Mood: Tired
Listening To: Nothing
At least the computers here are fast compared to the single-internet lab back in Penang. Things here are less screwed up in terms of management, but the connection here equalises the standards of both college. What a happy family.
Anyways, I just finished one of my classes just now. A 1 hour class, to be exact. I've got another one coming up in an hour's time, so I decided to spend some time here in the internet lab.
At least I didn't oversleep today. I didn't pay a taxi RM6.90 unlike yesterday -_- ..
And coming here, is like..Living in another dimension ..I saw two of my classmates that resembled two of my friends, namely Rooshie Tan and DebraDieded.. O_O
I think homesickness is getting to me? Lol.
Hmmm.. Nothing much to blog about.. Not having a personal printer at home kinda sucks.. And those dudes back in PG who sold me the laptop..I'll kill y'all bigtime once I get back.. I could've sworn that I told you that I'm a student yet you didn't provide or advice me to install Microsoft Office 2007 seperately -_-...
Thank goodness I can make as many stops I want through RapidKL .. I'll stop by The Curve a little bit later on ..
And I checked out Riff Interactive last night. It's some pretty good stuff. I thought it was just some cheap Ah Beng promotion when they said it's something about Steve Vai and Joe Satriani lessons.. But it isn't. The shit is, they do teach you the sort of thing what Vai and Satriani would play. And..It's not easy, I have to admit. The techniques being used are simple, but tough to get them clean, and neat.
This is guitar talk: One of the techniques would be that you hit a note on a cetain string, then you lower your Floyd Rose whammy bar (works well, but flat-tails would be harder?) until your strings starts to rattle, tap/touch/hit (still unsure which one it is... Which makes things even tougher) the string you want it to ring, then slowly raise the whammy bar. It works easily on the normal harmonic spots; 5th, 7th and the 12th fret. But try it on the 14th fret and you'll end up breaking your guitar into 2 if you don't have the patience.. But the sound is horribly wicked!
The other would be the usual Steve Vai slide. Very huge intervals over here, and although it's just sliding, you might either over-slide by a note, or under-slide by a note ..
That's when practising comes in handy..
Wooo..hard rock blues XD.. Finally learning some secrets of scales and modes.. Vai's style is truly unique. This person (I forgot his name..the one who teaches you through this programme) said that Vai will use every scale known to man when he gets the chance to.. Which makes things a little bit harder to study and identify..
I just found gold.. Huahuahuahuahua..
I'm hungry..and I'm on budget... Have to tahans................ x(
