EXPERIENCES

Wednesday, June 03, 2009

Surely you know this instrument, it's obviously a musical instrument.
Who doesn't know?
I believe some of you are also players of this instrument.

Today's Topic : Tune the Guitar

Well, let's start by talking some features about this instrument, the Acoustic Guitar.
Just to let those who don't really know, have a rough idea.

From head to toe...

Right on top, it's called the Headstock, they have Tuners on them.
Then below the head, it's the Neck, and they have many frets on them.
And right in the middle, it's called the Guitar Hole.
Lastly, the SIX knobs below the hole, it's called the Bridge.

~~~

Back to the topic, it's about the Tuning of this instrument.
Today, my father asked me to change the strings on the Guitar.
It's been long since I've changed the strings of the Guitar.
I probably screwed up the previous time when I was doing it.
Still, he asked me to do so.

So how it is being done??? Just imagine there's no strings on the guitar.
Just imagine....

First, you have to remove a knob from the bridge.
Put one end of the string in there, and then insert the knob back.
Stretch the string towards the head.

Yes, and then you coil it around the tuner.
And you'll probably end up like this...

Wow, you have to admit that it's one nice coil.
And after you've done the first string...
Next will be the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth.

And then, you'll probably be just playing...

And after sometime...
The strings will become rusty, and then you have to put in new strings again.

Well, actually, the topic is not Tuning the Guitar...
It is...

Today's Topic : Tuning our Lives

We are like one knob controlling one string at a time.
And whatever we do, we'll stretch towards greater height to the Headstock.

And then we'll try not to mess things up.

And if things go well, you'll probably look stylish like the picture above.
And if things doesn't go that well... you're probably like... this below...

We all can't be perfect, but we try to make things as perfect as possible.
That's one gift, us Humans have.

And after you have been coiled nicely to the tuner.
You'll have to think of the other strings.

Just like the Guitar, it's a medium for us strings to co-exist.
Smiliar to the World, it's a medium for us Humans that we co-exist.

If you are a string on the guitar, you'd want to be as straight as possible.
As perfect as you can be.
Without making a mess such that other strings will find it hard to live together.

No matter what, we're still humans.
Everyone have flaws, and that what makes us different.
But we shouldn't amplify our weaknesses.
Each of us should deliver our own strengths to our audiences.
Resulting in a harmonizing Chord, where it's pleasing to the ears.

Speaking about a Harmonizing Chord, everyone is co-existing in our world.
In a community, that's what Everyone Human Being should be....
