guitar pain

I love how much my fingers hurt tonight…

Yesterday, I spent a good deal of time working with myainsel on music to back up some of the poems/songs she’s set to music. Dug out every guitar I own (almost) and banged away. Got a couple pretty settled and more on the way.

I woke up to sore calluses like I haven’t had in a while, and there’s still some residual tenderness even at this point.

I like that. It feels good to have a reason to play that much.

I also found that interestingly enough, I’m a far better player backing someone else than I am when I try to accompany myself. I suppose that makes sense, but as I haven’t done much of the former, it was still a bit of a surprise.
