it helps me write songs though... I am working on this new wavey thing today that I rattled off last night about if I had retaliated when she got violent and killed her... I have a great chorus lyric and I am not always good at lyrics...
He was a sensitive boy,
that's what they always said,
but now he's a killer.
was a beautiful girl,
but it went to her head,
he wouldn't forgive her....
run baby run baby run
got to get away
baby run and live
to fight another day...
I have some alt lines for every chorus that're prtty clever and thenI have an outro chorus variation that needs some lyrics.... I have a bunch of the programmed electronic elements in my DAW already, just tweaked 'em up and dialed in the perfect guitar sound on the 70s arbiter AC30 that's more marshally than voxy... I also got a sound for some riffage with an OD out front of my fawn AC30HW... I am doing SG standard for the rhythm track and the little licks and fills seem to sound good with the silver Les Paul. I need to find the right room for each amp and get a mic position and then my day will be guitar takes....
I am stoked because I haven't wound up using any of the ac30s for recordings lately.... I seem to be using the matchless, traynor and pro a lot on everything even though my heart really belongs to vox. Its just the kinda stuff I've been playing wanted more punch and those amps have fat attack and tight power sections that really help thigns whack through a dense mix.
But yeah... if you can manage to experience some personal tragedies it will certainly improve your music (if not your disposition). An even before meeting her Iw as nos tranger to PTSD level misfortune. I had a seriously fucked up early childhood but its just too creepy to write music about. I hate to be all 90s and cliché but its just true in my experience. On the one ahnd I do in fact miss her, but on the other hand? well I woulda liked to have made that hand into a fist just one time and hit her back so she woulda learned that grown people don't attack eachother. But aside form the fact that its generally frowned on to hit your wife under any circumstances I probably woulda killed her... she was 5' tall and a whispy little thing even during her fat phases. She was fat for her height, she never manages to outweigh me and 'm a full foot taller than that little punkrock girly.
this is such a thread hijack.... back to 1st guitars! have you considered a squire hell kitty strat? always funny
