Blarg (is what it felt like at first)

Jammed through the changes of the Baron's epic masterpiece, “Sir Robert the Brave” (co-written by a Mr. Marder), as well as on a Dead tune, a song of mine, and some basic chord progressions. I feel like I'm getting better at playing and understanding what's going on within a song/chord progression/rhythm/ etc. It's like intuition or something - you

dont we all.

im totally happy for you. you seem to be reaching the musician's zen. i hear it's a comfy place.

Stuart and Dustin and I were thinking of recording some stuff. it'll prolly never get off the ground, though. im never going to be a musician and i know this but a goal of mine before i die is to atleast be a part of creating one piece of music. i mean, i jammed a little with Modinha but that doesnt count for me since the vocal shit i did wasnt recorded and you could hardly call what i did with the instruments "playing" since i dont really know how to play anything. and i've recorded when i was in choir but i wanna be a part of something original.

this is really like the lamest thing ever. i love music because i was born loving it and i hate it because i wasn't meant to be a part of it. i cant play or write and i want to badly but not badly enough to actually persue it.

Jeez. Just play. Don't give a fuck. C'mon Satch. I've been telling you to learn how to play your guitar…punk rock is easy. Blah Blah Blah Blah I'm off to Work. Blah.

dude im not 15 anymore. and even if i was, i never wanted to play punk guitar in the first place. most punk guitarists were fucking pussies. Only East Bay Ray really stands out to me as a musician. he was cool. i always wanted to play dirty blues and chunky metal. but i just dont have the fingers for it. if im ever going to get anywhere (which im pretty sure i wont), i think my only hope would be lessons. i had a book and i couldnt learn shit from it. my ear is exceptional but my coordination and rhythm are appauling.

Okay. So your rhythm will suck. At first. And all I meant is that "punk" can easily be played (along with the blues) if you know only a few chords (three chords, i.e. fairly little knowledge). I suggested it as a good starting point. Learn old Ramones songs - the have a pretty bluesy basis. And if you can sing a part, you can probably play it.

i like to scream but can only really do it at certain times, im the kind that when a bad person or monster is in a dream of mine i can't scream...

i love music too.

I usually am surprised to be in the dream. I realize I'm in a dream when I notice myself noticing how vivid everything is. I've been having some really vivid dreams lately.

Music is everywhere
