Well, apparently I do as Mondays are band practice days! Unfortunately, our drummer had to take a personal day, which I completely understand. Instead, my fellow ax-wielder (aka "guitarist") and I grabbed coffee, talked video games, then wrote some wicked music.
It is an interesting feeling you get when you play alongside someone who clicks with you, musically. You are able to transcend to a new plane of thought, sharing in similar ideas and able to know what the other person is going to do before they do it. There are so many players out there, but you don't always get the same vibe from these people. When you do get that vibe, hang on to player - try to make things work, even when times become challenging. Ha, it sounds like I'm giving marriage advice ... I guess I should take my own advice, all is not always well in the house of rock from time to time; certain aspects of life can get in the way of a good thing.
Anyway, what is it about gear? Are all musicians doomed to constantly be drooling over cool gear? I priced out another guitar on Warmoth.com today, I think I might pull the trigger. My current Warmoth guitar took two years to plan, acquire the parts and build; if I do this again, I will do it in less time. I think it's time for a Tele.
Song of the day: "Check My Brain" - Alice in Chains
