New Songs TBA

April 3, 2005

As I am a proud owner of a Japanese Fender Stratocaster, some of the new songs will be from the electric guitar.

Songs that may appear:

Stevie Ray Vaughan

August 31, 2004

If you haven't listened to Stevie Ray Vaughan, I strongly urge you to pick up a song if you can.

Site Updated & New Song

August 29, 2004

The look and feel of this site has been finally updated. I have taken the CSS from Fredrik and modified it a bit for my own usage.

The new song, Landslide, is soley dedicated to T.M.

Lately, my desire to practice the guitar has drastically increased. I have a feeling this is due to the concert that I attended at Jones Beach with John Mayer and Maroon 5. I must say that Hendrix and SRV still live through musicians like John.

Lastly, if you are going to practice, use a metronome. Using it has not only improved my playing but it makes it easier to learn a new song.

Heavy Breathing?

June 3, 2004

New songs from John's album Heavier Things have been added. Surprisingly, the song "Something's Missing" isn't as hard as I thought it'd be. This of course doesn't mean that I need to perfect it. I highly doubt any songs here are perfect but rather something I can playback and hear exactly what I sound like. Speaking of which, my microphone does a great job capturing my heavy breathing during this song. I'll re-record it when I get new strings.
