Kablammo!

So I’ve been spending a good deal of the past few days practicing Jose Luis Merlin’s “Evocacion” on guitar, and I’ll say I’ve learned two things (two things other than how to play the piece in question, that is).

1. If you’re playing classical guitar, playing in the classic classical guitar position is actually a very good, helpful, and comfortable thing. Granted, if I’m drunkenly playing Radiohead songs I don’t really care how I hold my guitar (or whether it’s in tune, for that matter), but when each note played is of vital importance, you have to take certain measures.
2. Alcohol really fucks with your fine motor skills. Granted, if I’m drunkenly playing Radiohead songs I don’t really care how well I finger/strum my guitar (or whether it’s in tune, for that matter), but when each note played is of vital importance, you have to take certain measures.
