Yeah, that's how it starts. All nice an innocent. "Just a strap button".
Next, you start toying around with low-G. What harm could it be, right?
Then you start using a pick. Oh, it's felt at first. Nothing too bad. But then felt doesn't cut it, and you move on to harder stuff.
Later, you begin to wonder what a couple of extra strings would sound like. Of course, you'll need a longer scale and a larger body for that...
Next thing you know, you're looking in the mirror, and brother, you don't like what you see. There's a vacant, hollow, possibly mullet-framed face staring back at you.
You want to undo things. Turn back the clock to those innocent, carefree days when you didn't even have a strap.
But it's too late. The damage has been done.
You're a guitarist.
