Woot! Just finished my computing practical... which sadly.. isn't going to come back with a rosy score and a teacher's chop "GOOD JOB!" or something like that.
Nevertheless onto other things!
Well despite being onstage for church close to every week, I still consider myself as a so-so guitarist. I recalled calling myself a "stagnated-guitarist". Having able to play chords easily with abit of strumming and plucking was actually quite sufficient for an on stage guitarist. That being said, these few weeks, I've been practicing quite hard to improve myself. It's been because of my friend who recently started jamming with some of his friends and his constant urging for us to go jam together and stuff. I haven't been jamming with them, but his enthusiasm sorted of rubbed off on everyone of us. While his music is more about "muse" and other rock bands, I've been focusing more on "hillsongs" and "planetshakers". Lol, it does make for funny conversations when we talk about riffs and stuff.
Right, so, why "Decisions! Decisions! Decisions!"? Firstly, after my exam I'll have to decide on what engineering I'm going to major in. I have put some thought into it, but I think I'll have to do more research on the courses before making the decision. Also... I've been really wanted to improve my guitar sounds onstage! If you've seen professional guitarists like Nigel of hillsongs, you would have seen his effects pedals and stuff. Here's Some Pictures for you to see!
Something like that
The picture above shows a collection of pedals aka stompboxes. Pedals alone can cost about $100+ already, so a collection like that above would be really expensive. That being said, there is another alternative to all that clutter above, and here it is!
Line 6 PodXt Live
This is a multi-effects pedal! Comes with many many many presets for you to fiddle around with, and has even more sounds than the cluttering of stompboxes above, and it's cheaper too! This cost $592 from www.citymusic.com.sg. You might be asking, "Then get it already!" Right, the problem is multi-effects like this one are actually digital effects. In short, it doesn't sound as authentic as a guitar plucked into an amp. It makes the sound quite.. "computerish" if you want to put it that way. However there are alot of comments about it being good enough for on stage playing if you're not picky! Some say most wouldn't even tell the difference.
Argh! Which is why I really need to try it first before making a decision. Six hundred bucks is alot of money! BUT IT'S EXAM PERIOD! Argh Again!
Ah well.. too long a post already. Time to do my last physics online assignment.
In the Words of Caleb.. Have a "HAPPYYYYYYYYYY" week ahead! Weekends in 2 days!
*EDIT! thought I'll just put in my exam schedule as well. 21st April - Mathematics II 21st April - Economics 23rd April - Electrical Engineering 24th April - C Programming 28th April - Physics
As people who love God and His Word, we want to actively serve Him and excite those around us to do likewise (ignited).
We also want to actively seek and save the spiritually lost (lifesavers).
Last but not least, like 'tiles' used in construction, we want to help lay the 'tiles' and build God's church on earth.
Prayer Request.
Everyone: to have everlasting ignited fire!
