Yellow guitar and yellow pick – set the mood for positive rock!
I have a yellow electric guitar and a yellow pick. There's even a story behind it. I've had this guitar for a long time. You could say since my youth. But I never really learned to play it. I'm currently practicing on this guitar. It's nice to have such a wonderful instrument. So sunny. And positive.
Sunny and positive – that's what it is. To make life more fun. And on top of that – a pick of the same color – a yellow pick. From the magical and sunny company Alice. A yellow Alice pick. Yellow Alice.
I specifically play with a yellow Alice pick. I chose the color to match my guitar. And it's quite thick. And dense. Thicker than the ones I use for bass guitar. I chose it based on the color. This pick has been holding up for a long time. Truly. I took up the electric guitar only after I realized I could consistently practice bass guitar. "Practicing" – in my understanding. With my burnt-out psyche. I can't be productive. In the sense of showing results or making noticeable progress. That's exactly how I understand it.
I added an electric guitar. Also to practice. I remember. How my brother, Mom, and Dad went to the store to buy such a gift. An electric guitar. I didn't go. I was probably scared. I'm more of an introvert. And not at all a musician. It's hard for me. I remember when I picked up a guitar. All I knew was that you need a pick. And here's from "Smoke on the Water." Literally this riff and that's it. I think you hold down two strings and slowly move them back and forth a little. And that's it.
And so it was for me for a long time. Basically. Until this, my last attempt. About two years ago, I tried again. Couldn't figure it out. Got frustrated. Gave up. And probably about two years ago, I started learning bass. Taking into account all my shortcomings. Not trying to do anything complicated. As dumb as possible. So I added an electric guitar.
And then it was still so sunny. I started learning. In my style. Slowly. But I started. And that's the most important thing. I'm learning electric guitar. Space rock. That's Hawkwind. Master of the Universe, Psychedelic Warlords, Lord of Light. Those are the chords. Like street guitar, maybe. Only it sounds like noisy rock.
And I like that noise in the sound myself. And I need it. I doubt I'll be able to play cleanly anymore. So noise is more necessary and important to me. I need to weigh my strengths. And to this matter. I've already thought about adding something. 80s rock, like Bon Jovi, typical rock, but I haven't done it yet. I was thinking about that very song – the one I really dig – I've Got a Fire by Iron Maiden. But I tried and didn't. I thought about Highway Star, Deep Purple, or Ritchie Blackmore, that's his song. And I tried. Yes, I tried. And another track from the video game Outrun (2006). I also dream of learning to play positive, driving rock on the guitar. And I tried. Yes. So far, that's my best.
I'm focused on chords. Typical chords. Plus the space rock of Hawkwind. Typical chords there, essentially. And I started synchronizing. With bass guitar. There, on the bass, there's an accent on gothic. So I'm trying. With gothic chords. London after midnight - spider and fly. There are two chords. And typical noisy rhythm guitar in the background. I love this kind of thing - Clan of Xymox - Jasmine and Rose.
And this is my yellow, happy guitar. Which I finally picked up. And I'm trying to learn how to play. Sunny and cheerful. With a positive vibe. So I need to get to positive rock too. A summery guitar. That's how it all worked out. Choose one based on your mood. Yellow guitar. Sunny, positive, summery. And a pick of the same color. Yellow.
I need to master positive rock too!
