Guitar Workshop & Masterclass


such a jolly day i had ^o^

Tuesday, 7th of June, I've received a call from su mei saying that she had triumphly obtained a ticket for me at MPO! Gosh, thank you! It's funny 'coz the ticket was actually a Guitar Workshop & Masterclass and neither I nor guitar know each other. Haha..At first, I didn't realized it. Not until I browse through what had written on the ticket! *LOL* I thought it's a performance for Spanish guitar. Aihz! I should have apprise my fellow friends who know guitar about it. Sorry...

The Guitar Masterclass was under Jose Maria Gallardo Del Rey's supervision. He's a spanish professional player. Too bad I can hardly read his biography in his official web despite it's in spanish or else I can tell you more about him. Ahah!

In the masterclass, there's 3 participants from UCSI. One of them is Su Mei's friend lo. *LOL* Each of them performed a different song and Gallardo guided + pointed out some significant mistakes. Of course, he knew some of the mistakes were caused by tension. I personally think that su mei's friend is the best among all the 3 participants. Provided he played louder as well as livelier. ^o^

Follow up, after the 10 minutes intermission, it's a Q & A section where you can ask any questions regarding Gallardo and guitar. This was an interesting part of all. He did supplied a lotz of valueble tips! In my opinion, the worthiest question was the one questioned by the second participant. GOOD! It goes like this:

Q: After practicing for an hour or so, one will eventually feel painful or discomfort. How to overcome it?

A: Oh! You shouldn't have feel painful for guitar is not meant to torture you! It's meant to make you happy! treat it as your friend not ur enemy. If you feel discomfort, that means your posture had make you feel uncomfortable while playing it. Your body is smart. After a long period of practice, do some strectching for your fingers and body. Do it in the opposite way. (eg. you play guitar with ur fingers 'in' rite? do it in the opposite way means stretch your fingers 'out' using the other hand) It should have help you alotz. =) <-- He smiled

*Note: these Q&A is wrote by me from what I've remember. So, hope you guys don't mind. I didn't bring any recorder along. XD

Oh yeah! He also mentioned he uses alotz of Flamenco technique. =)

"Fish"ness

*cover up my face* No!!! Don't look at me. No please. I'm soooooooooo embarrassed. Gosh! That guy's face, his teasing smile really beh tahan!!!!! GERAM! Okay. I do admit my driving skill is uhm...very imperfect. lol. Especially for front, side parking and narrow places. 4 hours ago, I was at this mamak in OUG called Steven Corner. It was recommended by my friend, kua, with the reason: that place very bright and crowded, so, it's a safe place! lol. Everyone knows these days, crime cases are everywhere. It's always better to avert something undesirable from occuring. =) Well well, back to topic. The first thing you need to do when you arrived is...... of course, find a parking place. Round and round I turned. Finally, got myself a fine parking place. (Note: the word "fine" meaning to say that the parking lot is available, near and most importantly, a legal parking!) But, it's not the finest. It's a SIDE PARKING, as crowded as always. Great. I gotta d...

The Moon @@!

You are The Moon Hope, expectation, Bright promises. The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window. The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition. What Tarot Card are You?
