i taught myself some/most of it on piano very roughly and it was really just very fun, other people be damned! don’t let your dreams be dreams!

A minor, D, D minor, G, D, D minor, G, E minor. Wait a minute no two verses are alike? And the chorus: 

Am E MajorE C majorC
Toss a coin to your Witcher
D MajorD A minorAm
O’ Valley of Plenty
D MajorD A minorAm
O’ Valley of Plenty
A minorAm
O’

A minorAm E MajorE C majorC
Toss a coin to Your Witcher
D MajorD E MajorE E7E7 A minorAm
O’ Valley of Plenty

Yeah that’s. That’s definitely not the 1,4,5,1 structure my teacher’s been working on with me. I can’t…. even… can that be right?? [link to my source: https://www.guitartabsexplorer.com/sonya-belousova-Tabs/toss-a-coin-to-your-witcher-crd.php  I am not sure this is accurate.]

Anyway I clearly don’t know enough about modern songwriting structure. This is far too complicated for me to figure out for a joke, so. No, alas.

sigh I’ve been having thoughts on and off about maybe finding a cheap-ass lute somewhere bc what I’ve got is a keyboard and piano is hard and now they’re turning from thoughts into That Would Be A Hilarious Joke, Do It, Y'know You Could Sing While Playing It, Too, It’s Kind Of Like A Small Guitar, Right, And Those Are Supposed To Be Fairly Quick To Pick Up (when you’re not doing classical guitar, jesus no)

Well, speaking as a Player Of Obscure Stringed Instrument, it seems to me the only way to really do anything is to find an instructor. For me. YMMV a great deal, of course, but I’ve owned a guitar for a full  twenty years and can’t play it like at all, and I even bought a harp like a decade ago to no avail, and now after a year of banjo lessons I can, well ok I can play the songs I’ve learned and clearly can’t teach myself new ones so maybe I’m not a good judge of literally anything…

In other news, now thanks to a generous donor I have seen episode 2 of the Witcher and can say several things for certain: 1) I still don’t know what the fuck is going on but I can get what they’re doing with the timeline, I don’t know why but sure why not, 2) OK I get why people like this, and 3) Henry Cavill is working way harder than this fucking deserves, he is a goddamned treasure.
