we used to kick our way….

Since I’ll be staying here for a while, it’s probably better to try and keep myself in practice. Sohail has planned at least two failed trips to Cambridge and from the looks of it, I wasn’t going to get my acoustic any soon. Besides, it’s probably a good idea to poke the rocker inside me a bit and switch to something more err… current. Thus this cheap throw-away(?!) Encore from Amazon. I’ve only just tuned it and as far as I can see, it’s worth the money. The package includes 3 pickups, a stand, tuner, 10W amp and sundry things. The amp has a crispy tone but I’ll check it out in detail may be tomorrow (when  P(flatmates_sleeping)<0.3). It’s a bit lighter than most guitars I’ve used and I’m still not sure whether to count it as a con or not.

for now, I’ll strum the night away…

(while reading some paper and a half a thesis… *sigh*)

The next time you need a capo and can’t find one, get inspired. Here’s a makeshift capo that I made from an almost empty lighter and a hair band.You can use a pencil, pen or anything else which presses the strings firmly, in place of the lighter.

Moral of the story: ضرورت ایجاد کی والدہ محترمہ ہیں

Once there was a spider, who lived in my guitar
he listened to the blues, la musique de popular
but every time I rocked, he looked a bit crocked
and muttered, "at least play something in 12 bar"
