D.Addario 10s Check : Don't Say Lazy Improvisation

A little bit of Improvisation.

Love my new strings.

Smooth.

But they look like they rust easily.

Pinch harmonic isn't easy on the bass strings too (especially the E string).



my comments :

Yes I love K-on. Any problems? Video was on the spot improvisation so I kinda messed up on certain parts. At first I thought of solo-ing along the vocal melody then it got weird and I was like "screw that" and things got out of control. Explains the overused pentatonic lick, but it fits so well into the song > : )

*Note: Guitar Porn.* Restringing a Floyd Rose.

I'd usually take my guitar to the shop when anything's screwy for maximum care, but unfortunately today I had the urge to do it myself.

The thing with floyd rose guitars is, the tuning. One fucked up string and there goes the whole guitar.

And the process of restringing a floyd rose, redundant and boring.

The strings used are D.Addario 10s. Great gauge and strings for hybrid blues/metal playings.

Upon reaching the G string; I realised I couldn't cut the string. Fuck. How the hell am I supposed to cut the rest of the thicker bass strings now? ( To start off restringing a floyd rose, you must cut the string ball off. Yes, balls. Apparently not for all guitars.)


Stuck now with half stripped guitar. Poor Stephy. Gonna get me a string winder and cutter tomorrow, hopefully.

Stripped head of Etiennette. Jackson. Beautiful isn't she?

Stephy stripped. Ah.

For the E and B strings I used yes, a nail clipper.

At the start.

Passion

"Note for YW: I feel like my improvisation doesn't fit in to the 12-bar blues rhythm we did. Doesn't sound in-mood. Or maybe it's not. I didn't try it with the backing track."

Elaborate on that a little...


by the way, hardwork IS passion. Waited damn long liao to jam. So don't go around giving excuses like " aiya he everyday play guitar mah of course pro". Since when do you become good at something the moment you like it? mmm

something to get out of my mind.

btw anything you want me to print i have 400 pages left to use as far as my free printing goes in college.

Pick a Pick so Pick it & Pick off

Hey, the readers/bumpers/stalkers/fans and founders of this place. Thanks for keeping up to date for updates here. Amusement starts here. As given a deal through the cbox for reviews on gears.

I'd start on my picks. Beloved picks. Why would we wana compare so much about the sword and the pen and let the academicians be the judge. I give you a fart and then I'm off to get my picks.

Nah, I dun go diggin' rappin' y'all niggin' freakin' asses. Imma show u ma homies. Ma babes..
If precise and without mistakes, they are arranged chronologically clockwise. Inset, the other side of that last white pick and the other side of J.Garcia black pick.

The more I look at them, the less they look like. Am I losing some? Or they are actually just as few as that...heh.

They are:
Dean Markley .84mm
J. Garcia (YW's gift)
Dunlop Tortex 1.2mm
Fender Heavy
Fender Thin
Proline .5mm (metal)
ESP .8mm
Ibanez M (transparent)
Planet Waves ?.9mm
Kozik Tortex 1.0mm

One Fender pearloid Medium gauge was lost actually. I could remember this. Lost at Ye-Wheen's place. Must be John "jigSaw" Kramer and Tenacious D lent it and never returned.

That's all folks.


Note for YW: I feel like my improvisation doesn't fit in to the 12-bar blues rhythm we did. Doesn't sound in-mood. Or maybe it's not. I didn't try it with the backing track.

Flying Little Wings

I foresee..maybe someday when we all improve and learn the techniques properly. We will do Little Wing jam.

As Ywheen has been starting already on the Little Wing blues. It sure sounds so good. Especially the blues tone that is produced by his Roland Microcube (RM430).

haha product promotion.
