anyway, when i went to class again yesterday and the teacher had some news for us. not that he was going to choose one, but another student of his asked him if he could find a rhythm guitarist for his band. that surprised me indeed. how is it that he could be looking for a rhythm guitarist for a band from a beginner course? we're mostly noobs! well not sure about the rest but i definitely am one. then again, he assured us that the guy was also from a beginner course. after thinking about it throughout the class, i told him i might want to try out. it could gain me some valuable experience. i remember kenneth tan from the tennis team once told me that synchronizing with a band is not an easy job. if i can get a spot, i would find out soon enough, provided they don't just play covers of course.
now, recently i've been practicing my grade 1 exam piece. it's not as difficult as it looks. the only tricky part is the bend that is not a stand alone. it's in a flow of numbers in the tab. sounds like bending halfway through a shred - a short one of course. not long ago however, i've picked up another cover to play, the riffs have been decent till i reached the solo. made me wish i learned the rhythm part instead of the lead part. the solo is excruciatingly long. and fast. well, no pain no gain. it'll take me some time to perfect this song. i'd expect a month or so. coupled with the theories and pieces that i've to do for homework, it might just take longer haha. ok so i shall not keep you waiting any longer, the piece i'm learning now is "tears don't fall" by bullet for my valentine. yes, you might think me crazy but then again, slow rock songs like "pieces" by sum41 do not appeal to me anymore, so i'm starting with the more simple hardcore pieces. it should propel me further i think. after all, people say that staying in your comfort zone does not make you improve.
