In the beginning of Given, Uenoyama talks about how it took him a while to be able to play the guitar how he wanted. Uenoyama plays a Fender '72 Custom Shop Telecaster. At first I did not know the significance of this line, but after having attempted to play a telecaster twice I can tell you that bitch does not make any of the sounds you want it to, nor that you would expect it to, and that line actually points to this fact and tells the audience exactly how skilled Uenoyama is on the guitar.

#seriously #before I played the telecaster I was unaware of how diffierent different electric guitars were #I knew the difference between accoustic and classical and that's it #but after having tried out the telecaster I can tell you that most instruments do have souls of their own #the telecaster however does not #given is not only a phenomenal bl #but it's also a great guide to starting music #it introduces two guitars that are pretty much polar opposites of eachother to give you an idea of the spectrum of electric guitars #then it teaches you the importance of staying in tune and shows how the different characters tune their instruments #some by ear and some using a tuner #it demonstrates string changes and addresses a lot of the fears beginners might have #it introduces effect pedals and teaches the importance of testing the equipment before buying it #it teaches people about buyins second hand #which is something beginners might not consider doing due to nervousness from inexperience #this is probably one of the best animes I've ever watched #and not only did it contribute to my love and understanding of music #the more I know about music the more I appreciate just how much work went into making this show as authentic as possible
