hi guitar side of tumblr
so im really interested in learning how to play guitar, and I love rock music and want to go in that direction. I really wanna learn electric guitar and ITS SO COOL but I’ve heard a lot of people say I should learn acoustic first-which I also really wanna learn how to play-but I think I’d be more interested in electric because it’s more like the type of music im interested in.
WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IS should i learn acoustic guitar before trying electric?
also literally ANY tips/information about learning guitar would be very appreciated (like REALLY REALLY appreciated I don’t know what im doing trying new things is scary)

Interesting how one week with a disrespectful, lazy, stupid, rude, know it all coworker who's 5 years younger than me and doesn't know shit but somehow got in through nepotism can make my blood boil so hard I threw up three times in the past two days and got ulcers, yet while I was working as a bartender and had to deal with rude drunkards who overstepped boundaries and had to be escorted out by security or had the police called on them, I was pretty chill about it and got over it shortly after

Somtimes you blank on stage
Sometimes it is just not your day
But my moment of success
Was when I didnt make a fuzz about it
I actually feel okay
Scratch that I feel nothing
It is in the past
I cannot do anything about it
And that is actually great for once

speaking of my basic taste in music, i'm wide awake, it's morning is my ultimate fall album so i've been listening in the car and i was a postcard / i was a record / i was a camera / until i went blind still hits, like, traumatized fourteen-year-old levels of hard

Mm i left bandom space a long long time ago. I mean I'm not that old but ten years ago is still pretty long. And frankly if i overstep lemme know.
Honestly at this point i shouldnt be surprised so many people are actually still inherently racist towards Ray, but also i think, i should be. Because i genuinely expected better from mcr bandom, but again, left bandom spaces a decade ago...
It's pretty sad? Like. I'll admit, I didn't realize Ray was actually a man of colour when i was younger. I think i realized right around the time i left at 15 or so. Which also really goes to show that racism towards him and making him seem as white as possible which definitely i think was a thing. Like in comparison, I knew pete wentz was mixed long before i figured out Ray was a poc. It says a lot about the space at the time and i had honestly thought it'd be better now.
I've loved mcr for years, but i havent been IN love with them for a while. It happens, relationships and feeling wax and wane. But this tour, the excitement and love recently ignited in not just Gerard with all their gender fuckery, but the whole band, has brought a love and joy back into my life for music that hit me in the heart as a preteen and teenager.
And none of that would be possible without Ray Toro putting his all into the feelings and conveying of in his music. Mikey made the band, but ray MAKES the band. He is absolutely fucking integral and it is disgusting & disheartening to see him treated such a way. What the fuck even, hearing that streamers are zooming in on frank during Rays solos?? Like do the fuck better? I'm honestly disappointed as fuck in that shit. Like I know this whole thing is a little disjointed stream of consciousness type post but really. White people do better challenge! Its literally SO fucking easy. The real camera guys are RIGHT THERE showing what to fucking do!
You can love the others as much as you want but jesus fuck give Ray the same fucking courtesy. Stop ignoring your racism, start recognizing the issues that plague you from being white and growing up in white privilege. I sure as fuck still have plenty of shit to work on but at least i can say i can do the bare fucking MINIMUM of giving Ray Toro the respect and attention he absolutely fucking deserves.
Like I do hope this is understood I am not trying to speak over anyone but simply say from one white to another: you need to do better. If that's how you treat a member of supposedly one of your fav bands, i genuinely fear for the poc you encounter in your life. The harm you cause by staying blind may be incremental but it builds up until it's a mountain. Do fucking better.

Just had a realization that proobably the reason I cry every time I see Steve Burns (Steve from blues clues) is bc both before he shaved his head AND after he looks like my f*ther and I think even baby me realized how often my f*ther wasn’t around for one reason or another and latched onto the first guy that looked like him
