looking for the joke with a microscope

I've started shopping at Walmart precisely because it's less cool than Target. I can get in and out of Walmart with my basic shopping needs without the temptation of swanky panel shirts or a Galaga plug and play game. But the evil Walmart near my house has my number. Next to the checkout line, they've set up a display of $99 electric guitars. You can choose from a blonde wood fake Stratocaster like Stevie Ray Vaughn used to play or a red fake Les Paul like Jimmy Page plays. Too bad, but the fake Flying V is not an option.

Strange, but for a person whose life almost revolves around guitar music, I've never even thought about purchasing the instrument for myself. I know it's difficult to master. And I'm not sure if learning this instrument will bring me more frustration than joy. But for $99, I think I'm going to give it a shot. I'm leaning towards one of the fake Les Pauls --- it's a classic fake guitar, the first model of them all. And hopefully, it'll come with an instruction book so I can learn some chords.

So I figure I'll start out learning AC/DC's Hell's Bells. Then, if my fingers can move fast enough, I'll move on to The Close Lobster's "Too Bloody Stupid." And then, after years of practice, hopefully I can proudly play "Crazy Nights" by Loudness.
