Get a shitty > > acoustic and learn on it first ok, I'll admit I don't know shit about the making of good music, I just know how to listen to it. But I want to learn how to make it, and am humble enough to ask some questions you all probably think is pretty stupid. Ok, I've got an acoustic guitar, and have had it since I was about 7, so it's probably 15 years old. It's way outta tune and seems kinda small. But do they make kids guitars, maybe that's what it was when I first got it. It's about 3 feet long? Thanks to everyone who suggested tips in helping me learn how to play. I think what I'm first going to do is get some books at the library and try and learn the basics by myself and then if it seems like I'm still interested then I will get more serious indepth lessons. Since everyone is/was talking about movies---I just saw one morbid, freaky, soul intaking, bitch slapping, outta the grave, killer flic! It was the Craft (some of you have probably seen it) It was awesome. It was really freaky, and after I saw it I felt like I was possessed or someting. Its about 4 girls who are witches that get outta hand. Too weird! Ok on to another subject-- Is "cake" considered ska? or is it skaw,sca,scaw? whatever. cause when they are coming here with.... NO DOUBT, its supposed to be an all ska night. I'm not gonna go or anything (the only reason I would go would be to see Gwen---ok male hormones, subside, subside--ok they are gone) they are playing with the vandrones? (i'm not into ska that much, as you can probably tell) but everyone is saying that cake is ska, and from what I've heard (i.e. reel big fish in concert) they don't sound ska. Ok some somewhat failure subject, that I have to boast about. After I gave away all 18 of the stickers I had left, and gave my pic of the band to my ex gf (she thinks you are really cute greg)--I am proud to say that I cajoled 12 of them into buying fantastic planet, and they all told me that it was killer (sorry about this obsession with the word killer, I don't know where its coming from) I'm still trying to convince the others that failure rules (most of these friends haven't heard any of the albums of failure that I've got) But---8 of these who got the stickers put them on their cars, so now the whole world will see an advertisment for failure! They all want my jacket, but it's all mine,mine,mine,mine,mine,mine,mine,mine,mine,mine,mine! Ok, lastly, to the band-- You guys have to come to San Antonio, you are killin me here. I know you went to Austin (i didn't get to go), but come here I'm begging. All the shows that come here are either really big bands that have really expensive shows (i.e. Metallica, U2) or just cheesie bands like PUSA and Better than Ezra. So come, one you start touring again! I'll give up my soul if you do! (maybe not) this might be the longest message ever -Brad p.s. does anyone know what disc and song of tool that has-- "do onto others, what has been done to you"----they said that line in the craft and its been in my head all nite, and I can't find it on Undertow, is it on Aenima? I need to hear it now!!! .
