Last Song for a Sold Guitar
Liner Notes
I'm just goofing off to catch up. I'm actually selling a Reverend Sensei 290 guitar today and this is the last song ever written on it. I think it may even be the first song ever written on it, actually. I've had it about ten years. Barely used, except for one show where it took a dive onstage, resulting in some character chips that reduced the value of the instrument a bit.
Recorded on my Zoom R4 using the Reverend Sensei 290, a Squier Jazz bass loaned to me by @roblyon5150, and a 20 year old Yamaha PSR-170 on the "Hot Organ" setting (allegedly it's the toy that John Legend used to learn piano!). It was gifted to me a week ago, when I spared it from a fate in a dumpster.
Lyrics
You know, I got a message on Marketplace from a guy named John I wonder if that's his real name but my guitar is gone if I'll take 300 cash even though I'm asking four Well, I kinda need the money and I don't play it anymore
This is the last song I'll ever write on this old guitar I could've gotten more for it if not for the battle scars
Well, You know, it's mostly been in the closet I never took it on the road Played "Chinese Rocks" on it a couple of times but it only played one show. Damn...

Delightful little tune and definitely rocking! Maybe it will be playing more shows with John or whoever…

Kudos for writing a song about selling a guitar. Such a good idea. And definitely a pleasant goodbye!

I love the vibe! I love its guitar tone and the lyrics. Made me laugh. So relatable.

the song itself works and is good. You could have possibly repeated "This is the last song..." But also you can add that later.

A nice tribute to the Reverend, has a great punky tone! I do a similar thing before selling gear. 🙂

Glad you got to write one last song on the old gal!

This is kinda tragic, man. It's always tough to let go of that behind the couch guitar that was always there for you
