the first guitar i ever owned.

my grandparents are in town until tomorrow and i'm glad i get to see them tonight, specifically my grandpa. he is an inspiration to me on so many levels, i'd like to learn how to play guitar half as good as he does. the time we both had guitars out together he showed me some different chord formations he uses and i tried to show him how to use a power chord. it was a day i'll never forget. the big thing about my grandpa's musical ability is something that i've tried to mimic when i play a guitar. he plays on the rhythm and not necessarily looking to wow with technicality or even difficulty, that is the true heart of things, no so much being able hammer solo likes iron maiden but to play by feeling the music. i guess maybe someday i'll get there, i have to pick up a guitar again.

listening to:

various lagwagon, the ataris songs when i feel like it.
