~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

♪ takes his practice VERY seriously. he usually practices with chris in his room when they wanna learn a song together but if he’s not in his room, he’s chilling with you in y’all’s room. 

♪ he would spend hours on end attempting to learn a single song or riff. (especially if he’s learning one of your favorite songs or if you gave him a recommendation. he wants to give you the best yk) you have to force him to take breaks sometimes because he just refuses to stop until he gets it perfect. 

“baby, I think you should take a little break. you seem a little too worked up over this.” 

“i’m almost there! i just need to get this riff down.” 

♪ you’ve had to take the guitar away from him when he was playing so much to the point that his fingers were bleeding. he ends up putting up a fight every time and reassures you that it doesn’t hurt at all.

“matt, blood is on your strings. how does that not hurt?”

“it’s natural, love! i’m used to it, don’t worry. If i was in pain, i would’ve stopped by now.”

“let me clean your fingers up at least.” 

♪ he then allows you to drag him to the bathroom to help clean up his fingers. winces every time your brush over the blisters with rubbing alcohol, which earns a light scolding from you telling him that he should pay more attention to what he’s doing. 

♪ gets so excited when you tell him that you wanna learn. he doesn’t allow you to find another guitar teacher since he’s right there. 

♪ when he’s teaching you, you’re sitting on his lap with his guitar on your thighs. he takes his hand in yours and gently walks you through each chord. (uses this as an excuse to hold your hand) 

bonus! gives you a small kiss on the neck or cheek whenever you strum a chord correctly. he loves to see you get flustered when he does it. 

♪ you stay up with him pretty late to watch him play. you often fall asleep when he plays slow songs. shits just so calming. 

♪ you enjoy kissing him on the lips, forehead, and cheek when he successfully plays through a song he’s been struggling with as a little reward. the faint blush on his cheeks that follows is absolutely adorable and you tend to tease him a little about it. 

♪ you’re his no1 fan when he records covers for his instagram and tiktok. when he finally posts the cover, you’re the first to hype him up and comment on how amazing he did. (the fans adore how supportive you are) 

♪ when he’s in a clingy mood and needs to practice, he’s lying against you while you sit up or sitting on your lap. as he plays, you card your fingers through his hair, massage his scalp, and rub his shoulders. he gets so relaxed by your touch that he ends up ditching his practice to nap against you. 

“what about your practice? you’ve been complaining all day that you need to get this song down before tomorrow.”

“too tired, it can wait. can you keep going please? i love when you play with my hair.”

♪ enjoys when he asks for a kiss every time he plays something correctly. even if he already had the song down, he demands for a kiss from you to keep him “motivated.” 

“please love? just one more kiss.” 

“baby, i played the riff right. don’t you think i need a little reward?” 

♪ when you’re struggling to fall asleep, he plays a soft tune on his guitar to lull you to sleep. it works EVERY time. 

♪ you love going to the music store with him and watching him geek out over guitars. (y’all end up leaving with him buying a new guitar and gear)

♪ you comment on how you think a certain guitar is pretty? he’s buying it right then and there and is playing it until it breaks or you say another one is nice. 

♪ you find this hobby of his SO attractive. like yes, you deeply enjoy listening to him play but watching how his long and slim fingers dance once the fret and strings just causes you to freak out a little. you’re a mess when he’s in an all black outfit and is lazily strumming his guitar. he just looks so good ?!? (he ends up teasing you when he catches you staring at him with rosy cheeks) 

♪ sometimes plays so loud to the point that nick has to yell at him to turn it down before they get another noise complaint.

Keeping my mouth shut here and expecting absolutely nothing from Museblr. Expectations in the basement. In the gutter, even.

Tom Morello uses a Digitech WH-1 Whammy for the guitar solo in "Like a Stone," which is like a $500-$800 highly collectible and desirable pedal.

I believe the originals are made in Canada, but subsequent versions of the pedal--which sell for far less--appear to be made in China, which I don't want. But I also don't want to spend $500+ on a weird, collector's item pedal that I only really want so that I can play one song that came out when I was 14

I found one of the fifth generation models on Reverb that was from an early run made in the USA, so. . .I went ahead and bought that

But it's shipping from Italy
