As you absorb the wisdom from Thorpe’s lesson…
A Newfound Confidence Surges Through Your Veins
With a defiant puff of your chest, you re-enter your home amidst the jarring feedback, but inside…
Your living room has been transformed into a battleground of guitars!
Sparks materialise in the air.
Thorpe’s artistry clashes with the cringe-inducing strains of Tino’s ill-fated Ed Sheeran jazz cover.
It’s your moment to join this musical duel.
An impromptu jam session ensues and your guitar harmonises with Thorpe’s.
Together your beautiful music drowns out Tino.
During this showdown, a revelation hits you…
Tino’s annoying remarks are not just irritations; they are echoes of the Gatekeeper’s curse.
But Tino retaliates.
He plays louder, yet the sublime harmonies you and Thorpe create prove too much for his feeble resistance.
The room resonates with the victory of your musical collaboration, and Tino the Terrible succumbs as…
His strings snap one by one!!!
He falls to the ground with the thud of a thousand bass drums…
However, the battle is not over.
With a sudden surge of defiance, Tino rallies for a final onslaught.
He crawls to a spare guitar in the corner of your room…
…And plays louder than ever.
You and Thorpe counter every move.
The clash of strings becomes more intense, creating a symphony of chaos and triumph.
“Get your damn greasy paws off my guitar!” you say to Tino with defiance
…And at that moment, Tino’s resistance crumbles under the weight of your combined musical prowess.
He crashes out the door as fast as a Hendrix solo, never to be seen or heard from again.
“That was the final test”
…declares Thorpe, unveiling Tino as the last loyal follower of the Gatekeeper.
With shared smiles, you both high-five each other with one more victorious toast, proclaiming,
“To the love of the six-string and all the joy it can bring.”
Thorpe gets his beef sandwich and crisps and you get a lifetime of guitar-playing passion.
In an instant, Thorpe has gone and the legend of “Tino the Terrible” fades into just another eccentric chapter in your ongoing saga with the Acoustic Asylum.
It marks a testament to the uncharted territories you explore in the pursuit of musical mastery…
…But as the day draws to a close…
You stand tall under the moonlight… You play beautiful music with elegance, proud of what you’ve achieved during this crazy week… with a wide grin as you think about the future of your guitar playing and life ahead…
THE END
