I started guitaring at the end of last year, I've learned to play around a dozen songs (badly), and hundreds of bits of songs, through tab I've got from the internet, or from my little brother who is marginally better than I am.

...but nobody asked me, so I'll just feck off.

I can mostly only remember bits these days
there's a few songs I know all of still, but most of my memory is taken up with band stuff, and we all make that up as we go along!

generally, I'm happy to play anything and can learn or make something up pretty speedily, so fun could still be had!

Some day
I hope I'll be at that level, where I can just fiddle about with my guitar and create half decent music to almost anything, but at the moment I only have a shoddy guitar and little amp to practice on.

One day I'll be a megastar though, and you'll all be attending Monkeysex gigs, paying three thousand million pounds to get balcony seats, while I piss the world's smoothest blues licks into your ears on my fat Gibson ES-330, or whatever it's called.

I found that getting new gear made my play better
also, playing with other people as much as possible is the best way to develop

Exactly that
but I never have time for that kind of thing, so I'll just stick to fiddling with my Squier in my underpants for now.

as long as you enjoy it, that's the main thing
I started playing when I was about 12 or 13 I think, can't remember why, but I'm glad I stuck with it, despite being pretty shit for quite a long time

Shitness is all in your mind, Vipros
You've got to believe in yourself, do you believe in yourself Vipros? Because you know you should.

I want to lay you down on my couch and sing you a little song.
