I don’t have a clue what I’m gonna talk about. I did swap out my Jazzmaster guitar for the Nashville tele a couple of weeks ago, but now I’m using the Guild T-Bird, because for some reason I now like the way it plays, even though I hated it since the day I bought it. It probably needs new strings, but if it’s another thing I hate, it’s changing strings on guitars. I’d love a guitar technician. Anyone want the job? Now, the other thing I do is I keep buying pedals all the time, but you really only need about three.
Elvis didn’t play a Jazzmaster, but Declan did.
Reverb, Distortion and a tuner. I don’t know what other people use. The last time I was at the Guitar Center they had about 500 different pedals. You could plug a guitar in and test them out. The only downside is the shitty amps you have to play them through, so it’s hard to get a decent idea of what the thing is gonna sound like through your own amp.
Muddy Waters. Playing a Guild T Bird allows you to see God.
I’m trying to not buy any more musical instruments. I’ve got more than fifteen guitars now. I only play about three of them. I’ve also got a violin, three saxophones, two trumpets, various other vintage horns, a trombone, two drum kits and a banjo. Oh, and then there’s four or five electronic keyboards, two organs and a grand piano. There’s more stuff, but it’s making tired because I keep remembering things I forgot I had. It’s like going through a list of all the girls you’ve been with. It’s exhausting. It’s like fucking them all over again
Every one needs a good banjo in their musical arsenal
You think you’ve remembered them all and then there’s five more that surface from somewhere in depths of your mind to taunt you in ‘a la recherche du temps perdu. If AI could invent a time machine, what’s left of civilization would come to a halt because everyone would want to go back and revisit the fun stuff they did. They’d probably stay there if they could. Who wouldn’t?
I’ve got one of these as well. (a vintage tractor you sick fucks)
Trying to think of the best time I ever had is difficult. It’s probably right now. Khalil Gibran, a renowned Lebanese-American writer, artist, and poet, once said, “Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.” What’s today then? The eternal now, that’s what. You can’t really waste something that’s eternal. Let us rock baby!
Happy Friday.
