Destiny 2 sucked. I feel sad. And I came across a few bad midi's earlier, I had to go with a few different songs. I wanna hear some strange horror-ish stories about when you were playing guitar. I have one myself. And it’s a bit gory. I was learning how to cook at the time. Every Friday for the past few months, I made ‘Sweet Potato Fries’ or chips, which are delicious. Just chop the sweet potatoes and cover them in oil, season slightly and cook in the oven. This one day I was chopping them, I came across the toughest sweet potato ever. The issue with cutting them was it required force. NEVER, in your cooking career, should you ever have to apply force to do something. This is extremely dangerous, this is why you don’t touch that dumb grater with the razor sharp lines. Not many chefs will tell you this, I wasn’t even taught this in school. If it requires force, it’s risky and dangerous. I held the potato in my left hand whilst I attempted to slice the top of. The idiot that I am and knowing it was risky, I did it, the potato gave in and the knife went through it, up into my finger. This was a fairly thick knife which was designed for cutting, but it had no grip, I prefer using steak knives to cut veg. Much safer and you’re certain to get a groove at the very least when cutting. The knife went two centimetres into my left index finger, my fretting hand. It didn’t hurt because I hit a nerve. That was probably fortunate and unfortunate. I felt sick later, and I got my index finger bandaged up. I didn’t go to hospital because the amount of people that go to this thing we have in the UK called A&E, is ridiculous. You get people who are on deaths bed waiting there, whilst these kids with a bruise are being taken in first. It’s horrible. Anyway, I didn’t want to go there because I was gonna take up too much time. My finger needed only disinfectant and to be bandaged. I couldn’t move it for weeks. Eventually, two weeks passed by and I didn’t need to wear a plaster often. The bleeding stopped whenever it was plastered up though. It didn’t bleed after a month of healing. But during this time, I was panicking thinking ‘How can I play guitar? What am I going to do? Do I just quit for good?’. The most important lesson I learnt in life was to never give up on your dreams. Though they don’t all come true, you can get somewhere with it for yourself. I played guitar, for around 3-4 months, with three fingers for fretting (I played lead and rhythm). My index finger was never used. My middle finger, ring finger, and pinky were the only fingers I used. I learnt to play chords this way. I learnt to play solos this way, eventually, I got so used to it that I could play a lot of songs. I had a few friends that knew about this, but they didn’t know I could play guitar this way so it was surprising. Whether it is impressive or not is completely your own opinion. For me, it’s quite an achievement. I also had to play games with three fingers which I got used to. A year later, my finger is mostly healed. It’s left a scar and a strange bubble from where the skin didn’t attach properly. And my finger is really sensitive on the top. I can play guitar again with four fingers, but doing anything like carrying heavy stuff, I can only use three. I’m worried I will detach the bit of skin that I cut into. It was also partly self harm because I knew it was risky, and I was feeling depressed at the time. Another horror-ish guitar story I have is I once scored 85% on the CDLC version of Through Fire and Flames lead. And I did it again, on the DLC version.
