Men are from mars, women are from hell. (I kid, I kid)
So yeah, I came up with another one. Meh.

sooo....
I was trying to tune my guitar because I felt it was a little out of tune, and perhaps I was just having a bad day, but I made a complete mess of things. It sounded absolutely awful. I tried to fix it, but to no avail. So I got frustrated at the only string that was fine (I happened to be tuning the wrong one and then forgot how to get it back to normal)...so I just kept tightening it (out of frustration, perhaps) and wham, broken string. I could say I was surprised, but I wasn't really. Gay.

So I took those musical-hearing tests on Reuben's blog, but this time I am posting my results because I felt like it.
Now, You may think that I simply just took these tests a bunch of times and just posted my best results, and for the most part, you will be correct. The adaptive-pitch test I have taken about 20 times or so, but the last 5 or 6 times that I took it, I got between .375 and 1.05, so I think it's still pretty fair. The rhythm test I took 4 times and got the scores 62, 72, 79 and 88, respectively. The very first time I had no idea wtf I was supposed to be doing, so yeah, I'd say mine is about 80 to be fair to myself. I took the tonedeaf test about 5 times in total, with my last 4 times being 75%. The tonedeaf test, unlike the rhythm test, however, allows you to see your answers after you take them (no, I did not cheat, but then again 75% isn't great, so gfy). It's rather interesting how goddamn close some of those are, and it'd be nearly impossible to achieve perfection on that test.

This kid is fucking amazing.
Young Guitarist
Apparently he only started playing 2 years ago, and now he's 11. He doesn't use tabs, just learned songs by listening to them online. Fucking amazing. Easily one of the best I've ever heard. This version of "Wake me up when September ends" sounds infinitely better for some reason. And to top it all off, he's a finger-guitarist. Simply incredible!
