obsessions & anything in between
Last night, I disciplined myself to learn this song. Armed with the March 2008 issue of Guitar Techniques, my arsenal and a metronome, with the backing tracks from the CD, I nailed down the licks in about one hour (I’m not Steve Stevens). I’m still missing the little details at the solo ending but yeah, who plays the licks that accurate anyway.

I have very high expectations for this album. Produced by the great Rick Rubin. There’s a website created specially for the new album as reported by Rock Radio.

Lucky me got a free Switchfoot concert ticket. A Media Pass actually to be specific. So i get to walk around acting like some reporter-wannabe. It was kind of cool.

Bono, Edge, Adam & Larry does it again. Turning heads and breaking into new grounds. This time, in 3D! Namely U23D. It seems that this movie will usher in a new era of 3D concert films. Probably they might have some really super out-of-this-world effects to cater to such expectations. Released two days ago on the 24th of January. Reviews and comments about the show are all over the internet. A pretty personal interview with producer/co-director Catherine Owens can be found at U23D’s blog right here.
Too bad there is no screening in IMAX at Times Square in Bukit Bintang. I’ve always always wanted to go to a U2 concert. When will they have their stop in Kuala Lumpur? It seems like big bands prefer to stop at our neighbors rather than around here. I wonder why. I seriously wonder why.

I’m very very busy with the Kancil Awards website now. Work for the Kancil Annuals have not started yet.
Just click on the link below to listen to a song that expresses my current feelings:
It’s all guitars.
Edit: I realized I forgot about the bass guitar for the song.

Meet Dave Weiner, my guitar tutor for the past few months. Dave has been touring with Steve Vai for the past 8 years upon Steve’s request and has been making wonderful music since.
After realizing that I couldn’t really commit myself to attend lessons, I realize I needed to do something before my hobby goes down the drain. I turned to Dave’s Riff of the Week using ITunes to download these weekly Podcasts. They have been of great help in refreshing on the basics and kerning beats and notes on the fretboard. I don’t really follow every lessons thought directly but they do keep my mind fresh about how things should be approached in music.
Upon getting an old nice and sweet sounding Yamaha F-20 guitar amp last week, for only RM180, I’m recharged after not having an amplifier for the past 4 years.
Last week, Riff of the Week saw it’s 100th episode on-air.
P.s: Other that Riff of the Week, I also subscribe to Typeradio and have discontinued some other subscriptions due to limited space on my Mac.
