Guitar annoyance

It happens every now & then. The guitar in action- annoyance.

I'm put off by he sound of the guitar. Hearing the guitar for the past few days had been a bother, it didn't inspire me to play.

What triggered ideas, on the contrary, was hearing the bass. Drums & percussion were great inspirational catalysts as well. The irony here is that not hearing the guitar propels the urge to have the guitar fill in that emptiness. I guess it's what inspires the artist as well- seeing a blank canvass is every reason to pick up the brush to paint than seeing another art piece.

I think it's important to manifest music from an artistic perspective. Use the guitar as a tool of expression but on many occasions, we use the guitar to showcase our technical abilities. This is why, sometimes, listening to Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine) is very inspiring to me.

It's the beginning of the end... It's past midnight now- the beginning of a new day. It's also the last day of May- the end of the month.

King Diamond's "Insanity" is my favorite track. No crazy shreds, no unwanted noises. Soft and pleasant instrumental track but somewhat fits to the title. Should give it a try bro.
