Ghetto Guitar Hero

I took a few days off from my aspirations of guitar heroism to let my left arm woes heal. My wrist is still clicking a little bit, which doesn't bode well for my future career as a prominent left-handed reliever with a wicked curveball.

I searched for some wrist pain-related advice, and came across someone advising to lower the guitar to waist level or below. Being 6'3" and rather large, the guitar's default strap leaves the controller somewhere below my man boobs, resting on my gut. I vacuumed the dust off of my real guitar's case, only to find that its strap is about the same length. So I improvised.

I grabbed a phone cord that was hanging on my closet door, and fashioned myself a ghetto guitar strap to complement the pack-in. Now I'd be able to strum with my wang if I were so inclined. That would be a YouTube video worth watching.

It works fairly well so far. I played for maybe 45 minutes, and my wrist isn't too bad. And Good Luck Bear seems to find it appealing.

Back on YouTube, this is pretty funny.
