A good job, makes for a simple rhythm guitar part for a second guitar. Now guys try to act like professionals, everyone has to start somewhere to get there feet wet.

I'm so confused.... what happened? ...playin' music, transposing, composing, tryin' new stuff, and theeeeeeeeeen....*hands gesturing at dialogue*..... A series of "wtf"’s and raised eyebrows and an incredulous snort interrupted my music flow.....man, I was havin' fun..... apparently I missed a gigantic offense.....I'ma stay over here and jam.....a single ass cheek WOULD look strange....since everyone is contributing, I dropped it a whole step and have been dirty blues-ing it up on the keys. I like it.
