So frustrated by my guitar -- well, by my playing -- that I angrily crank the tuning pegs. Moving towards open tuning is like strangling wood and wire. The strings moan in different keys as tension shifts, in an audible sign of resistance. I'm listening. I am. I slow down, more gentle. I'm still hoping to find another sound to break me out of whatever it is I am locked into. I slide the pick across strings. Listen to wide open space. I let it ring out. Somewhere, there's a song. #smallstories
