I'm guitar obsessed because i've played guitar for the past 3 and a half years.
My name is Slash Freeman for reasons i will not explain, basically because i don't want to tell any of you. none of you have given me a reason to do so, and you all seem to be acting like arseholes to me.
1 final comment before i leave this "discussion", to you xenophobe:
You may well be more guitar obsessed than me, i don't know and frankly i don't care. i am as guitar obsessed as i am, no more, no less. i know that my guitar is my life, and that's why i don't carry it anywhere. maybe now i'll be able to carry more stuff i need on my back i'll switch back to using the hard case. i used the gig bag to carry my guitar to school when i had a pretty full bag on my back and couldn't fit stuff like the tuner and effects box in. i can fit them both into the gig bag along with enough cables so i decided to start using that, taking into consideration that it wasn't a particularly long walk to school and i always walked carefully. i carried my guitar extremely carefully, picked her up and placed her down with extreme caution. i never let anyone touch her unless they were people i knew and trusted well enough to know they wouldn't hurt her. you may ask why i bothered with the effects box. because there were only bass amps in the school, so to get a sound i liked i brought that along. i need the tuner because my ears have never been that good for picking out notes. i can tune a guitar to itself pretty accurately, but i can't tell if it's the right notes, so i need the tuner. maybe in a few years my ears will become more attuned, but until then the tuner will be neccessary.
Now, i'm sorry we got off to such a bad start. you don't know me and i don't know you. maybe if i'd been feeling better when i first spoke to you we might have gotten along better, although you seem a bit to sure of your own opinions for my tastes. just an outsiders view, though, and an outsider whos been there and done that and has just had a bad few hours (i'm surprised how calm i am right now). we're both guitarists, as a lot of people who have said things in this thread are, but you all seem to have a very low opinion of me due to me getting pissed off at someone making a joke out of my guitar. it's because of my love for my guitar that i acted the way i did. maybe you'd do the same thing, i don't know. and maybe you didn't even make a joke and it was just my reaction, i don't know. i just know i got pissed off a xenophobe because he either misunderstood something i said, or i didn't say what i meant. but i guess that's just the way life goes. i'm not totally convinced it was just me in the wrong here, but i apologies to you all anyway. i guess we'll see each other round here even now and then, but i doubt we'll say much to each other. which is a shame, 'cos it's nice to find another welshman. i'm not fully welsh, but partly. i guess the rest of it is Scottish stubbornnes.
