There is.

Grab your guitar and play the lowest string.

Play these frets... note when I say 0, you don't even have to fret it...

0-3-5
0-3-6-5
0-3-5
3-0

Now come back to the board and tell us what awesome lick you (sorta, amateurishly, wrongly, but still) played.

how's that?

You know I'd totally give you a shot, I think you'd keep me interest!

It's fucked though, probably all in my head but there's more...it felt like I had met my other half...the a reas I was shy or had anxieties or just being good with ppl she excelled at...the areas of her self esteem and her writing where she lacked confidence I gave her strength and etc. my weaknesses were her strengths and vice versa...but here I am...

on the interwebs whining like a schoool boy.

she's probably sleeping like a baby or doing schoolwork or out dancing with girls at the gay clubs

Yeah, I know EXACTLY what my ex-old lady is doing, while I'm on here bitching...

she's sewing.

phoenix : make the hands move first. Then the chords will make sense, like when a kid learns to make mouth sounds and then ascribe letters.

Find a super easy song to play and find the tabs. Online tabs are an amazing resource.

The first song I learned how to play was About A Girl by Nirvana. Haha, what was it, Am, G Am, G ? over and over. Haha. But thats where it starts.

Do it for yourself, you'll feel so much better. The learning experience wont be stapled to anyone but you.

Hmmm Hmmm, you actually have the energy to pursue other women ?
Yeah, youre definitely in one of lifes major gray points, where you adore someone and have strong bonds with someone, but somehow you're going someplace else.

How important is sex in your relationship, if you dont mind me asking? I mean, could you allow strong bonds to exist but have a wandered sexual compatibility, or is that kind of bond a true necessity ?

Yeah, I have the energy. I've only just found it, but it really came down to stopping pursuing her.

With our child and our history, I'm sure the strong bonds are here to stay. I will miss when some of those bonds involved us tying each other up, because I did really enjoy that. However, as infinitely annoyed with her as I am, I don't seem to have an ounce of hate for her. We'll see how things go on her end when I stop her from having access to my paychecks though.

What... that's so weird

[alteredcourse]

Youre weird

you are never going to beat it if you don't stop romanticising!!!!

[atsonicpark]

Yeah, it's weird but it's cool.

Imagine the look on that girl's face.. I'm imagining it now, though it's kinda blurry.

I filled my entire carpet with cum! It was insane.

yeh I do that sometimes, but I'll go for a few weeks without playing and forget everything I've learned and it takes me a half hour to try and remember it all. It has never began to feel natural.

.. which makes it so hard for someone like me to stick with because I either get something straight away (or make super fast progress) or I dump it all together. I think the only thing that has made me never walk away from it ocmpletely is just loving music and wishing so badly I didn't suck ass at everything but rhythm. haha.

I just don't think you want to understand. If you really did, you could look it up on the net or figure it out yerself. Hell, I was taking guitar lessons and I still learned a bunch of stuff myself because I WANTED to play guitar and play songs... and write songs

Meh., maybe stop thinking that you have to be a specialist ? Take it easy. Dont get so frustrated. If you're good at rhythm, maybe take some drum lessons ?

I know, fuck me. I didn't believe in love, or that I was capable until I met her, now I realize Im an old fashioned 1930s hopeless romantic fuckbag

I've had books given to me, I've looked up things, I've had people teaching me. Seriously, it's just one of those skills I doubt I'll ever really get. It really isn't because I don't want to understand haha.

I never had a lesson, I picked it up and was playing Malmsteem solos the first day. Common sense.
