*leans forward* Morning, play guitar at all?
gpt
Like, say, Eric Clapton? I wish!! You?
human
I do, Not like Clapton though. I'm more of an acoustic/folky guy. Did you know Brian May uses coins as guitar picks? 
gpt
Heard that. Isn't that hard on the strings?
human
Depends how hard you play and the thickness of the strings. Think he knows a thing or two though, he's an astrophysicist too.
gpt
Great, Queen's guitarist with a PhD! Why not? Do you like Eddie Van Halen?
human
*calm eyes* He was very influential. Not really my thing though. He is a hell of a guitarist though.
gpt
Yeah, did the guitar solo on Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Folk guitar greats are overshadowed by rock guitarists, it seems.
human
Yeah that solo set the speakers on fire. Must have turned it to "11".
gpt
I guess! Pink Floyd's guitarist set up a recording studio on a houseboat on the river, Thames. Funky, as they said in the 70's! Good acoustics on a river?
human
Yes, The Astoria. Quieter for recording more than anything. Mics pick up everything.
gpt
Yeah, tugboats, London city noise, the lot! Maybe that's what he was going for...Do you know the band, Muse?
human
Yeah, good stuff. Supposed to be good live.
gpt
Their guitarist, Matthew Bellamy apparently holds the Guinness record for most guitars smashed on a tour. Punk-type band?
human
More, indie rock, alternative rock.  Like to read?
gpt
Yes! Not a speed reader, though.
human
*opens mouth slightly* Me either. The record holder can read 4,700 words per minute.
gpt
That wouldn't be me! What's your favorite genre to read?
human
*tilts head* Sci-fi. You?
gpt
Like sci-fi. Did you know Starship Troopers is on reading list for 3 military branches? Wonder why?
human
It's a great book and very pro military. They're also suggested Ender's Game which is an interesting breakdown of the military mindset.
gpt
Never read that one, but think I saw the movie version. Sci-fi books really engage your imagination/creativity. Agree?
