Battle hymn.



Today. Today...
Today is the day of dragging out leads. Of dialling dials and spending sweat- inducing hours tweaking tweaks. Today is the day of FX sends and returns. It is the day of 18 feet cables. Today is the day of Epiphone SG and Les Paul knock-offs and Rickenbacker 381s and 620s, the day of the Warmoth and the Strat.
Today is the day of 12 strings and six; nylon and steel.
Today is a time filled with tubes and solid states.
Distortions, modulations, compressions, delays and reverberations will fill this day.
Today is the day of the whammy bar.
Today I will fail and I will succeed because I've no idea what I'm doing.
I've done it all before at least a million times, with bloodied and broken fingertips, and still I have absolutely no clue on how to fight.
But I am armed and I am armoured.
Let this war begin again.

When I was old.
