Afterwards, I went over to Richie Baxt's famous East Village apartment (Richie's Guitars!) and bought myself this gorgeous birthday present! My first acoustic guitar!
Later that afternoon, I took Brett to a music store and bought him a guitar for Christmas! He'd been wanting to learn for a while. Learning that first Amaj chord!
Spent the afternoon recording a new song I'd written called "The Point of No Return" (partially inspired by the idea that once you start watching synthetic bizarro porn, there's no going back.)
If you're ever wondering why I'm not posting photos here so much anymore, it's because a few years ago I got lost in the world of music. Now instead of working on this site, a lot of nights I just end up playing guitar until my eyes don't stay open. Happy July 2014!
Spent Saturday afternoon playing guitar and working on writing songs. (Two years later and I am still very much obsessed with this! I'm trying to write all songs that I'd want to sing at karaoke! EARLY 90S KARAOKE!)
On Saturday afternoon, Grant moved into my apartment. He'd sublet his apartment for the summer and needed a place to crash for a few days before leaving heading of to Vancouver. That means hot licks...
The morning coffee Grant brings me is usually served up with a few AC/DC and/or Iron Maiden songs. Haha. (Bonus points to Edie for having her back-half on Grant's lap and her front-half on a pillow-fortress).
Later that evening, I got an Apogee JAM adapter that lets you jack your guitar's audio signal into your computer. I spent the rest of the night playing around with GarageBand.
...working with METAL! Richie from Richie's Guitar Shop totally fixed the neck like new and spent most of the day refamiliarizing with the fretboard. Bro, do you even shred, bro?
Richie's is a word-of-mouth business that doesn't disclose its phone number or address. You have to be referred over. I was very excited to meet him and see if he could restore the SG to playing condition!
