It has all the things I need to make the musics. A selection of guitars and basses, a clever pedal of wonder that simulates guitar and bass amps as well as being able to handle mics and preamp simulations, a couple of amplifiers, a computer all set up to record, a guitar that can be a banjo, sitar or any one of 20 odd other guitars.
I can’t seem to find the musical talent though. I have looked under the desk and in the box labelled ’stuff’.
When I sit down to play I can amuse myself for hours picking up each one of the instruments and playing with the sounds the pedal can make. What I can’t do is have the discipline to ‘write a song’.
I have zero singing ability and even less lyric writing ability which kind of has me stuck on instrumentals. I think a good instrumental piece probably requires better musical knowledge than what I got.
I got none musical theory. I wonder if I should acquire some.
I think I probably just need someone to jam with, if only there was room in the room for drums.
Oh by the way, if Mum and Dad read this when you come to stay this is the room you will be in. You can figure out where to sleep.
MMMmmmmmmm guitars. That rack thing there isn’t quite full. Maybe a couple more guitars….

How many strings in total?
You can write a literate blog, but you can’t “write a song”?? Bah!
Refocus that energy, James! Refocus.
Try looking in the 3rd drawer down in that little orange thing, or hire a talent scout to help.
5 x 6 strings and 2 x 4 stings sooooo 38 stings in total. 3rd draw down has a selection of screws and an un-activated UK credit card.
