Simone Giertz

But I've been thinking about it because I'm like, oh man, it would be really fun to go back to that project with what I know now.

But the problem with it is that when you're producing the tension in your string just with your arm, like you can't make it taut enough to actually play.

Like it kind of becomes playing these like saggy strings.

So you're not really getting that experience.

And I think that's why, I mean, I...

Yeah, I haven't really pursued it.

Yeah, but then it kind of becomes this whole thing and a guitar.

Then it just becomes a really shitty guitar.

Which, this is a really shitty guitar, but it's also...

Yeah, I don't know.

No, it definitely was an off-road build where it's like if you're building a Lego kit, it's very much on the road and you're following instructions.

And this is like you have no idea if you're headed for a cliff or a dead end or you're going to get stuck.

I think it had a natural pressure to it because it was a school project.

So it did have deadlines built into it and stuff like that.

So that definitely helped.

But I think also it was just so incredibly motivating when I realized that I might be able to pull it off.

I felt like a bloodhound.

You're just like, oh my God, I can actually make this happen.

And I think if I hadn't seen that, the horizon, it would have been harder to stick through.

No, not really.
