Theme: Ritchie Blackmore

Musicians who have left great music have also left great words. A nice interpretation of the subject. Words to live by, even if you have to use forcefully in your daily life.

What is our topic today?

No, that's not the case. The guitar doesn’t actually speak...
Now, my classmate in junior high school, Nakamura-kun, liked rock music. This line was left by Nakamura in the writing section of the graduation annual.
“Whenever I want to say something, my guitar speaks for me.”
At that time, I thought it was cool, but when I think about it now, I remember "What? Nakamura had a guitar?" In any case, I remember that many of the comments in junior high school annuals were written under duress. If you were a baseball player, you should have written "One ball soul!" If you're a karate club, you should have written "One-shot deadly!" There must have been many sentimental messages such as "This memory, forever..." Under such circumstances, Nakamura said that the guitar would tell me what he wanted to say! It's cool, but what did he mean?
 
Since the days of Deep Purple, Ritchie Blackmore has given the impression that he is a stubborn person who fires members. He hates interviews, so the image of him saying "Oh, whatever comes to mind" was very strong. That was also cool. However, in guitar playing, he had such an influence that dragged junior high school students who like musical instruments onto the road of rock. Certainly the guitar was talking! Moreover, it also appears in the graduation annual (laughs). Considering that, I really never heard rumors of Nakamura became an adult and playing the guitar at meetings instead of speaking. .

What I want to say is that it is the standard to convey your thoughts in your field of specialty, but the essence of this quote is that it is cool. At the same time in the 70's, there was a TV commercial saying "Shut up, man, leave it to Sapporo beer!" And there was an urban legend of a guy applying for a job there. The interviewer asked the silent man at the time of the interview, "Why are you silent?", he answered, "Shut up, man, leave it to Sapporo beer!" He got a job! It may be said that it was a rough era when such unrestrained behavior was accepted as a kind of coolness.

It is a cool saying that you cannot use unless you find the appropriate timing, but if you have something you really want to convey, why not try playing the guitar first? …I take not responsibility for that!
