We lost that touch.
Looking back at the past 60's to the 90's where good music and legendary musicians where around made me realize how bad music has developed itself after the 90's. Many lived to see the great rise and fall , the changing of era from birth of the blues to the pinnacle of rock music in the 90's. Its sad to see that this divine gift from above is misused by people for the cause of wealth.
If u look at a bigger picture of music, it's heartbreaking to see the God-given talent of Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page , Stevie Wonder , Robert Plant and many more comparing to the likes of the young Justin Bieber of our beloved era, Lady Gaga and more.
As musicians, part of our music journey is to listen and articulate the contents of great music from the past and use them to enhance this musical journey. As a thought, what would the future generation learn? When songs of the Beatles, Led Zeppelin , B.B King are all 100 years old? Would Lady Gaga be the new Aretha Franklin? Will Simple Plan , Seconhand Serenade be the new era that replace the golden 90's?
Living in Malaysia makes it even worst. The thoughts and taste in music of teens these days are misguided by what we all proclaim 'The Mob Mentality'.
That is how the culture is divided by the different mindsets of people.
But to me, I feel music is divine and something out of this world. A simple song could change and set the mood for the whole day if enough appreciation is put into it. Music is something that speaks out to the hearts of the young. No matter what genre. Even Justin Bieber changed so many people's personality.
I guess it all comes down to how one feel about music. But then again, we lost that touch.

a song for homeless beggars and crack heads
You're not alone
Out here in the cold
No blanket for warmth
Sleeping on the floor
You're not alone
You're not alone
The drugs wont kill
you're begging for more
your veins are sour
you're beggin for more
You're not alone
You're not alone
Come take my hand
says the angel of death
i'll break your chains
lead u to a holy place
Come take my hand
come take my hand
save me
save me
save me
i need to breathe
you're not alone
out here in the cold
no blanket for warmth
sleeping on the floor
sleeping on the floor
sleeping on the floor
you're not alone
you're not alone . . .
Out here in the cold
No blanket for warmth
Sleeping on the floor
You're not alone
You're not alone
The drugs wont kill
you're begging for more
your veins are sour
you're beggin for more
You're not alone
You're not alone
Come take my hand
says the angel of death
i'll break your chains
lead u to a holy place
Come take my hand
come take my hand
save me
save me
save me
i need to breathe
you're not alone
out here in the cold
no blanket for warmth
sleeping on the floor
sleeping on the floor
sleeping on the floor
you're not alone
you're not alone . . .

lyrics.
he wants a quick thrill in life
she gave in quick and still never denied
Never thought of wanting to suffer
it went well like bread and butter
what came round would change his life
as he thought to himself
where did it go wrong
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
But he never did.
His dad had to give in to him
Her mom's tears filled a cups brim
Never realized what a mistake they made
How will they feed the child its bread.
What came around would change her life
as she thought to herself
where did i go wrong
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
But he never did.
she gave in quick and still never denied
Never thought of wanting to suffer
it went well like bread and butter
what came round would change his life
as he thought to himself
where did it go wrong
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
But he never did.
His dad had to give in to him
Her mom's tears filled a cups brim
Never realized what a mistake they made
How will they feed the child its bread.
What came around would change her life
as she thought to herself
where did i go wrong
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
He should have used a piece
But he never did.

getting there.
I just need sharpness in hitting notes. The whole Orianthi song is coming up good. took 4 friggin days to actually complete the whole song. Just need practise i guess.
=( SIGH.
Hope i could jam it out with my buds sometime soon.
guess being a guitarist really makes u devote yourself into practise.Precision timing, .having a good ear, awareness . I think this song really improved my level in guitaring.
i hope i can follow the foot stteps of kelvyn yeang one day. He is by far my favourite guitarist in this country. Inspiring mostly.
i hope to post a video of the song when im done on youtube, if i perfected the song =)
will be updating this blog mostly on guitaring now..maybe breaking down songs for people who wanna learn..uploading video..i'd come to a decision after 3 years of playing guitar that music is really a big part of my life. I love playing guitar no matter what genre. will be updating very soon..stay tuned.

life and times and the motivations
Dusty blog.
I hate to say that im a lousy blogger but i am what i am.
I would only write a post only if there is something that i would wanna pour out or speak my mind about.
Im not the kind that would be bothered blog and reblog every damn 15mins of the day, or in other words,cant be fucked about blogging.
this is my spot to release tension or to bring up some stuff which i like.
today was a relaxing day.
work was little.i had alot to shred about in my freetime.
shredding on my guitar is like new cocaine to me now.
was shredding According to you by Orianthi. spent the whole 4 hours on that song along.
and yes..i played every single guitar part of it .teehee =)
was out with one of my close friend tonight.
he was a real motivation to me and my future.
although we were at old town, i gain alot of insight fro him.
his thoughts and views on things are just remarkable.
As a friend i am truly honored to know a guy like him
why i say this is because i rarely come across people who plan their future so steadily and yet so determined and disciplined.
who would get a cert and go and work and yet treat work as learning.most of the people out there would go to work only hoping for the mid month advance, end of month sum and the mini mini bonuses to spend.
My friend cant be fucked about the pay.I was quite motivated when he said that his time of working now is just a stepping stone to learn more and be a better person in the marketplace.
wow right? totally agreed.
how i wish i was like him sooner.im taking alot of my mind set and channel my mindset to this motivation that i had today.
i really thank god for having a friend like this in life.
One can never know that in this complex universe, friends can be a real blessing. Upon knowing that, ones self is lifted.
To me, friends are very important in life.getting to know new people.You will never know when a friend can make u the next big star, a promotion and in all simplicity a helping hand.
i ALWAYS get bombarded by parents that always goin out with friend and etc are just fun. have to concentrate on work or studies more.i always get comments that nobody is gona help u if u dont help yourself.It is true that if u dnt help yourself u got nothing. But if you help yourself and put friends in the picture then your life would be a stunning one.In my point of view im not using friends as an object that i can use to obtain better living. Like i said , friends = blessings.
to any friend that i have who is reading this blog i tell u this. You are a friend of mine. we have shared memories. we have dream dreams, vision and thoughts beyond our minds.You are a beautiful being and im proud to call you a friend.
