Tough Days

Post by StratLover2 »

Hi all!

Well, the accounting test I studied for did not go my way today, but what is most frustrating was I was only a few percentage points from making the outscore, and onto of that, I still have a bit of a cold. Combine those factors and I was fellin pretty lousy. After I calmed down a lot, I picked up Torrance and played over this Backing Track I created and let my pent up rage loose. I used distortion as an effect to showcase my angry emotions, not to hide any flaws or anything, but to serve as an additional coloring to the music.

Thanks!

I must say, after playing the guitar, I feel like my mind has been re-balanced in a very good way.

..... and to good effect. The guitar can be a great medicine to combat life's brickbats fired at you. :thumbsup:

Yes, I feared that my disappointment and rage might have been too muchfor the guitar, or that I was going to magically play some heavy metal! The only time I can think of that I play coose to this isat our weekly sidewalk jams, and a pretty young lady walks by, then I just lose it, and do something like this.

I think that's the main reason we all play guitar! :big_smile:
Well played - you're getting better every time!
