Previous Episode: The Gatekeeper’s G.A.M.E.S.H.O.W.
Epilogue
After making the long journey home from destroying the Acoustic Asylum and beating the Gatekeeper…
You feel refreshed and are enjoying a peaceful, tranquil day. It’s like a comforting lull of a lazy Sunday afternoon.
The echoes of your escape from the Acoustic Asylum seem distant, fading like a haunting melody.
You sip on a hot, steaming coffee, the birds harmonise outside, and the gentle sun bathes your living room in warmth. You decide to jam so you pick up your guitar and start playing…
…Surrounded by the soothing tones of your guitar, you’re blissfully unaware that…
Your peaceful day is on the verge of chaos!!!
Abruptly, your front door gets violently kicked open, revealing the entrance of ‘Tino the Terrible.’
A man who loves Dr Feelgood, so he dresses…
…in a doctor’s outfit.
Emanating a cloud of questionable cologne and exuding the charm of a used car salesman.
“I’m Tino,” he exclaims. “Ya wanna buy ma a guitarre?”
He pauses and glances at you playing guitar.
With a sudden jolly in his shifty eyes, his melodramatic performance begins.
He starts by criticising your every strum and pluck.
He bounces off to your kitchen to help himself to a bowl of cornflakes.
Just as you grapple with Tino’s Terrible manners…
The front door crashes open once more
“Who is it now?” you mutter with pursed lips. “Someone’s hell-bent on wrecking my dammed front door.”
…But this time, a smile graces your face…
Because it’s your old pal, Thorpe… He’s back and…
Bursting through the entrance like a guitar hero on a rescue mission
“Ahoy, my trusty pal,” Thorpe says to you. “It’s good to see you”.
“As you know, I’m not a doctor, and I don’t try to be one, unlike Tino…
…But they do call me the “Guitar Doctor” because I can heal my students’ bad habits, sore fingers, and painful playing.”
“Speaking of which,” says Thorpe.
…”Make sure you download my free eBook, The Guitar Doctor.
It will help you fix 35 BAD guitar-playing issues many struggle with.
Thorpe then tells you a shocking secret.
He reveals how Tino the Terrible is a member of the Gatekeeper’s gang from the cursed Acoustic Asylum, which is…
A clandestine secret society.
“They are hell-bent DEVOTEES of the Gatekeeper,” Thorpe says. “Tino is the final obstacle.”
“He’s a villainous last-ditch effort by the spirit of the Gatekeeper to obstruct your musical journey”
You attempt to usher Tino out of the house.
After all, you want to make Thorpe a beef sandwich with a pack of chips (or “crisps” as he calls them – him being English)…
…Tino strikes up his Gibson Flying V guitar
Strumming a C chord, a piercing feedback reverberates through the air.
…But somehow Tino’s guitar isn’t even plugged in! Maybe he has the power of the Gatekeeper in him after all.
Maybe he isn’t just a bumbling fool.
Both you and Thorpe clutch your ears in agony, the pain akin to a thunderous AC/DC gig.
Amidst the sonic assault, Thorpe shouts to you:
“Go outside. Quickly. Take my phone, watch one of these lessons, and apply the lessons now.”
“It’s the only way to defeat him and his screaming feedback.”
Thorpe fights back against Tino while you hastily head outside to avoid the pulsating noise. On the phone, you see five options for quick lessons from Thorpe. They are:
Option 3: Master Finger Dexterity
Option 4: The Secret Shoulder Technique
Option 5: Jam the Blues With a 4-Note Scale
