I had surgery on my right shoulder last week, so I can't play for a month. So then I thought, "fuck this," and I've thus been teaching myself to play with just my left hand. It's fun as fuck. You sort of have to crank the gain though, so it sounds super metal, which is also fun. I'm going to record some dumb shit this weekend. I'll throw it up.

I scrapped the idea of getting a custom white ES-335, and instead am buying a metallic blue one that was in stock at a store in Germany. It should arrive just about the time I can really play again, so I'm pumped as fuck about that. Just hoping my wife isn't interested enough to Google "Gibson ES-335 price"!

Glad to hear super shot is progressing. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, bb! Hope your shoulder mends well. I'll have to try that only left hand thing. I may record an entire song only using my left hand. Sounds like an absolutely ridiculous challenge, right up my alley. I recently recorded a song only using an ebow. Pics of the guitar when you get it!

Just a melody. Too hard to record anything else. It's sloppy, but ok for a first go.
