the wrong chord is struck and apparently marston’s tolerance is starting to grow thin with each failure to get it correct despite how many times javier keeps showing him. it’s really not bothersome for the mexican, even if it seems to be due to how he lets out faint cusses and sighs when a note sounds off. but learning how to play the guitar is way more complicated for a GUNSLINGER to learn than others, fingers only knowing how to pull a trigger, grip reins and make a fist. john is no different and his lack of faith in what he’s capable of is more bothersome than missed notes. ❝ paciencia, mi hermano. you ain’t gonna make progress by constantly doubting your skills. now.. ❞
fingers come to find john’s hands, positioning his thumb on the sixth string and his other hand along the neck of the acoustic. ❝ this string here? it’s gonna be the e string-- not only is it the thickest but it’s the DEEPEST and lowest note you can play, alright? so.. ❞ he moves john’s thumb over the string, plucking it so the sound can vibrate against skin and tingle the bone. ❝ hear that? when you want to change the melody to something low and haunting, this is the one you tune. always tune this chord to e-- elephant string. thickest and biggest of the bunch. ❞
