Six String Sloppiness by Zidders Roofurry

If you play guitar, and you're feelin' down,
Got that same ugly feelin' always comin' round.
Every note is jangly, slightly bent askew,
You just can't seem to play a whole song through.

Just keep in mind players like Jimmy Page,
The ones who seem so invulnerable up on stage.
That dude is sloppy, he doesn't care.
His playin' gets messy, just like his hair.

Playing skill is good, but it's not all,
It's feel and emotion that holds em' in thrall.
Heart should guide, and flow through fingers,
That's what makes the music that lingers.

Six String Sloppiness

I wrote this for Jimmy Page's 70th B-day. Was watching 'Celebration Day'. Noticed Mr. Page don't care. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHaqS3Ccc78 Dude is sloppy as heck, and he's STILL one of the greatest. Slash is pretty sloppy at times, too.

Feels good.
