Guitar

*Obsessed mode* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH a while ago I just went to the music store to buy some stuff for my guitars and I was like whoa how drum stick xylophone bass awesome is this place??? It was orgasmic, I tell you, seeing all those guitars lined up waiting for a new home or studio. And I'm the type who touches stuff a lot in a store so I was tapping the cajon drum, and running my fingers on the strings of this acoustic guitar near the cashier. I blew around 500 pesos on the things I bought for 2 guitars because I promised myself that I would especially since I burst 2 strings recently:

• An Ernie Ball Custom Gauge 10 electric guitar string. I didn't buy all 6 strings because my other old strings are still fine.
• A pack of Martin Acoustic Guitar Strings 80/20 Bronze Extra Light. I flipped when I saw the strings, frickin bronze alloy!! It's different from the ones I've used and I'm excited to string and tune my guitar tonight.
• A cheap guitar capo by Fernando. I've never touched a capo before so I thought I looked dumb looking at it for a long time while I was at the MRT. It looks cheap because I see dried up glue on some parts of it, haha.

I got my first guitar when I was 13 and it was freakin huge but it was ayt since it made my grip stronger, I suppose. I got a second guitar, a red electric guitar the next year because I was a wannabe rock star, lolz. My dad and I went to the music store to pick up a guitar for me and I saw a red cheap one with a small guitar amplifier so yeah, we bought that one and I was so happy. (It has big ass black scratch marks at the back of it but whatevs.) Of course it's noisy when I play it so I've kept it in my closet for quite some time. At one point, I thought of selling it, but when a buyer came up to me, I changed my mind because the guitar reminded me of my father so ya, SALE FAIL. I had it rented once, twice, thrice (I barely keep count) [and at one point my tremolo (whammy bar) got lost which f*ckin blows] but when my stepsister rented it for her now-closed bar and returned it to me, I found out that one of the strings broke and the cable plug thingy that connects the guitar to the amplifier is missing. SHEEEEEEET that just sucks, especially since the last time I checked, that cable is ridiculously expensive. But I don't know, it felt like it's no use asking my sister to pay for it, coz dats hao nise i m lulz. After 4 years, my first guitar broke in half. I still keep the body in a part of my closet because I can still use the other strings as spare. So for a few years, I didn't play any acoustic guitar. Now I use my sister's guitar that she got from Cebu but she doesn't use it because she doesn't know how to play guitar, haha, so I keep it. And I broke the 1st string, so I got a spare from my broken guitar, but since it's so old, it also broke. Playing the guitar with only 5 strings was so weird. I kept pressing my finger on the "imaginary" 1st string even if it's pointless. Anyway, I'm glad I bought new ones already. I don't mind blowing this much for a guitar since I rarely do. And come on, people pay a good price to watch a band play good music. I don't think they'd pay the same if they knew they were attending Poopstock Stoolapalooza Shitfest, right?
