The Guitar. My Guitar.
Never have i had a desire for anything or for anybody before. Never. And for the past few months, my fingers just couldnt stop fidgeting. It just keeps on air-guitaring riffs & licks. And once a second my mind isn't at thought, it goes straight to my beloved Ibanez. And from the Ibanez, it goes to my band. Then back to the Ibanez.
It is a great thing for me. To hear such a sound coming from the amplifier just brings me to neverland. Such a high feeling. And with a cup of latte as my accompaniant, it'd be bloody damn perfect.
If you noticed, when people know you're able to play an instrument (in this case, the guitar) the next Top 3 Qs would almost always be "So do you have a band?" , "What kind of songs you like" OR "So who's your favourite band?"
Not that it's wrong and i know they are trying to converse. Seriously, most of you might get all "bluek" or "why so many people ask this same shit?!"
But have you really thought why further? Like why is your favourite song YOUR favourite song? I noticed that many could play really well and some really too fucking well. And..i don't know. I mean..i admire them yea. I asked them stuff & they get all excited and stuff like " hey..wow..he's interested in what im doing..nice"
Then they'll ask me "So what's your influence in the music you're playing?"
"You mean what bands?"
"Yea..What bands?"
(I was waiting for the word..Inspired. What band INSPIRED me.)
Influence. Yes. Correct. But why I play is because of my inspiration of an individual/group.
(It's a Mr.Corgan if you're curious)
So i said.." Smashing Pumpkins, Avril Lavigne & Dixie Chicks."
Almost immediately they'll go wide eye on avril and almost popped out on hearing the Dixie Chicks.
"Dixie Chicks?"
What's wrong with dixie chicks? In any case..if you havent heard of their songs. Please give it a try. And watch their Live Concert. It's simply amazing. It's more rocking..yes MORE rocking than some ROCK bands. Please..please do not laugh at country music you metalhead moronic punk. I admit i did stereo-typed country music as "what the fuck". but when i heard 'em & watched them..."Fuhhhh". I was ashamed. Ashamed i actually stereotyped music genres when music is just ONE genre. Music itself. Ashamed because i really loved music.
So..thank you for reading this far. I hope i gave some form of encouragement for you to explore other genres you stereotyped before. You'll be amazed at what you have been missing.
