Guitar Lesson

The Guitar Lesson yesterday was fun. We went over bass note picking for about five minutes, then started to have some fun. First, I noticed that he was wearing an Alice in Chains shirt, so we got talking on how Godsmack ripped off Alice in Chains. He also showed me some examples. Then we started to play distortion. He taught me how to switch E to D and E to A and so on. Switching isnt as easy as it looks.  Out of habit, i keep striking the sixth string on the distortion E. And plus i have to get used to resting my hand on the bridge (it feels awkward). So i'll be doing some practice this week!

RE: Hershey Park

Hershey Park was awesome! I got on three rollercoasters, The Comet, The Wildcat, And The Roller Soaker. It was awesome! The Wildcat was by far the most intense ride i got on that day. It was so bumpy! And when you go on turns, you feel like you're going to flip over! The beggining of the ride was the most intense part, because you fall straight down, sideways!

FYI: I know i said i would tell u guys what music i listened to, but i didn't want to bring my iPod. Too much of a risk it would get stolen. Sorry Guys!.

Hershey Park

I'm going to Hershey Park tomorrow! It should be fun, I'll be sure to post how it goes!


Author's Note: Yes,yes I know, this post has nothing whatsoever to do with music. I'll post done songs I listen to on the way there if it helps heal the wounds.

THIS WEEK'S TOP TEN SONGS ON THE CHARTS 7 \ 19 \ 10 + review

FYI: I will review these songs, and the songs to come on the charts, every Monday from now on.

1 California Gurls -Katy Perry Featuring Snoop Dogg 8\10 Catchy song, can get annoying

2 Love The Way You Lie- Eminem Featuring Rihanna 6\10 would be a good song without all the rapping

3 Airplanes -B.o.B Featuring Hayley Williams 7\10 Another song that would have been better w\ out rapping

4 Dynamite -Taio Cruz 7\10 Has a Ke$ha feel to it...a fun but kind of annoying song.

5  I Like It- Enrique Iglesias Featuring Pitbull 7\10 Catchy but dumb song

6 OMG -Usher Featuring will.i.am 7\10 somewhat stupid song, but its great for a party

7 Not Afraid -Eminem 8\10 Nice song

8 Billionaire- Travie McCoy Featuring Bruno Mars 10\10  Awesome song. Very motivational. One of the best blends of pop and rap i've heard in a while.

9 Cooler Than Me- Mike Posner 9\10 Good, creative song.

10 Ridin' Solo- Jason Derulo 4\10 Such an annoying song! Get this off the charts!

Author's note: Im happy to say that Ke$ha did not make this list. =)

Guitar

Just got finished practicing. Nothing very interesting to report. I went over bass note picking again, as well as practicing (a little) notes of distortion. Again, as i've said before, I think I have mastered the material Mr K gave to me for this week. Not much more intense practicing is needed this week, although tommorow I'm going to go over the neck of the guitar (notes). Better safe than sorry!

Lady GaGa

Have you ever noticed that Lady Gaga's songs all have the same pattern? For instince, all of her songs start out with a verse,(i'm not sure if you can call it singing, more talking) , then the catchy chorus, then another talking verse, then a low-pitched talking verse, sounding menacing. Then it keeps going in that pattern, until the song abruptly ends.  Of course, there are some exceptions. Besides, i have nothing against Lady GaGa, i actually like her, but this is just something I noticed about her songs.

    Peace=)

Swimming

A couple of days ago, i went swimming at a public pool for a while. There was a DJ and I walked up to him and said, well actually i screamed because the music was so loud,"Can you play all you need is love?!" I screamed. "By The Beatles?" He screamed back. "Yeah!" A bunch of other kids walked up to him and made requests. But i'm sure they were poppy singles. Anyway, the DJ must've played every other song in excistance, except mine. I can't say i was surprised, i asked the same thing last week with "No Reply" (There's an inside joke for all you Beatle-nuts)  I can't come across why he wouldn't play the song, because he played a few Bosten songs and a Quiet Riot song,so it's not about the age. I dunno, maybe he has a grudge against The Beatles, or something, because he didn't seem to hesitate to play every song known to man by, Laday Gaga, Ke$ha,Justin Beiber and Beyonce. But i will not be silenced!! I will request that song every week if I have to! Meh, who am i kidding, i'll just keep my head underwater to drown out the terrible music=)
