She's only 15 and been playing for a year under my guidance and is really getting good. As for me, im not really a pro and theres nothing much i can teach her already. This video, is the first time i uploaded and also the first time anyone from outside my house ever seen her play. Id just like some comments on her be it good or bad to help her improve as well as giving her encouragements.

Oh, and please do leave a comment on youtube as well, thanks

Thanks.

hey man, is that really your sis? one year of playing. God shes quite talented IMHO! tell her to keep up man! The guitar sounds abit out of tune(dont know whether its me being a bad player or the audio isn't as sharp.) Overall, nice! grrl power?

O.o

One year only?!?!
Very very darn good!
Whatever you're teaching your sis, keep it up!

The intro to the bridge isn't very smooth, but after that, it's just fine...
Maybe need to work on articulations, but then again, she's only been playing for one year, and she's very darn good already!

I've only watched the first 40 seconds and I'm already like...

I've been playing for 10 years. And she plays better than i do
I thought the articulations were actually quite good. Had the feel and all that stuff. One comment from me is the timing (but being a bassist, i'm a pain in the butt when it comes to timing, so you may decide to ignore me ). She messes up at a few places especially the switch over to the percussive part. It's not easy, but if she plays like that after one year it should be a piece of cake.

My suggestion would be to get her on the metronome. She'll thank you for it later.

Oh and girls + guitars + left-handed = power

I went on and listen to the live version of the song by Kotaro Oshio and compare. My humble opinion here. Maybe she can try to work on getting the notes clearer, which and which to accent more. I couldn't really get the melody actually until I listened to the one by Kotaro Oshio. Probably because of the timing too?

But well well well, she is already super super super good despite the fact that she has been playing for ONE freaking year only. Good job brother, wish I have one like you.

P/S: Oh yea. Thanks for introducing. Kotaro Oshio is cute.

omg, sorry guys, i posted the message above using wrong ID, the KOFSIONG is a colleague of mine, forgot to logoff his lyn before i reply

well... the vids taken above is the first shot/attempt without any changes made, she would usually do better, but she's a little nervous on the cam. And yea, im very proud of her as her brother and as the one popping her interest in guitar. Believe it or not... till today... i never know how to read tabs play by ear and totally copied everything by vids that we see.

Also, both of us are using a cheapo non-branded RM200-300 guitar bought in a local store. The vid is recorded using a mini-mic clipped on the guitar.

Very good!

She can play better than those emo/punk rock guitarists who have been playing for years in my school!

whoa! looks like everyone likes this sister of yours. lol.

im checking the vid out. will post comments soon.

anyways, dont u realize we improved and learnt the most in our first year of playing?

That was just insane, especially for one year of playing!
Looks more like at least 3 years of playing. She's real talented and you must be pretty good yourself AoiNatsume...

On a side note, that Wings song is very nice and inspirational. Reminds me of Deb Fung.

aye, then after we can nail the basics and play the Am penta quite happily. we spend more time getting lost in the dream world of being a rock star then perfecting ourselves to be one

Whoa. She beats me too. Still stuck in the Numetal era..hehe. I look forward to see more, what about you two in a duo performance? Starting a band anytime soon? She's da bomb!!

I'm echo everybody's voices here and say that your sister's playing is very fluid and beautiful! If she continues to practise and improving her skills, she would eventually become an accomplished musician. That said... when is she joining the forum? Jk...

echo, you're right... my skills has his a plateau these days and I'ill be thankful if there isn't any drop lol! I blame assignments, finals and work!

ur sis did very well. keep on practicing and she'll be better than all of us here.

Gila sial man....that's was great...finally found some1 that play kotaro oshio's song...me myself is a big fan of oshio....my upcoming song in progress of learning is 'merry christmas mr.lawrence"....maybe someday can ask ur sis come out n jam together hahaha....(buaya coming)....jkjk....

well it's glad to see some1 play the same "thing" as i do....well my fingerstyle playing are self-taught too...n i know learning it won't be ez....coz apparently no one is teaching here....cheers


btw,it's that a martin or A&L she using?

Added on June 20, 2007, 1:47 am now only know who's kotaro oshio...i've once open a thread to discuss abt him but seems like no one cares....hehe

thanks for the feedback guys, ill make sure she keeps improving =)

merry christmas mr. lawrence... hmm its on our "favourited" list hehe. Its actually not that hard, much much easier than "wings' that my sis played on the vid, but the tapping part is a little tricky. Merry xmas mr lawrence was the 3rd song we learnt from oshio after "kazy no uta" and "cherry blossom time".

And yea, we are great fan of Mr. Oshio xD

my mouth wide open...

check out her little pinkie... how did it get so strong? u asked her to lifts weights with her fingers the whole year?

wow... she's good.

hmm...the guitar is not in tune with the song...some off tunes...erm... a few misses here and there, but pretty good...
keep it up....but only learnt guitar for 1 year.... you are good...

no i didnt

you are learning "merry christmas mr. lawrence"? wooo do record it and show me ya.

sure...when i finish learning....but wil take some time...quite bz now...making my own guitar...

Looking at her playing... Im humbled
Hope she doesnt break her finger nails...
Thanks for sharing the vidclip.
