When I got the good news

Last night, my guitar instructor just gave me my first recording session!! =D So that means that next month, I'll be recording two songs at Roger Wang's studio! How awesome is that, man? Woots!

So I've chosen the two songs already. One will be an old song, one I've been playing for a long time now. Cherry Blossom Time by Kotaro Oshio..



And my second song will be a real toughie. It's a fingerstyle guitar song called Since We Met by Tommy Emmanuel. Considering that I've only moved into fingerstyle a week or two ago, this is gonna take some hard work. But I'll definitely do my best, it would really be a joy to record this song.

Since We Met is a really beautiful song. I started out as a classical guitarist because I thought classical music is full of feeling and expression. But then when I found fingerstyle earlier this year by watching Roger Wang, Malaysian guitar maestro, I was determined to move towards becoming a finger picker like him. =D Since We Met, to me, is a song I can really feel, and that's really important in playing music in my opinion. If you don't feel your music, you're just plucking strings or whamming on the piano really.

So here's Since We Met, played by the master himself, Tommy Emmanuel. =)



Anyway, I'm both excited and nervous about the recording session. I've been waiting for this. And I'm gonna try my very best for it. Besides, I don't want my first professionally recorded songs to be crappy. =D By professional I meant the nice people who will be recording for me, not me. xD Just making it clear. Haha.

Okay, Heng and I had another idea a few weeks back before the exams and so we took the opportunity of us hanging out at Heng's house to film this and yeah here's what we made. Credits to Heng for the cool editting. Good job mate. =D

So good you'd wanna share it with your friends!

Teacher's Day 2009 Opening Show?

I want to thank Loke Hsin for taking this video of me WITHOUT ME KNOWING UNTIL THE END OF IT. =_=" Oh and that's Steffi's ukelele by the way.

This was right before our performance at this year's teachers' day at school. We were the opening act. This video was taken when the students and teachers were moving into the hall. We were all just calming each other's nerves and having fun. You could see everyone practicing and getting ready. =D If you watch carefully, you can see the dancers practicing at the back, and I think I can hear Claudia going "One Two Three Four!" xD

Okay, in this video: Practically everyone involved in our musical thing. Haha. Anyway, this is supposed to be somewhere over the rainbow. But I kinda messed it up though =P

Just thought I'd share this, brings back lots of nice memories and good times. Learned a lot through that experience. Plus I learnt how to play the F chord on a uke that day. xD

Goooooooooooood times............ =D

My little MJ tribute?

Just a little tribute. Haha. A bigger better fuller tribute might be recorded with some friends =)

MIGHT

Okay I finally got to record my own lousy solo version of "I'll be there" by Michael Jackson. It's sorta like a tribute? I made up my own arrangements after I heard the song. Very simple chord based arrangement. Very easy playing. Just keeping it simple people! xD It's beautiful and I kinda spoiled it I know but yeah. =P

The sound quality's kinda bad but at least it's audible. Can't hear the nice echoing sounds though. And I'd like to thank my camera girl. This video is taken by a professional camera girl, my little sister, Sheela "Unshakable Hands" Wong. =)
