So I've been slacking at home, doing things I would actually not have accomplished when its still semester one. Practised my guitars, going as well as I could have ever wished for. Picking it up for like 2 months ago, and I suppose the hard work's been paid off lah. I used to think playing The dagger was super killer, but now its merely a breeze. I'm trying to find new ways to improve myself, like playing all sorts of genres, from rock and roll, to blues, to my favourite metal and even nu metal. Ok, maybe not so much. But I'm playing what I would love the most and thats metal. So I've been playing songs the likes of Trivium, Metallica, Iron Maiden and even Roadrunner United's songs. Wicked. Then there's Oasis and RHCP, where chords are pretty much concerned to other alternative rock or nu metals like Breaking Benjamin, Evanescene, System of a down and Slipknot. Its really nice when my strumming doesn't go astray, even though my current guitar doesn't have pick ups that sounds so melancholic, but it gives me that kind of pleasure you would normally see from a typical guitar player. That feeling of being one with the guitar. Guitars are like your second vocals. An instrument that projects a certain note, a tune, a rhythm or even melody that states your passion and energy in the means of music. Ok, so I've dropped the idea of owning a Gibson Les Paul guitar for now, which cost probably like a fucking 4 k dollars. And I meant SG dollars, mind you. But my bro's carbon copy of Stratocaster-look-a-like Santa Fe guitar is very much like my second pet lah. Not to mention my own acoustic guitar. But the strings are getting a lil rusty and it's about time it needs refurbishment.
So presumably I believe in that concept Steve Vai mentioned, "once you start playing the guitar, you can never stop playing it." How true is that.
Wassallam.
