Bitterness: like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die? A serious look at suicidal ideation, youthful resentment and a mania for bladed weapons. A church culture in which there were few worse sins than being resentful if they mistreated you, and "forgiveness" was your job, not theirs.
I was delighted to score a session player who could do Spanish guitar. Had to play conga drums myself. Had a teacher colleague add some chimey electric and soloing to my mudslide/ocean surf rhythm guitar sound. Tinkered with recordings of my sister doing horror movie style screams to make them sound more disturbing. Stuff like that.
