Early Adopter
The blues man stared down the young rocker as they prepared to battle. Fiddled with his guitar. The old fingers first seemed to be tuning. On closer inspection, he was loosening and then removing the bottom two strings. One and two. High E and B. Released them from the pegs. Then popped out the bridge pins and pulled the wires fully free. Tossed them aside. Forfeiting the high end of his range.
“What the hell are you doing?” snarled the pompadoured challenger, internally rejoicing over his good luck.
The blues man smiled. “Just tryin’ to make it a fair fight.”
She watched his fingers depress the strings and she heard the guitar sing to his touch.
Such long elegantly fine fingering to extract every ounce of feeling from the melody.
Her eyes fixed on those fingers.
His eyes lifted towards her, and she knew, that he knew exactly what she was thinking. Imagining.
The tempo quickened, she shifted in her chair. Uncomfortably sensually aroused.
And then the guitar solo with his hands reaching aggressively and rhythmically up and down the length of the neck of the instrument.
She crossed her legs and his eyes followed.
They would meet later, yes.
