A few weekends ago I was in guitar center dreaming about owning half of the guitars in that place. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw this guy with his girlfriend I guess. He was over by the more expensive guitars (the ones I never even go near, you know you can look but you can't touch). I noticed he was showing off to this girl and she was actually kind of impressed. What made me mad was he had a two thousand dollar Les Paul hooked up to a five hundred dollar Marshal Amp and a two hundred dollar pedal board in between. I found out this combination makes smoke on the water sound magical. Now I'm not one to pass up an opportunity like this to make someone mad so I picked up a squire Telecaster which cost about one hundred and fifty bucks, and hooked it up to an off brand amp. I began to play Johnny B. Goode which is a good deal harder to play. First off it uses all six strings instead of just one, and as soon as you play one lick you need to roll off of it and go to another one. This made him mad and he started to play Iron man, a song that uses two strings. I switched from my original blues song and started improving just as fast as I could possibly play. I used every effect I knew without the use of a pedal board I bent everything from strings to the guitar neck. After this he just got up and left so I decided to leave him alone. So remember next time you see a guy showing off you don't have to make him fail you just have to show him up yourself.
P.S. I'm sure there is some Biblical reference to this being okay, I just couldn't find it.
