tempo is king, rhythm is queen

so recently i went for another lesson and i found out why my solo-ing is so bad that i cant even bear to listen to an entire piece of my own solo-ing. this phrase changed my life: follow the tempo and only go out of tempo on purpose.

wow, that was worth the whole lesson's fees. my whole solo-ing came together perfectly when i managed to sync my feet to the beat. (rhymes eh) ultimately when one follows the tempo of the rhythm, the solo will sound nice, whether one is using the chord tones or not. of course one should be in key, unless using out-of-key notes on purpose.

hmmm since the last post, my band has had two performances. the first was actually more of a competition than a performance, but there were still people looking at us play.after the second performance, we decided to expand our circle of friends and clicked with other bands, namely pinktips and i can't remember the name of the other band lol.

this other band that i cant remember, has some members that somehow irk some members of my band. it may be just due to the way they look and carry themselves or it may be actually due to the personality clashes, like me and choy. i just hope these issues get settled soon, better to make friends than enemies i think. but of course i can't please everyone right? haha.
