Guitar

The other night I was in our music room and decided to plug in my acoustic for the first time in a really long time. I always just play without an amp. Anyway, Stephen comes in a few minutes later and plugs in the bass and starts playing along with whatever I'm playing and making up bass riffs to go along with my guitar. Omg it sounded sooooo super cool and soooo much better!!!! It felt like we were in a band. It really made me want to pursue starting my own band even more, and it also showed me how complimentary the two instruments are. And Stephen is just fabulous at any instrument he picks up, so he can pretty much play anything I play AND figure out the bass for it. Man if only we could write music. Stephen can come up with the melodies and riffs but he never seems to finish the songs and I can never come up with lyrics. Everything I come up with feels stupid to me. Plus, I don't prefer the stuff he comes up with. He likes a more mellow feel while I prefer jumpy, getting ready to go out music like The Kills and Arctic Monkeys. So I don't normally feel his melodies. Man it is going to be so hard to really do this. It's just me and him which shouldn't be hard but we can't even agree on the type of sound we want. Even worse, we work all day and by the time we get home we're pooped. But whatever, I'm still determined. I'm already so much better at it then I was when I first started. I just have to keep playing and getting better, especially at lead.

Ok now I'm going to be a bad employee and leave for a little bit to go to the bank and deposit some checks. I'm supposed to be here til 3 freakin o clock but it's only 1:40 and I don't feel like writing anymore. So I'm going to leave real quick then come back to clock out. I'm such a rebel.
