[Cantankerous]

i learned on my own in a room with a guitar, okay? no sheet music, no lessons, no nothing. that's a bit more impressive than being able to read music. i don't care if i'm technically proficient or whatever fucking snob term you want to use, i don't need to be because that style of playing is not tailored to the kind of music i write and play. i don't need to be versatile, i can play rhythm guitar and knock out an OK lead if need be, but really it doesn;t matter to me
