Hai haiiii
It’s been a while since I popped into your asks so (if it’s alright with you) I have decided to impulsively jump into your inbox about a random muffin [story] time about an embarrassing moment that happened to me last year
So I was in this rock band club thing where me and a bunch of teens would play songs together and at the end of the year we would play songs we learnt to anyone who bought a ticket (our parents), I did my last one before I move away for university like last week
But I made an absolute fool of myself last year and it still keeps me up at night what I did
We were about to play ‘Time is Running Out’ by muse, great song and I knew the whole rhythm guitar section of by heart and could play it confidently and sound amazing
But last year
I forgot to tune my guitar.
And played it on stage. Out of tune. Loudly.
I thought I’d be fine bro I tuned my guitar before I left the house I didn’t think it was me that was out of tune I thought it was the bassist that was out of tune not me and when I went backstage everyone was rushing around trying to figure out who it was cause it was so loud and obvious and when they realised it was me my friend and teacher (who is an actual sweetheart so it’s okay) could not stop laughing at me and it just loomed over me for the rest of the day.
Like every single time before I went on stage again they’d just say ‘make sure you’re in tune everyone, not looking at anyone in particular of course’ whilst smiling at me 😭
IN MY DEFENCE there was a bassist out of tune as well but the bass wasn’t as loud as a guitar BUT I did proceed to play Square Hammer by Ghost absolutely perfectly so I mean I did redeem myself by the end
But my parents lied to me and said it wasn’t that obvious but my friend sent me the video (and likes to send it to me randomly sometimes) and lord almighty does it haunt me I cannot listen to the song normally anymore it was so so bad 😭
Anyway that was my random rant for the day (if this is annoying feel free to just delete this I do not mind)
How are you??
MUFFIN TIMEEEEE
(love, you're NOT annoying😭 stop saying that! i love seeing you here in my inbox, i love your posts, i'm happy you decided to come here and tell me this)
we love muse here, they're really good! i know which song you're talking about and no, it can't be that bad as you're saying😭
bassist out of tune too? AAAAHHHH!
but hey, issokay i mean, not everyone has it to stand in front a bunch of people and sing/dance/play instruments/do magic/etc, so be PROUD of yourself to have done that every year! it's okay that you might have forgotten to tune your guitar, you're human. don't let it haunt you anymore😭 like you're saying, you redeemed yourself.
besides guitar, do you play any other instrument? i learned guitar and piano when i was younger, i was starting to get into bass but i stopped🥺 i have a LOOONG time not playing anything so i'm afraid i forgot everything
dang bro now that i remember i used to do a bit of everything when i was younger😭 where did i got the time from? dk but i wish i had it now lmao
i'm doing good✨, i mean, i have my good days, i have my not so good days so ig normal🤭 i've been resting these last couple of day which is always great<33 i'm thinking of doing another degree so we'll see about that hehe
