Guitar Lover

Browsing the internet for electric guitars trying to find what is best for my taste and my budget, it's really hard to find what I'm looking for.

Well, ever since I learn to play the guitar, and after an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar and lots of borrowing from here and there from my friends, I learn to select a nice sounding guitar, perfect for playability and easy on my fingers. I can't say that I have professional knowledge on finding the best guitar or an authority on rating guitars, it's just my opinion for myself, and probably for my taste on music and my general concept on the guitar sound and my playing techniques.

I really love to own original guitars made by Yamaha, Gibson or Fender and play with them recording my cover and original materials. That's one of my dreams in life, have gigs with my brother and sister while my wife's singing and probably my sons and daughters, sponsor a free concert in my town with local bands playing. (7) But it never really mattered. Well, these are just wonderful things to have, hehe. But I guess I only need to believe more in this dream, hehe.. I'm wondering, why do I love to dream on things, hehe..??

Singing Passion | Grow Old With You | Honestly | Practice on "My Vocal Skill?"

I really love to sing and I sing many times but I am not gifted with great voice and my vocal range is I think limited only to one octave which easily gives stress to my vocal chords, hehe. I used to sing in a choir when I was in high school and used to do a lil bit of singing part in school activities in grade school. But, since I wasn't very keen of practicing my then moderate-grade vocal skills, it deteriorated to its present status and will need lots of practice, discipline and, most important, "self-confidence in singing". The following are some videos I made in practicing my voice on songs with easier vocal ranges, up high or down low, it might as well boost my self-confidence in singing. It'll help me a lot if you comment on it, hahahha!!

Original Lyrics I've Written In The Past

I bet those people reading my so-called "music blog" might be thinking "Has this guy ranting about his small-knowledge-in-music thing written any original song?" I bet they really are since I've mentioned in my previous blog that I'm going to post my original materials here. Well, I really have many things already in my head, the melodies and the lyrics that I'm cooking but haven't had time putting it on paper or more, on record. (15) Sing it loud so I can hear you. But these lyrics came from sudden fits of inspiration.

This first one is when my sis-in-law passed her licensure exam in nursing. The lyrics are not the best but I think it's the product of my punk-grunge inclinations like Nirvana's Molly's Lips and Been A Son.

A DAY IN ONE'S LIFE
(Kurdt_Excel)

There was a tragic death or so everybody says
His mind was blown away
It was really the end of the line for him
The end of everything

You'd been dreaming, you're a dream
It was a dream, just dream

Everyone couldn't grasp, all shocked
He lived his life in the fast lane
Everyone looked and they turned their back
A man says accept the fact

'Twas a nightmare, for everyone
a nightmare for everyone
