My entire chest cavity has been very sore for about 3 weeks. It's worse depending on how I'm lying/sitting. My throat started hurting last night.

I'm pretty sure I'm dying.

Sweet Virginia by the Rolling Stones. I hadn't played any guitar for at least a month but today I tuned it up and that was what the universe was telling me to play.

Exile on Main St. That's a great vinyl. I bet the Stones had fun making that record. South of France, summer of 1971.

I woke up sick this morning. Can't swallow. Head hurts. Body feels cold. Might now make it through the day...

how often do yall have to tune your guitars?
mine seems to go out of tune about every other day...
assuming cause its not top a of the line guitar
been playing at least 2 hours a day since I got it

or maybe the strings are just stretching out and getting out of tune

Depends how fussy I am feeling. Sometimes I will go ahead and play knowing that it is slightly out of tune but I just say fuck it.

If I want it to be right on though, every other day sounds about right. My guitar is also not top-of-the-line - plus it sits in a spot where it is subject to more temperature and pressure variations than it really should if I took good care. Every other day tuning sounds reasonable to me.

I don't play anywhere near 2 hours a day though. Good for you.

I retune between every song.

There is no such a thing as a guitar that's in tune.

Unless you're playing in front of thousands of adoring fans or laying down tracks for a recording I don't see why this would be necessary

Just out for a drive and there were dead squirrels everywhere. Talking about squirrels that got run over by cars. It is not unusual to see dead squirrels in the roads around here but this was some kind of extreme carnage. There must have been 10 little furry-tailed carcasses in the little 13 minute drive back and forth.

It was like my drive to the store was directed by Oliver Stone.

Some stuff is like pulling teeth. You often hear that expression: "It was like pulling teeth." I have done things in the past which were like pulling teeth and I didn't enjoy them at all. I hope I don't need to do anything that is like pulling teeth today.

No.

I'm anal. Also, when playing a distorted electric, anything that's microtonally out of tune is flagrant, you can hear the clashing waves very clearly.

Are you sure they were dead and not just sleeping?

Walking around IKEA and trying out different beds with a girl is a very relationshpy thing to do.
