When I was growing up in Oregon, the dude that was the awesomest best skiier, was the guy wearing Levi's and really shitty skis. Some things never change.

- sramsay 13y agoI'm a pretty good (acoustic) guitarist, and I swear it's because the guitar I began with probably should have been used as kindling. The action sucked, so I developed excellent finger strength. The poor tension made it really easy to choke a string, so I developed incredible accuracy. It was really "buzzy," so I learned complicated finger-style patterns just so it wouldn't sound so bad when I played. The first time I got my hands on a real guitar, I sounded like Andres Segovia. :) I won't say that I never tried to blame my tools after that, but I do often manage to remind myself that when things are going wrong it's probably not the fault of the knife, hammer, programming language . . .
- alan_cx 13y agoReminds me of Seasick Steve. He plays a guitar with 3 strings missing. Sounds better than most with all 6.
