I Love It When A Plan Comes Together

Follow-up to It’s all about the feeling from Group IV

So I’ve been playing guitar again. Since I got my new and shiny Vox pedal, I’ve been spending a lot more time playing than I have for a very long time. It’s funny how it all comes back – suddenly it’s like the old days again, the strings are just in the right place, and magically my fingers are where they should be.

I like feeling my fingertips toughening up again. I like sitting right by the amp while I’m playing, so that the feedback gives infinite sustain, makes the instrument come alive.

I like the feeling that the instrument is just an extension of myself, that I’m not thinking about the technique any more, but just feeling the groove :-)
