haaaaaaaaah

It's been quite a while since I last updated my blog. Sorry, didn't have anything to blog about.

But anyway, a big big THANK YOU to my brother for lending me his guitar and pedals and amp and stuffffffffff even though it's only for a few months. Now I am assigned to learn SONGS and how pedal works and things like that. To get John Mayer's tone, Lincoln Brewster and Altered Frequency's delay, SRV's wah wah ANDDDDDDDD that killer song cliffs of dover.

Yeah so I was pretty excited in using those pedals and that 50 watt BIG amp. Plug in, check the switches, the ports, the cables, everything in order, ready....on the switch...LETS ROCK AND ROLL BABEH!!!! Wait, why was there a pricky feeling when I touched the strings??? *Takes test pen* OH NO!! ELECTRIC CURRENT!! What the heck man, if the current was higher I'd probably be electrocuted. Did some fiddling and research (hmm) and found out the cause of the problem was that amp.
Oh no, the big amp..why Marshall why. Cilaka. Of all things. If it was the guitar tuner, ahhh then nothing to worry about. But babi 50 watt amp got problem, really cilamau.

As you can see I was (and is) very disappointed. Now having to resort to that small pathetic 10 watt amp, nothing sounds good already. Anyway, I suddenly realised how little I know bout guitar. Sigh ignorance. Can't play good guitar. Can't get the tone, the tune, the rhythm!! Searching online for videos and all... still I can't find any inspiration.

ARGHHHH!!!!! Oh how I wished I could play blues like John Mayer. Or rock like Paul Gilbert. Or instrumental songs like Eric Johnson or JS. How I wished I could:

1. do this
2. do that.

And now this stupid italic cant be removed. Daniel don't scold me if I can't play any song by April. Have mercy hehehehehe.

this is a bloody random post. For the sake of updating.

Thanks, ( I think this may be a little late.)


Thank you Daniel aka smelly cow and Jade for these wonderful christmas presents.
It's really fun to spend time with my brother. Stress relief. (not that I have a lot of stress) Especially when you can laugh at each other when the car you're driving in GT bangs a wall and gets stucked there. Or when you score a goal in winning eleven and start mocking each other. Or eating one huge packet of wan tan mee at 1.00am in the morning, stomach bloated and unable to sleep due to the chili. HOTHOTHOT.
Or watching a movie with your sister/brother/brother's girlfriend/brother's girlfriend brother. Yes man you rocks.
One more thing. John Mayer is a really good singer and guitarist. And when I say good I mean it is really really really veli veli veli good. Same goes to Switchfoot.




Thank you Johannan for lending me this album. Another power pack stuff.
