::Either outside the Duel Academy Middle School's D-Wheel Research Club or in the Domino Park, you can find Kyoko and Kanan practicing on non electric guitars.

They seem to have gotten the opening cords of Wonderwall...::

*Yuto is sat nearby them in Domino Park. It's a nice day, so he's chosen to sit on the grass by a tree and is just doing some writing, but he occasionally glances over at Kanan and Kyoko as they are practicing their guitars. It's definitely pipped his interest a little as he occasionally watches them practise.*

[hatohollowharvest]

::As stated, they're both fumbling over "Wonderwall". It's not cacophony but it's definitely amateur hour.::

[dark_rebellion]

*After a while of watching them, Yuto decides to get up and wander over.
He recognises what they are trying to play, but he can tell they are very new to it. Yuto considers himself an amateur at guitar too, but he's had years of self-taught practise and "Wonderwall" was actually one of the first songs he taught himself to play, so he wondered if he could give them some help.
Also he felt like their guitars could maybe use a little bit of tuning.*

Hey. Sorry to intrude, but I noticed you both practising over here.
"Wonderwall", right?

[hatohollowharvest]

Y-yeah, it's the easy song to learn, or like some of the chords are.

[itkananbe]

::Looks up.::

Yes. And you are?

[dark_rebellion]

I'm Sakaki, Yuto.
I'm a bit of an amateur guitarist too. "Wonderwall" was actually the first song I taught myself to play.

*Oh, hey. Wasn't your new Principal's last name 'Sakaki' too?*

[hatohollowharvest]

Huh. Sounds like our principal's last name.

::Ponders.::

... Must be common around here.

[dark_rebellion]

I take it you go to the Domino City Duel Academy?
If so, the principal there is my mom.

[hatohollowharvest]

No way!

[dark_rebellion]

Yeah, small world, I guess.

Anyway, you both can decline if you want, but I thought I could give you some pointers, if you'd like them.

[itkananbe]

Kyoko could probably use it but I'm mostly entertaining it because our club president is mildly interested.

[hatohollowharvest]

I mean, you're the one trying to build her a Duel Guitar.

[itkananbe]

Shush.

[dark_rebellion]

*He gives them a curious look.*

A Duel Guitar?

[itkananbe]

A Guitar that's a Duel Disk.

[dark_rebellion]

Huh. I've never heard of that before, but it's an interesting idea for a Duel Disk.

*In a way, he could even see it being used as a different type of entertainment dueling. Duels that were also concerts. Or concerts that could become duels.*

Anyway, it sounds like you have the beginning cords of the song figured out, but you're still learning the strumming pattern for it, if I'm correct?

[itkananbe]

Yes. my hands aren't that good at strumming, I'm better with wrenches and swords. I keep fumbling at it.

[hatohollowharvest]

I mostly have the idea of it but my pick keeps flying off or something.

[dark_rebellion]

Playing a guitar definitely needs a lot of patience. It can take a long time to get used to it and learn even just part of a song. I fumbled all the time when I first began and I still do when trying to learn something new.

Just learning this song, it took me months to get to a point where I didn't fumble it.

As for the pick, just try and keep a good hold of it and maybe try some different ones, in case the one you're using is just too difficult for you to keep a comfortable grip on.

[hatohollowharvest]

I'd prefer to stick with the pick Kamala got for me.

::Smiles, you can feel the sparkles.::

[dark_rebellion]

*Yuto gives her a smile. He can definitely feel the sparkles.*

Ah, alright. It's an important pick to you. That's understandable.
Just keep practising and I'm sure you'll find a way to hold it so it's comfortable and it doesn't fly off.

[itkananbe]

I think she just has butterfingers to be honest.

[hatohollowharvest]

Mean!

[dark_rebellion]

*He lets out a small chuckle.*

Just try and play slow at first and then gradually pick up speed to where the song needs to be. You might just be trying to strum faster than you're able to at the moment, making you drop the pick.

[hatohollowharvest]

Uh. Could you show an example, Mister?

::Blinking, setting herself up.::
