its not my ability to play guitar that's a hindrance
it's the fact that whats floating around in my head is impossible to transpose onto a standardly tuned guitar, physically...i have to tune my guitar to accommodate the music

you know you don't want it with the hatred incarnate
show me your pussy and watch me vomit on it
the wicked king wicker chew you up like snickers
she looked at me funny got stabbed in the ticker
the trigger is my quick fix to turn off the suck
6 shots equals six brand new holes fuck
she's stuck in the trunk of an old honda civic
turn a born again christian to a dead again cynic
where's your burka, coatrack whore?
i make more enemies than faith no more
you can call it malpractice when I swing the axe
she's more broken up than Discordance Axis
moved away to try to become an actress
ended getting stuffed inside a mattress
some would tell you she was already a mattress
fuck the bombaclaat, lets play hatris

What's this from?

Boredom...

Actual, honest-to-God boredom.

I used to play in my own made up tunings all the time (sometimes I'd use an SY tuning as well), but I was basically writing not very good Sonic Youth style songs. As I got more into the conventional theory side of music, I began to use standard almost all the time. Now I use key signatures and modulations and other things like that.

Taste testing your own urine tastes like wine

foreigners "i wanna know what love is" is as great a song as "be my baby" or "i can't go for that"?

Ol' Dirty BasTURD was a terrible rapper.

I love the first album! Sorry..

Hahaha!! I agree on forward thinking, but still a terrible,terrible idea.

I guess that makes me an non-existant.

i hope their two songs are guns of brixton and straight to hell.

???? so you're the one that's stealing my thoughts?

king khan & bbq show are fucking awful.

I still can't stop listening to Lady Gaga. Say what you say, but she outdid everyone in that genre.

^That's what makes it "unpopular"...

As far as standard vs. open/altered tunings, I agree that weird/interesting sounding chords are easier to play in open tunings, but leads are next to impossible.

Also, I've found that playing in altered tunings too much can cause songs to sound alike, especially if you're using drone tunings.
