I have guitar class in high school and I'm tone deaf and have never touched a guitar in my life... fuck my luck...

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!

I just spent the last 3 hours practicing as much as I could and now my fingers are numb.

My inspiration for my last blog, the sad song I made, came from my time playing RDR2 and its Red Dead Online. My Grey haired Asian dressed in silver, black, and purple... and his trusty horse Silverfax...

Many of you will know that I have a black Encore stratocaster that I custom detailed and made my own by naming it Atomic Six, and you may also know from previous blogs in the past that I've been working on restoring it. Well, roughly two weeks ago, I finally set out to fix the issue by entirely removing the stock electrical system and replacing it with a fresh, new set, a fully-loaded scratchplate with new pickups and the like.

Okay, just for you musicians out there, I thought I'd show off a cool new way to play your guitar. I got one of these for my birthday, and I'm loving it. Introducing... The Firefly Pick

(Hmm, wonder once I get good enough at playing certain songs in their entirety, I should start putting up YouTube videos of me actually playing the songs... Your opinions?)

While cleaning my room from the old stuff, I ended up finding a Polish-German dictionary eleven guitar picks total, some of them in pretty random places. Those aren’t all the picks I ever owned, so I guess the rest is either lost forever, or they’re plotting to take over the world. Anyway, here’s the eleven I found:

In almost every single guitar video I see on YouTube, I always see one specific comment below,

Don't play it when you're wearing a studded jacket! You'll scratch the finish against your buttons and your zip!

Anybody out there ever taken a guitar lesson from a pro before? I was considering going in to learn a few new things from somebody who's been doing it longer than me, but then I saw...this.

Last month in October, it was my birthday, and I came home with one of my favourite guitars. There's a new guitar shop directly around the corner from my house, so it's a perfect deal if I need new pedals, cables, straps, leads or cleaning equipment and / or cases, so I ended up going over there with my guitar to see how much I could get for it.

A very impulsive decision I made late at night, please enjoy "Loyalty".

Did I surprise any of you that I can play guitar? I can also play trumpet, french horn, learning the Kalimba, and am an amateur at the piano.

Hey kids, been awhile and I know I haven't been writing.

But I'm going through some things right now and I've been stressing. Despite that though I've been wondering, is it write to ask for money for writing fanfics?

2024 has come, and with it came Japan's biggest earthquake since 2011. We got hit by a whopping 7.6 on the Noto peninsula in Ishikawa prefecture at about 4:15PM on January 1st.

If I tell you the author I was assigned for Jinglemas is the only fimfiction author I have a T-shirt bearing the name of, then that rather gives his identity away, doesn't it?

It's rather nice to be assigned an author who you've read several stories by. It increases the pressure, I suppose, but it also gives you a clearer idea of what to aim for.

Here's the new baby I've been talking about. Well, I say 'baby', but what I really mean is 'heavy hunka wood'. Only got it the other day, so I've been sat having a go with it. Fingers hurt like hell, as I'm not used to the fat strings of a bass, me being a guitarist, but it sounds really great, save for a little fret buzz, but that's all good. I like a rough sound. Dare I say it; I found it quite fun to play, like when I first learned to play the guitar.

Right, so I did mention that there was a guitar that I've been hunting down for two years since I knew they existed, but I never actually showed anybody a picture of it. Well, wait no longer! Here she is -

This time I covered, "My Past Is Not Today." A song that everybody could learn a lesson off of Also for those wondering why the video is unavailable to some of you, it's because the song is blocked in 244 different countries.

Okay, so following the previous blog about what was happening, I went in today on my way home from work to see what was going on with my guitar. The owner of the shop was going to have a look at it, and he's very thorough, so I know he wouldn't bullshit me or anything.

Here's what he said to me: my guitar is completely fake. Not just the branding, but literally everything.

I'm pretty sure I may have broached the subject before but I'll ask it again. How do you guys feel about romance in this universe? I have my own ideas in mind but I am hesitant to try and officially implement them since I know the subject of shipping can be a volatile mistress. And while I do like to do what I want in terms of what direction I take the story, I get this feeling that one wrong ship and things could go terribly wrong.
