So here's a short cover of me playing On The Backs Of Angel by Dream Theater.
It's a really catchy riff and I've yet to full comprehend the whole syncopation thing that John Petrucci mentioned in the video lesson.

Tried NOT to hide behind the mix. I think I did okay.

Apart from that,I played by feeling and this is what came out!

Another noteworthy thing I'd like to mention is my dad,
I never really mention about thanking him for buying me that guitar in this video. Hence I feel that I should be thanking him for supporting me in every possible way even though he's really skeptical about me going into this industry.

I really understand that what he fears ( My appearance,alcohol,drugs,etc) and it's something that I feel, should not taken lightly,and that I recognize that it's not easy to let a loved one pursue their interests that they themselves are really skeptical about.

So,I thank you dad. For supporting me in this - and my friends and family,for that matter!

I'm working my way up,I'm working really hard to get what I want and I'm really thankful that there are people out there giving me the positive energy to go on albeit it's just a small support.

I believe one day,this will all pay off. This I swear.

Just got into periphery and I started noticing the guitars locks in with the kick drum. Hence the excercise.
Really amazing.
Just doing the basics first,the complex ones later on in the future.

Guitar tone /Drum test

Heavy Metal Guitar Tone Test

Just did this on an evening,I thought that I should be improving on my knowledge on trying to make midi drums as human as possible and the guitar tone to be heavy yet nice

Trying to not hide behind the mix

Doing my routine-ish practice covers!
Pretty melodic solo, thought it's easy I tried to take it seriously; not trying to hide behind the mix but still some parts are sloppy!

Nevertheless enjoy.
p/s enjoy my yawn face. hahah!

I had to make this from a visualization to reality in order to make progress with the song, I often find myself playing the things that I came up with over and over. Hence the lack of productive sessions. Tada,here was roughly what in my mind for one of Flesh Forbades's original song.

Rain Waltz

Rain Waltz


Watched immortal song 2 yesterday night and I was captivated at how the singers really bring forth the emotions in the songs to the audiences. And it's not what everyone is good at,even though you're a good singer. And I was specifically interested in this performance:



A sad waltz.
I'd like to delve into this dimension of music,improve upon it, and hopefully able to apply it to my music which I'm currently composing right now.
