I agree! They weren’t open to recommendations however haha.
This is someone who simply refused to tune their guitar, for reference. They would get mad when I tuned it when I wanted to play it. “If it sounds fine, then what’s the point?”. It didn’t sound fine. It sounded like they accidentally caught the guitar while fishing one day.
They were also conceptually offended by the idea of practicing with a metronome. “I’ll play off you, and you play off me”. They simply couldn’t play in time. To an impressive extent, actually. Like if you were deliberately trying not to sync up you couldn’t do it in a more grating way.
Their repertoire consisted of avant-garde renditions of, well, if you guessed you would probably guess right. Wonderwall, time of your life, etc.
But no, I’m not still experiencing it. They dropped out of college to sell knives. I actually ordered a chef’s knife, paid in cash. It never arrived.
Ah, one of those types of musicians. Well, just like in every aspect of life you can’t help those who don’t want to be helped. Oh well, c’est la vie.
It’s like artists who put a red dot to paper, call it post modernism and try to sell it for exorbitant amounts of money.
Sorry to hear about your wasted cash. If it makes you feel better, chef knives are one of the hardest to make well, so even if you did get it, might not have even been worth the wait or the money. At least as it stands now it’s only not worth the money.
