Introduction, and misgivings

I'm CGKnight. 19 years since inception, living in Delhi, India, and a career classical guitarist in training. I'll be writing with my friend and life support dreamzlikemine, who is an applied artist in training - which I was till a while ago, too.

We take our work seriously - rather an understatement, it's who we are. (That line will always remind me of 'The Recruit'. "It's what we do, not who we are". I constantly debate within myself as to which approach is better, but that's for later.) I in particular have some insane and popularly disdained goals to achieve, and therefore keep myself going as well as I can. Music tends to fill up most of my conversation, which makes me a rather boring company for most.

Then permit me to say at this point that all my posts on this blog will unfailingly be full of musical chatter and even more of my unpopular views on the world and its ways. In the future, I may add videos of my playing, to know if others think I have what it takes.

The whole purpose of this blog is to know what other people think of what I say and do. That's one goal; what consequences it may bring is beyond my perception, for now.

There's a meeting coming up tomorrow. A band wants a guitarist and a drummer. Me and my long time multi-instrumentalist friend are applying for those respective positions, and meeting the band manager. It's odd, I've been studying classical guitar for slightly more than one year, around 5 years of casual, on-and-off steel string playing before that, and recently touchstyle on 7 stringed electric guitar, but this is the first time I'm getting a chance to apply for a band. Probably because there are way too many guitarists around.

Oddly enough, I'm having misgivings about this. Something tells me that I'll get assassinated by gun-toting mercenaries before I make it. Someone would have tipped them off about me leaving. I read this somewhere, that one should make themselves random, and avoid patterns, to avoid becoming predictable. That's kind of hard to do. Before this, I thought that there'll be a terrorist attack/bomb drop there. It's a well-known coffee shop at the most packed station of the Metro - the best I can do is to just stay alert, and ready to duck behind whatever form of cover I can find.

I think it'd be best if nothing of that kind happened at all, though.
