Hmm... By the way, I next need a cheap Telecaster and Stratocaster. Then I need a cheap bass, probably acoustic and electric - with maybe a third one being fretless for that smooth bass tone we all know and love.
That should complete my 'cheap guitar' collection. Well, I should probably have a nylon string classical guitar, but a new guitar player isn't going to be playing classical music (these days). I did. I took lessons. I took a whole lot of lessons. Hell, I've paid for lessons as an adult - called 'master classes' oftentimes. If I find someone better than me, I want to know what they know - and I'll do whatever it takes to learn it, including paying them or jamming with them, or even performing with them to pay for said lessons.
Anyhow... I'm pretty sure it's time to pretend I've learned a song. Except, I don't really want to play the simple stuff. So, rather than playing simple songs, I've been doing rote exercises. I practice scales, bends, chords, tapping, sweep picking, etc...
Also, don't forget...
Today is Friday.
You're opening the FNGT.
Good luck, and may a deity of your choice be on your side!
I've got a cheap bass that I like a lot.
Yeah, finding a cheap bass isn't going to be too challenging,
I'm upstairs, out on the balcony, like an old man looking out across his estate.
However, I just found the coolest thing...

The dude is attempting to show a device, unboxing it. He eventually finds the looper and just jams out with his ugly toes on the pedal.
The playing is horrible, really. But, this dude gives zero fucks that it sounds like ass. He don't care. He's like a badger - giving zero fucks what anyone else thinks.
And he keeps going for like 7+ minutes.
It's the greatest thing I've come across for days.
I am not so sure that is great!
