One more day
Ok, so I have been MIA in a while. Well I just don't feel the urge to blog. Things happened. Hmm
Tomorrow shall be the last day of exam, CSA. The subject that I truly loathe :x! I've managed to go through those not so important chapters. And afterwards will just force myself to chew down the rest. God bless me!
What's the only thing I really want to do right now:
Get out of my house. Get out of everything around me now. Lock myself in a hidden place where there are many guitar amps, many guitar pedals and many guitars. Total sound proof. A simple Mac laptop with garage band. Small mixer and monitors. Loads of backing tracks. And up I go. Throw myself in junks of gears and equipments with me myself and my fingers that I can doodle on the guitars. Play play play play play and play somemore. Where I can make noise of my own and express myself in another different language. I wish I can spend endless hours just trying to know how to create real music and understand it. The art of experimenting new dimension of tone, sound and guitar techniques.
BUT! WAKE UP NAM! YOU ARE IN RE-AL-LI-TY!
Ok so still I'm stuck here listening to some inspiring music, trying to decipher nice chord phrase and absorb it, different guitar tones jungling in my head (yes that Gretsch tone), exploring new artistes (especially chick bands, I think girl bands are totally cool with loads of attitude! The Dollyrotz!), and my CSA book sitting behind me trying to seduce me. How sad...
I want to get a new guitar badly! So I have two options *Disclaimer: Will bore certain people who do not care heck about what I will be talking about, Haha!*
1. Reverend Avenger TL: so it's not exacly made of wood, phenolic it is. Made in USA with Kent Armstrong pickups. I'm especially attracted to single coils now adays, different tone you see. With a very good price. Will have some extra money to upgrade/mod certain of my pedals. Not that expensive so no fear of trashing around (of course not intentionally, I'm gentle). But I realise my current guitar has decent singcoil-ish tone with split.
2. Gretsch Firebird: Sweetest tone I have ever heard for a long time (on guitar besides that Tele tone by Edge)! I mean I've known about The Great Gretsch Sound. But only once you really do research and dig your ears to tonnes of clips and videos with your jaws wide open and goosebumps all over. Boy, little did I know I've fallen in love. BUT the great set back would be I have to rob the bank to get this rockin' smokin' baby. I'm weeping...
Gah, I don't know which will I be able to get. But whatever, I will be contented and happy still :)
Holidays is coming and I yet to have any plans. I seriously want to get away to some countries and spend time shopping or on the beach or whatever. Just away from civilization...!
Ok I guess I better get back to my CSA now. Ciao~~
