a video of my recent wedding gig



it was our encore song, the first 5 songs are still in my PC and haven't been uploaded to YouTube yet.. so I will upload all of them and open a separate thread for you all to bash

yes, it was a very modern wedding, we were REQUESTED to play this song hahah.. and the band members are all my cousins, except for the drummer who is my childhood friend.

my 60-year old uncle is on the keyboard

pardon the slips during the solo.. and try and keep an ear out for pinch harmonics (only two) and semi dive bombs (two as well I think).

thanks! yeah, the solo still needs quite abit of work, I realise. first time playing lead guitar, nervous

haha yeah, later when I upload more videos you'll see a girl in tudung playing violin

my middle is a killswitch not wired

the iceman is giving me GAS!

he was pointing out the typo.

that's terrible! if I were you, I would've asked for a refund once they couldn't meet their first deadline.

oh yeah, BFMV's new album is good! i don't think they downtuned this time, but can anyone correct me?

crap... having a major GAS attack now. been looking at guitars for the past 2 days -.-

currently choosing between LTD F-2E, SX Explorer set neck pimped out with JB/Jazz combo or LTD EX-50 + EMGs.. one is a shredding, whammy trick horse guitar while the other two won't give me much more versatility than my current yammy.. but has the secks factor.

won't be getting it anytime soon though, need to save up for them.

I will have at least one gig this year, in August.. and possibly another earlier one in July. so, a new guitar would be nice..

happy CNY to all musicians!

ok I think my Vox's tube is going to konk out anytime soon. how much for a replacement tube, anyone has any idea? can I DIY or must send it back to CK or a tech?

cool! means I can go to SG and bring one back without much fuss

after starting to venture into Slash's material, I find that I really suck in staccatos.

do you guys usually pull off 4-fret staccato runs with 3 or 4 fingers? I'm trying to get used to 4 but find my speed somewhat affected.

from Sweet Child solo.. this is considered a staccato run right?

sorry my theory is really bad

and yes legato runs like in Nightrain (the one in the last solo IS a legato run right?) are painfully difficult for me as well.

yeah I guess nothing beats the tried and tested method of slow to fast

thanks Rossie for your input.

ah.. that's one 'unconventional' method that people will tend to overlook.

point taken. thanks

holy that John5 closeup freaked me out T_T

anyone heard Bodom's new Blooddrunk?

amazing stuff

cover songs?

what songs?

hmm yea to a certain extent it is standard bodom stuff, but this somewhat gives another feel to it IMO, can't explain. abit of progressive-ish?
