Subject: RE: Dear Mr. Guitar
Dear Dr.Guitar,
Thank you for your recent help with my amp. problem (those new numbers certainly look like they'll do the trick!).
I am hoping that you can help me again with an item I'm reading in the recent issue of "Guitar playing sex god,(Van Halen in a day)". The article is concerned with playing high-speed lead guitar and suggests learning "licks" and using "pinched harmonicas".
My problems are threefold;
1)How practical is a lead guitar? Surely prolonged use of such a heavy instrument would cause serious back problems. Would graphite be a useful substitute?
2) Is it wise to lick anything made of lead? (I'm given to understand this could be damaging to ones intellect)
3) Would a bought harmonica not work just as well as a stolen one? Is this just part of the "Rock and Roll" mentality that I need to embrace if I'm to pursue my goal of Rock Legend?
Mrs. Sole has expressed her concern about the links between theft and drug habits, and fears that a foray into petty crime may lead me down a "dark and slippery path to ruin". She has already emptied the medicine cabinet and insists on doing the "weekly shop" by herself.
I look forward to being able to tell Mrs. Sole that her fears are groundless,
Your obedient servant,
R.Sole (Legend in waiting)
