about

Some friends recently asked me to find a guitar for their offspring. They'd listened to me drone on over the years about how a cheap guitar package, the under £100 "kit", has been responsible for more people being put off for life than any other single influence. They set a reasonable budget and entrusted me to find something "either new or used" that would suit a beginner.

The shop assistant was quite pleasant when I said I just wanted to try a few in the price range I had the budget for. He pointed me in the right direction and I got comfy trying a few. After five minutes he wandered over and asked if I wanted to plug them in. I said "not really", and continued strumming first position chords, simply trying to get a feel for how it would suit a beginner. Rather than bugger off and leave me in peace, he started asking questions about style, amps, effects and so on. I told him I just wanted something for a beginner.

His first mistake was in assuming I meant me. His second mistake was in becoming patronising and explaining that I'd be better off with one of their £70 packages seeing as I was "just learning".

I remembered the teachings of Viktor Frankl, paused, and chose my response. I got up and walked out, leaving him to put the guitars away.

The title comes from a favourite meme of mine. "Underestimate me... that'll be fun."

So this track is me getting my own back on the shop assistant without him knowing it.

There are no lyrics, it's an instrumental.
