When Inspiration Overtakes Common Sense!

What's Hot

So, went out to a great open mic night last night just to watch and see if I thought I would be brave enough to play there. Then tonight went out to eat and to see a guitarist friend play at the restaurant which is always hugely inspiring as he is amazing. However the combination of the two has given me an 'Inspiration Overload' that has chosen now, 12.50am, to peak and I am desperate to go play the arse of my guitar. Slight problem, I live in a bungalow, the rest of the house is sound asleep and I would put my chances of surviving the night at small to non existant if I woke them up! Bugger!!!!
Guess I had better try and get some sleep  and keep my fingers crossed that the inspiration is still there in the morning!

    Headphones. Or if it's an acoustic, just kill then all in their sleep first. No jury would convict. Probably.

    Electrics are quiet enough when played unplugged
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    I was thinking "Tie them up and gaffer tape their mouths shut".
    For good measure, threaten anyone that complains with more of the same if they don't behave and just become an even bigger demon, thus ruling the entire house for the rest of time and then,....you can play your guitar whenever you like at 3 am.

    Go for the prize.
    There can be only one!

    (You may feel a slight buzzing sensation. This is known as 'The Quickening'. If you've been successful this will mean a rush of Euphoria and sense of enormous well being. If not then they've freed themselves, overpowered you and plugged you into the mains. Good luck with that if it happens!)

    @Alnico the gaffer tape option was seriously considered I can assure you!!!  In the end I settled for trying to sleep (unsuccessfully) and when eventually I did manage to drop off I dreamt loads of really weird shit!! I should of played!!

    Still, got it out of my system today. Surfice to say my 12 string amp'd up is most definately not quiet!! Was a good afternoon!

    I wish I did have, however it's full of my hubbies stuff so no room to either make it a music room or alternatively lock hubby and mother in while I make a lot of noise!!
