The story of how I spent my Steemit Break continues. I played a lot more guitar during my break than I did during my first year on Steemit. Rather than concentrating on mastering new guitar licks, I instead played around with chords, learned the chords to a bunch of my favorite songs, and simply amused myself.

Tiny Demons is a beautiful song I suspect no one here will have ever heard before. One day I decided to learn how to play the backing chords -- great thing about the Internet, nowadays that is not nearly as difficult as it used to be. As I listened to it repeatedly suddenly I got an idea for a music video that, in my mind, fit perfectly with the lyrics to the song.

Lawrence O'Donnell is a news anchor, whom I once faithfully watched -- that changed in 2015, but that's another story. In any case, his meltdown during the taping of his show was epic. The only other one of this intensity is the old Bill O'Reilly clip from his days before Fox News.

So I used my rather primative Magix software and created this video that fuses a beautiful song with an epic meltdown.

If there are any of you who are interested in learning to play it, here are the chords (forget the names, most of them are very unusual combinations of chords). Here are some diagrams which I made on guitar.com -- To do it more like the recording you would need to drop the bass string down to a "D", but that isn't necessary for our purposes. NOTE: on several chords the high and low "E" strings are muted.
