Dear diary,
hay...
pagkahaba haba man ng prusisyon... tele na ulit gamit ako.
its possible na i played teles exclusively for so long ('04 to '08) that i now find it hard to get used to anything else. 4 years lang pero i play at least an hour almost every day. imagine picking up the same guitar (or same 2 guitars) every day for 4 years kahit nasa bahay lang (dahil wala nakong acoustic). its a daily habit. not really a "regimen" kasi i dont really "practice" anymore. i just play. madalas while watching tv. til i get sleepy. tas kinabukasan ganun ulit.
yung itches to wander happen when i get into players and start listening to their work more closely. i went into an LP phase in late '08 because i got into paul kossoff. the SG phase i got into last year was because of angus young and cream era clapton. in between those 2 phases i went back to playing teles din.
i learned more things (mostly about myself kasi i do read A LOT about the guitars before i start experimenting) in the process. stuff like: i prefer the SG to LP (both sa tone and feel) but wish i could travel with it and not worry about breaking it. but i also learned na i may like other guitars every now and then but a tele will always feel most comfy. so i am home again.
til the next time i itch, i guess.
