Guitarist's Creed

I wrote this so don't judge me. I copied it from the Rifleman's Creed

Guitarist Creed

This is my guitar. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My guitar is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
My guitar, without me, is useless. Without my guitar, I am useless.
I must play my guitar true.
I must play straighter than anyone who is trying to out play me.
I must beat him before he beats me. I will...

My guitar and myself know that what counts in this war is not the sounds we make,
the noise of our feedback, nor the sounds we make.
We know that it is the fans that count.

My guitar is human, even as I, because it is my life.
Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength,
its parts, its accessories, its strings and its neck.
I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as
I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage.
I will keep my guitar clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before All, I swear this creed.
My guitar and myself are the defenders of my music.
We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is ours and there is no enemy, but peace!

Any suggestions I will try to get a finalized copy on here soon.

So uh. Are you just gunna be a beatnik or are you gunna actually put this into a masterpiece? :3

Viper 2011-03-03 02:32:14

I dont know yet. :)

KurdtCobane 2011-03-03 13:14:36

Well, you should. You've really got something going here. You seem a lot more passionate about playing guitar than I am, and I can write dinky little songs. I don't matter if it's a stupid song, look at Silver, ffs.

Viper 2011-03-03 13:14:36

I wouldn't say I'm THAT passionate about playing guitar.
I've technically only helped write 4 songs. And wrote one myself.
And Sliver is a good song and really simple too. :D

KurdtCobane 2011-03-03 20:12:40

Incesticide is my favorite Nirvana album :3

Viper 2011-03-03 20:12:40

Mine too.
But its a close tie with Bleach though.

KurdtCobane 2011-03-04 17:30:25

If it wasn't for Dive, Bleach would be my favorite lol

Viper 2011-03-04 17:30:25

Whats your favorite song on Bleach? (uses a quizzical look)

Pretty good. I don't know about making music for the fans, though. Personally, I like playing what I think sounds good; if other people like it, then good; if not, then ok.

Viper 2011-03-05 16:43:33

I feel the same way too
But mostly becasue I get really weird feelings in my stomache whever I play in front of people though. Even though Iwas playing in front of people alot which is weird, and htis was while I was in a band for like a year and I never got over it.
Go figure.

Viper 2011-03-06 18:48:08

Wait the Guitar or the Car?
Cause they both are AWESOME!
My sister owns a 1968 Mustang
And my Dad owns a 1967 Mustang
But the guitar is made by Fender.
