Geetar.
Before I even thought of purchasing one, I knew it would be years before I could successfully play anything recognisable as an actual song on the guitar. I bought a cheap acoustic off eBay, and thought think it needs seriously tuned before it can sound like anything other than a cheap acoustic. I bought an expensive (for me bitches) electric off eBay for cheap and it sounds pretty fucking cool.
That's right, I've found a way to be pretty fucking cool.
That was after several beers too, just keep that in mind.
Thus far, I've successfully played, from start to finish, where you can recognise them as an actual song:
- Opportunity - Pete Murray
- Iggle Piggle Song - Some Fuckwit
- Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel
- Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Stand By Me - Ben E. King
Now I'm utilising Google for a lesson in frustration on "how to make a guitar make the surfer sound". Finding nothing, hence the frustration.
So, the real reason I'm actually even posting this fine Sunday evening is because I wanted to brag that I played a whole song already (after roughly 6 weeks of geetar ownership) and tell you how fucking cool I am now (shoosh, repetition makes it more true), and to also make the exact phrase, "how to make a guitar make the surfer sound", show up in Google's search results in a few days.
Oh, and to say that I like building things and dressing up like I'm somebody from history and fighting with swords. Yeah, I know you probably knew that, but saying it out loud is part of the steps.
Smoochiebabies.
Go hug someone you love because deep inside they want to be a rock star because they think that would impress you.
