Kiyevame ma Telecaster

[tm20]

I began playing guitar in year 7 because my high school made it compulsory for the first 2 years to learn an instrument so i chose guitar because i was told a family friend had a spare. i got the case, opened it and looked at the instrument that laid inside, a Telecaster, and so began my journey into the world of music. i never enjoyed it heaps or was enthusiastic about guitar playing but i was actually a bit of a fast learner. whatever song i had to learn for the guitar ensemble i learned faster than most of the others in the ensemble, and i always got the hardest parts to play along with some others. after learning the basics of reading music and the basic chords then came learning some songs, and then some more theory. i never took it seriously because i wasn't into the type of music that was played on the guitar so at the end of year 9 i quit. i put the guitar back in the case and into the spare room of the house, not to be touched for what i thought would be for ever.

Then in 2009 a friend asked me to bring my electric guitar to his place as he wanted to try it. i brought it but he didn't play it and i ended up being reunited with an old friend. that's when i decided to get back into playing this great instrument, my love for rock and metal was stronger by then and it only grew from then on. i learned more theory and songs, my musical knowledge grew exponentially and my mp3 player was filling up quickly. at the end of 2010 i decided it was time to buy a new guitar so i bought an Ibanez SA thinking i wouldn't need the Telecaster but it kept me coming back to it and i ended up playing it more than the SA. I have learned so much with this guitar and it has served me well, but its time to say goodbye. being an old guitar there are somethings about it which just don't cut it, so with that i just want to say Irayo ma Telecaster, you have been great all these years and i'll never forget you.

You shouldn't have put it away. Nostalgia is awesome and I still have all my guitars.

I haven't played my telecaster in years. They're lovely guitars though.

Oooh congrats!!
I don't think you'll ever forget your old one though.

well, it hasn't even been half a year and already my RGA is giving me problems > today i turned on my stuff to discover a high buzzing/squealing noize. at first i thought it was the amp so i tried another and the same noise came out. i opened up the guitar to haave a look at the wiring and it looked ok. now i got this annoying noise and i don't know what's causing it but i know it's coming from the guitar -_____-

[Human No More]

Hmm, that sucks
I know a lot of people from bands, I'll see if any of them have an idea.

[iron_jones]

Take it to a music shop, they'll be able to help

[Human No More]

Did you try another cable?

[tm20]

i think it was something in the area that was putting out some sort of signal and my guitar was picking it up. i tried it this morning and it was fine

[LOVEavatar]

HOORAY!

[tm20]

hmmm the signal is back again.... wtf is this shiiit :|
*dissapeared for a while and now its back
*apparently a solar flare is causing all this and many electric devices are suffering. atleast we get a slim chance to see an aurora tonight

GUITAR IS FUKD, need to get it fixed >: ( stupid ****en sun, why did you have to solar flare
