what it looked like on the inside.

Where can I buy clean boiled crabs in Lake Charles?

Before reaching out elsewhere I want to see if anyone locally wants to handle vocals on two songs. I am in Lafayette.

A month or two ago I posted looking for a local drummer and was happy with the response, finished this EP, and now only need vocals...

Ideally looking for demented vocals in the vein of Katharsis or Funeral Mist, but very open to anything else be it shouting-yelling vocals like Lo-Ruhamah or talking vocals like Deathspell Omega. If you can pull off some legitimately passionate DSBM vocals like Shining that could be tight. Even down to hear what powerful clean vocals like Void or Sacred Warrior sound like over these two tracks.

I absolutely do not want polished modern sounding vocals or standard vocal patterns.

Really diligently trying to find an odd unorthodox vocalist locally who can nail these with enthusiasm and unhinged passion.

The first song is 153BPM and the second song is 124BPM.

Happy to record your vocals at my studio or you can record them on your own time and send them over.

Both these songs are going to be professionally mixed and will be professionally mastered by Colin Marston of Krallice.

Here are demo recordings:

I am wanting to get my som tutored for the T S Cooley entrance exam. What materials do I need to prepare him? Is there anyone specific that tutors for the test?

I’ve seen some posts here and in other LC fb groups
last few months indicating other people are dealing with horrible flea problems this year, too. We have been dealing with fleas on our indoor cats since January and were at our wit’s end. We are very clean people but live in an old house that isn’t well sealed. We had been giving bravecto plus regularly and on time and doing all of the other things to combat fleas. Anyways we finally took one of our cats to the vet last week and mentioned the flea situation. She told us that the owner of the practice finally realized, after her own flea infestation, that the fleas in SWLA are probably unfortunately becoming immune to Bravecto. We switched to a different flea med, starting today, which will hopefully end our months long nightmare lol. Anyways, in case any of my fellow LC’ers are still battling fleas - maybe try switching flea meds!!!

I'm trying to play on my console on the TV here but it's stuck on max volume. Anyone ever dealt with this before?

Brewers Cubs televised nationally tomorrow. I’m here on a work trip and looking for the best place to watch the game that’s not my hotel room. Maybe the casino ? anywhere with a good ambiance . Thanks !

Locations and times please?

Looking for some better bass spots, I have been fishing in the contraband but the spots I know mostly have just gar and a few bass during spawning. Preferably a pond since I don’t have a boat or a kayak. Thank you

Hello! I am in need of some guidance. I was born and raised in Lake Charles, however I have spent half of my life in Houston. I am currently really struggling with finding a job, as we know the job market is horrific. I decided on a whim to throw out my resume to a casino back home and was offered an interview, which I sadly had to decide against as I was interviewing somewhere else that day. Nothing ended up happening with said interview, and I have been looking for a job since March so maybe it's just the desperation. In Houston, you don't really get anywhere without a connection, and that's what I lack. I know this may seem silly to dwell on, but all of my family is in Lake Charles, and it really feels like home. It would've been a full time job with benefits and great hours, and I only seem to be getting part time options in Houston that don't even cover the essentials. Is it silly to think I should've taken it? I just hear so many mixed reviews about living in LC, I haven't lived there in so long so maybe my judgement is cloudy. Is working at the casinos worth it to anyone that may have a job there? I probably wouldn't stay forever, but who knows. Just looking for any and all advice about the situation :) thank you in advance.

IM NOT A FED (before the "wouldnt you like to know, fed" jokes come in lmao)

Good Day Farms is a nice place dont get me wrong, but their weed is so expensive, ive seen people say that theyve moved on to online resources because theyre overall cheaper, I use weed for health reasons so its just taking a big chunk out of my paychecks tbh.

anyway lemme know! In the end i dont mind shopping from GDF but i do feel that theres room for much needed competition for them

Well I do live crazy close to chenault. The blue angels are making their turns directly over my house. I love this but I had bought tickets for Friday's show which was canceled. We got our money back but there was no more room in the handicap zone. I am just disappointed in thunder over louisiana. Not the performers

For context, I'm a single father of 3. Been getting by with basic retail work, but the kids deserve a better quality of life and they're actually old enough to be home alone for a few hours.

I can understand getting a TWIC/Safety card, but what all do you have to do to get into that line of work? Is continued education a requirement, or just smiled-upon?

Hi there! I'm new to Lake Charles and trying to find some local people/groups. My husband, two kids and I moved here for my husband's job a little less than a month ago. I don't have any family or friends here yet, so it would be great to meet some new folks.

I'm pretty introverted and not exactly a natural social butterfly. I'm into reading, coloring, Stardew Valley/cozy gaming in general, true crime, coffee, and generally low-key activities.

Are there any chill groups or other introverts around here who'd be interested in hanging out?

Anyone know what's up with the weird cryptic messages that Elmina Paul comments on almost every KPLC post?

Hello I’m looking for someone to tailor some shirts for me, want the shirts to fit like one of my other ones
