One Day in School
As requested by Adam, this post will be how my life partook a change because
of a certain thing that revolves around everyone from young to old, music.
Yes, it's music, it changed my life, well okay not very much but i really went into
the direction of music, not by listening but playing.
It all started say Sec3, Aloysius, ah good old Aloy taught me to play a few
chords and a coldplay song when i asked him to teach me, it wasn't easy of course.
Nothing is easy in this world, and so then i started to pick up the guitar.
I'm telling you i wasn't much of a music junkie.
From P1 until Sec3? i wasn't good at any instrument at all, man deciding to take on
the guitar? What a challenge it was. So, that was how i started going serious
on an instrument. And so i practiced at home when i have the time, it was something fulfilling, learning a simple song was so exhilarating. Day by day, i was just practising chords and practically the same stuff, thanks to Aloy for teaching me
this wonderful instrument. Then ONE DAY IN SCHOOL when i was Sec4(see how it links =x), Adam asked me to come along for a jamming session, with some E1 guy called Wei Chiang and a Sec3 drummer called Savin, when all gathered we all headed down to a nearby jamming studio called Sound Laboratory or SoundLabs for short.
It was a really cool studio, nice place, spacious, very nice equipment and at that time i didn't even know what Marshall, Roland, Ampeg etc etc. was.
It was probably the first time i touched the electric guitar in a very very very
long time, i thought it would be very different as all i played and practiced on
was acoustics and classicals heck i didn't even know how to differeniate those 2 back then. My god i sure have come a long way. But anyways we jammed the songs they asked me to learn, thank god it was a few chords, and it also the first time i got
exposed to an effect pedal, IT was practically the first time i ever got myself
exposed to this kind of thing jamming.
And so my passion for music just grew so damm fast. Learned so many things,
researched on a lot of stuff which i don't want to mention
cause im lazy to type =x
Thus, i pretty much got hooked onto guitaring, so much so ive overtook Aloysius
but hey a big shoutout to my master!!
Jamming and bands, ive been to gigs organised by my friends and stuff and yeah
picked up a lot of stuff along the way.
Now even Joel and Laurent are going musical because of a little jam session
when Aloy, Joel, Laurent and I were bored so i suggested why not jam,
so we went in played for an hour, came out and Aloy said let's form a band
and thus everything just took off from there. Joel is becoming a pretty decent bessist and Laurent he is just picking up the drums fast.
A lot of things happened after the day i had my first jamming session with Adam and gang, and right now i just want to keep on honing those skills.
Thats pretty much my musical history, as Laurent said.......
A self taught intermediate. Cheers....
