Lyranor Sucks should be a song!

Hey I like that song! I air guitared to it all the effing time!

I can now pretty much play Oasis' Wonderwall now too!

I was having fun with my amp and cranked up the gain and did a ragey metal version of Leaving on a Jet Plane hehe.

The Squier was a gift, cost me 0 dollars, and seems to be working just fine for making me want to play more.

Some good scale practice, as well as some arpeggio practice. It seems last kiss does the D as an arpeggio during the chorus. Struggle a bit with it but it'll come.

I like my women like I like my alcohol: A hard liquor.

Who says only girls just want to have fun!!

Nope, she's not haha.

Well for better or worse my girl seems friendly again haha

Unless you want to be cool!

I guess it was hella cheap. My Mom went to the store to pick up picks, a capo, and a tuner, and then just asked about the price of a new guitar and an amp. Upon finding out the price, she phoned my Dad and asked if it was a deal, and after finding out it came with an amp among other things, my Dad said yup without even looking at it haha.

Sweet my parents got me a Fender Squier for my birthday! (though when tuning it I tightened the strings too tight and when playing the high e string broke ) Still, awesome gift and totally unexpected! Getting better and better and it's starting to become a problem as it swallows up my time!!!

I fell into the same trap. Be wary! I imagine she's looking to stroke her ego.

Yeah Foo Fighters acoustic. I still struggle with the chord transitions in that one as going from the D to the Am with pinky on G for the high e string slows me down a bit, but it's getting there. I can sing along to Last Kiss and Leaving on a Jet Plane pretty well though.

Haha I can imagine.

That's okay. "my" girl suddenly decided that eye contact and joking around with me IS in fact okay. Not that I'm complaining...I just laugh at the bizarreness of the whole situation.

LOL another 4+ hours or so today...

Well it looks like we might have our out if this economic downturn is a particularly bad one.

I already turned in my membership to that group some time ago.

I vaguely recall you suggesting the pound of bad sausages for me as well!

What's to discuss?

Today was pretty good! Probably played guitar for over 6 hours! Another song I played around with was Pearl Jam's cover of Last Kiss. It's probably my best song now! I am getting decent at chords, but still struggle with individual notes. I am thinking that more scale practice will help with that though. Was mucho fun though! My song "repertoire" is still work in progress for most of them, but the songs so far are: Last Kiss Leaving on a Jet Plane Brown Eyed Girl Summer of '69 American Pie Times Like These That's roughly in rank of how well I can play them too. The thing that was funny was Last Kiss goes G Em C D and Brown Eyed Girl (which I had played a ton of first that uses a similar strumming pattern) goes G C G D so when playing Last Kiss at first I would always go G C instead of G Em Had an absolute blast today though. Did piss all for school related stuff

I have been playing around with some more easy style songs. Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams Saga Begins - Weird Al

I love the games people play. For the most part my friend and I keep distance and don't really interact, but a casual reference to a movie she and I watched together will undoubtedly result in us taking a quick glimpse at each other. It was a mutual friend's birthday this past weekend, and when we were at the bar the cover band started playing Summer of '69 and my "ex" apparently mentioned to a friend of hers on the dance floor that I had sang it karaoke and then that friend got all excited and convinced me to join the two of them on the dance floor. Even though I knew how the friend knew it was my song (it was obvious), I still asked her afterward how she knew that was my song, just to confirm it to myself. I have caught myself wearing shirts or whatever that she complimented me on simply because I knew I was going to a group get together and she was going to be there, and there were times with smaller group gatherings where she'd be dressed up wearing full outfits I complimented her on, makeup and all. I guess it's still that funny thing in the back of our minds that we do because we know that deep down, we know if we wear this outfit at least one person will think we look great in it. It's almost subconscious. Not that I blame her (or myself). It seems to be human nature. I don't think she's sending me signals or anything like that, just that because of the connotation she has with a particular outfit, she'll feel good about herself while wearing it. Though she seems to be on a "hit or miss" for whether or not we'll get together on a particular day. Some days it's like I am this block of ice and she hates me, and other days it's almost like when were were friends "precomplication" haha.
