i spent a lot of money on the guitar because i can feel in my bones that i will get incredibly attached to it and want to spend a lifetime exploring its Possibilities

i know he is a guy i've partially made up to get mad at but someone who Doesn't want to do this, upsets me, ig

not the spending money thing, a cheaper object is not lesser in its creative dignity; the curiosity. curiosity is my highest virtue

@hikari beats starting on a shitty instrument to hedge on creative drive being a fluke. (that's just the textbook example of self-fulfilling prophecy.) congratulations on your new guitar! 🎸

@unspeaker holy shit please tell me what the image is

@hikari Seeing you going insane (good) over the *objectively incredibly cool* world of electric guitars might be reawakening my own long-repressed desires to not only do music, and do it with actual instruments instead of DAWs and Trackers by Touching Computers

But very specifically the younger part of me that wanted to learn guitar and, in my late teens, even got told I "looked like a guitarist" (something about the hair??)

And in particular, want to play guitar not to "learn guitar" neccessarily but "play with guitar", to just make sounds and experiment and not be chasing a specific goal

(although learning to play specific chunks of certain songs is absolutely a goal of joy, it's not the main thing)

Historically I've been really bad about actually pursuing this sort of thing and even when I make some progress usually abandon it, but uh

Yeah, just wanted to say you've inspired me and there's now a chance I'll be gifting myself a guitar in the next few weeks ^_^;

@hokaze thank you for sharing, i hope for great things!
