Why is it that the songs that sound like they would be amazingly fun to play just aren't? I was looking up tabs for Third Eye Blind's "I'll Never Let You Go" and realized that yes, the chord progression in the middle is just the silly power chords being moved around thing. I hate power chords, they're boring. Total entertainment rip-off. C'mon, how much fun is it to play three strings with three fingers? Not a lot. Also, it sounds great when they do it, and insanely awkward when I do. Bah. The same thing goes for the entire repertoire of Me First & the Gimme Gimmes. Hmph.

By the way, shaktool, I'm pretty sure it's sentences like "Hmph" that are totally murdering my Fleisch-Kincaid reading level.

Hmm, I would have thought that the Third Eye Blind song would have been fun too. That's a disappointment.

It's more entertaining, I've discovered, when borrowing my dad's father's day present of this cool guitar ... thing ... that you run the electric guitar through before the amp and it has a million different settings to distort stuff and goof around. But, yeah, the power chords by themselves are way more boring than they sound like they should be.
