i'm not a brilliant guitarist. i can use the whole neck and know some nifty scales, but seeing some mates play this weekend just ****ing blew my mind.

so anyway: i started singing and playing rhytm while my mate plucked some arpeggios and ****ed around over it. i guess the point of this post is that until the weekend i never knew i could a) sing (which i'm told i can but its hard to judge your own voice ) and b) play at the same time. it just came naturally. i was strumming mr writer with my mate picking over the top and everyone singing, and i just thought: **** it. i started blaring my little heart out and before i knew it the whole room ('cept the guitarists) dropped into stunned silence. i think it was the ot's that gave me the confidence in the first place, but ****: it felt good.

i'm thinking bright lights, bands and performance now. this summer keeps looking better and better. might have to start off just busking about though, but **** it, it'll be worth it.
