*I have a guitar - It may be a beauty, or just a random fender, something to be cool in a room, decoration. The guy can maybe play one song, and a few chords, if that.
*I can play (kinda) -knows a few songs, a few chords. may be actively learning more, depending on how long they have been learning. Enjoy the few songs they can play, and many times interested in learning new stuff, if they could only remember it.
i'm a combination of the two. so that leaves me with holidays, and every now and then random spuratic, church attendance practicing christian who doesn't get much out of their religion only because it's almost more of a decoration...hmmmmm?
i have been guilty of that a lot *sporadic* -(sorry). But I am just interested in more lately, its depressing to me how little I have exercised such an awesome part of my life, and yeah.
This was more in reference (the whole metaphor) to the fact that it does relate pretty well, a long with people who say they don't play guitar because for whatever reason, other players told them they didnt know how to play right, or that playing the guitar was dumb, lets go do this or that instead, or that their teacher had too many rules and made practice so boring that they gave up. And thats all fine and great, but does that playing the guitar has changed? Is the guitar, or the guitar maker to blame? Of course not. Those other people were assholes. Same with christianity for me I suppose. People aren't perfect, and to blame lack of belief or a different belief on mean people is disappointing for the church, but not a good excuse...
i understand what you're saying about religion. i'm a believer that much i know, but i think i never really wanted to get involved or interested any further than my confirmation last year because my parents forced me to do so, when i'd have gone to it myself if they had only trusted my judgement along with the fact that i'm an extremely independent person. which is no reason to abandon my religion, rebellion against my parents i know, but i'm still young and i haven't even found myself out yet never mind The Big Guy up there. but everytime i'm having a really rough month or something, he's always there for me and for that alone i know...i'll have to pay him back someday someway somehow...but i'm stupid and apparently it's just not right now.
Yesterday I remembered about a bass guitar sitting around the house, passed down but never used.
Today at work while talking about frets with the guys, I realized my hands/fingers may physically be too small for me to ever play a proper chord. However, I should be able to play the same music as anyone else, even if my underlying mechanics aren't quite according to theory.
smart girl. that happens as well. And I apologize that I haven't played guitar for you, on either account -
But the problem is, if you're working with a trumpet, you may came away with the same melodies sometimes..and it still may even sound beautiful, but you're not playing guitar. And i'm looking to start a rock band -not too fond of ska.
When Metaphors Go Too FarindiekidselloutOctober 27 2005, 12:55:04 UTC
I never said anything about a trumpet. Besides, who plays guitar for years, begs their mom to get them a trumpet, and then decides they don't want it . . because, duh, it's a trumpet?

ouch. you're right.what do you want me to say, I should have never bothered asking about it? It was so attractive and still had quite a siren call that I thought maybe it had a place. guess mom was right -
i just made it private -it was weird, I was trying to match dates between when you and alex started seeing each other and john's party, and then that post...i couldn't pin them all down, but i just figured; anyways. I can't say that I've been lucky enough to pick up another woman yet, although after having something like you I've turned into a bit of a lipslut, but noone worth calling after the party-besides, with any luck I'll be in Austin right? Round two for long distance relationships is not really a priority for me in any sense. but yeah.
joseph! i figured i should finish our conversation on your journal instead of using christine. but yes, its been a while hasnt it? i am amazed you remembered my band's name (or former band...our drummer currently is in school in south carolina) and i am embarressed to say i don't remember yours. actually i dont even think you had one the last i talked to you. you were looking for a drummer. but i hope all is well down there in texas, unless went and you moved on me.

You still haven't played your guitar for me yet.
