The guitar of black and green, sat inside the abandoned cave waiting to be played (once again after its rightful owner unfortunately passed away). This was no ordinary guitar. This guitar could make any regular person an inspiring musician for everyone to see.

“Mum! I'm going out to climb again - on the mountains with Callum,” Jake yelled with a brave tone of voice. “Okay sweetie, stay safe and don't stay out too late,” yelled his overprotective mum from another room of his house.

Eventually, he made it to where the guitar lay but shockingly it was completely out of tune!

Forcefully, his rough fingers thudded on the cut through strings of his poorly looked after guitar. 

In his mind, he was a famous musician, who was the best at playing his fretted musical instrument. 

“Can you keep that horrible noise down, Simon?” shouted Esra – his sister - who was much more of a brass person. 

“It’s called a symphony!” he barked, sharply. 

‘’You call that a symphony?” asked his sister, in sarcasm “It was completely out of tune!” 

Simon kept his head down and carried on playing his instrument (not knowing how bad it was) “You’ll regret this,” he mumbled.

As we sat watching the entertainment in the park, there was a man with a guitar sat on a stool on the stage. I thought to myself he looks the sort who would be pretty good - like Ed Sheeran.

The judges asked how old he was, he was twenty-three from Grimsby, they said you may begin. He pulled the microphone towards him and started to play his guitar. My younger brother was asleep in the pushchair. As he started to sing my brother woke up startled and put his hands on his ears, it was completely out of tune.

Dear Diary,

At school today, we had music class and it was a complete disaster. I was chosen to be one of the practice judges so, I didn’t have to perform the rehearsal because I wasn’t as good as the people on stage, but I can play a few instruments. As soon as they started playing, it was terrible! It was just completely out of tune. I don’t know what happened because they are really good at playing these instruments but this time it didn’t go well. They will be doing their final rehearsal tomorrow so I wish them luck.

In my closet was a box. It had a sign... BROKEN INSTRUMENT! Written in bold, black letters. I was incredibly curious about it and so I grabbed it out cautiously. I realised that if I got my tool box out and used some of them it would be all fixed. It took a bit of work - but I did it. Once I packed my tools away, I tried it out. For some odd reason it was completely out of tune. I told my mother about everything and she said she could do nothing. It just sat in my room; lonely.

Not so long ago, there was a kind and beautiful girl named Gracie. She loved to play the guitar; she played it whenever she had a chance to. It was Christmas Day and Gracie woke up and ran downstairs so that she could open her main gift. “It’s a brand-new guitar!” she shouted happily as she opened the gift and ran back upstairs. She grabbed her guitar tuner and tuned it up, but it was not working. She tried again it was completely out of tune. No matter how much she tuned it, it never played properly.

Clap, clap, clap, the big night lights shining brightly in his face this was it, it was a win or lose situation. Jacob sat on his chair, got on his guitar and Tom got on the drums leaving Jake to get on the microphone. They began, "Do da deer you hurt meehee," Jake's voice cracked, "what did I do to hurt youhooo?" Jake's voice cracked again.

Judge Sarah pressed her buzzer as did judge Scarlet and judge Simon and judge Mack. It was terrible it was completely out of tune then the security came and took them off stage.

One month ago, I decided to practice on my big brother's guitar. I had played before, but not recently. I grabbed the instrument and gave the metallic strings a strum. My forehead creased as I realised it was completely out of tune. I twisted the knobs on the end of the guitar until it sounded perfect. I gave it another strum and found myself floating away into an alternate universe. As I played, the beautifully colourful world around me came to life. While focusing on this amazing universe, I dropped the magic guitar and got stuck in the world forever...
