That was better than watching TV

Writers block is still a thing, but it starts to get better. I found myself constantly changing guitars when I felt like an idea wasn't really working.

This time when I took the baritone, everything started to fall nicely into place. It's still not my guitar since it's my brother's, but it became a stable in my guitar stand.

It sounds stupid, but even if it's my least used one, I love looking at it. The neck is one of the most comfortable ones ever for me and nothing's missing soundwise. Every time I manage to get a recording done with it, I wonder why I don't use it more often.

I guess it's still a niche instrument for me. Having the B-tuning of my 7string while being a 6string and me just having a bass tuned to D, too much thinking is probably the thing putting me off for the most part.

Maybe it works best when my mind isn't running circles beforehand.
