another musical direction?
yesterday was our jamming session (sadly, without bassist). although it sounds empty, but we made some music. our new jamming 'base' was in bangsar, just behind bangsar putra. gears were new, but the amp placement a bit suck. coz both guitarist can't hear what they are playing. maybe it's becoz of the sound.
progress? a bit i shall say... i wanna develop the new song (yes, lots of my songs were undeveloped) i'm sometimes my own worst critique (hmm..is this word right??)...aiya. who cares, i'm not a linguist, hahah.
i got this idea to develop the songs that i had written (and yesterday i told fei bout it) and he seem to agree with my suggestion. so i'll inform to you guys (the bandmates), that i plan to had at least 1 meeting session fortnightly, just discuss and develop the songs together. everybody will get the credit. it's not just (song by me, lyrics by me), or (song by dave, lyrics by dave) or (song by me and lyrics from dave). i knew there would be some hidden troubles if we use this method. the only solution, is to be open minded, and we must do it for the sake of the song itself (maybe now you guys) wont understands, but if we proceed with this, you will know what i mean.
there was two songs that i presented to them yesterday. actually they jammed it once last time. but i don't think wai knew bout it (not sure). it was that travis picking song, but somehow it don't sound countryish. if we sit together and develop that thing, it will be damn cool song.
the other one, the 5/4 song. we were having some troubles coordinating with that time. it sounded stiff. even i wrote the riff, but when it comes to playing with the band, i can't syncronise...ciss!!! we'll settle that later.
the coolest part of the jamming session. the inpromptu song from us. if i'm not mistaken, it started from 2 notes i played. it was like the coolest sound that i had ever played on the guitar. it was the 74th patch on the built-in effect. it was a wah sound. and at the same time, i was using the dirty (distortion channel). when it combines, it was hooked man. and then the rest of the band join in. and we played it with dynamics and some strategically placed silence along the songs. we gave each other signals when to to play harder and play softer, it's like a maestro conducting the orchestra. i'm satisfied, man. although sometimes i need to screamed out the instruction to them (not that the guys can't follow instruction, it was just too noisy). but it was worth it, there are times that we can just play along together so well. and having these guys as bandmates is a bliss...
i think we can perform. just that we are not ready yet and don't have the confidence to do that. if we don't function as a band, how we can do those improvised session. we (i mean me and fei) lacked confidence. it's true...sometimes i under rated myself and my skills.
and wai will be surprised with hyper simple shit song. it was not the usual simple shit with G, D, C, D chords. get ready to rumble....
