I haven't been blogging as often as I was supposed to. I planned to post at least once in a week. But I have been playing with El Dia non-stop for the past few days (except yesterday, 'cause I had it in my head to draw this scene that's been on my mind lately... the best place on Earth... the result was one of my spur-of-the-moment "creative" episodes which I plan to continue [because I always wanted to be great at painting and/or other visual arts]). Later, I'll be heading out with a friend to BGC to crash one of Ukulele Manila's Meet Strum Jams. I'm excited to try the uke. I didn't think about the instrument nor even considered wanting to own one, but now I'm soooo planning to get one. I'm setting aside dreams of owning a cajon or a skin djembe for a uke, although everything is still a long way off.

I haven't made any progress with the triplet since the last post, mainly 'cause it's really noisy and I don't wanna muffle it. I'm only waiting for the right opportunity to play it again, without disturbing the rest of the people in the house.

Good news! I've tabbed a new song :) It's Meaghan Smith's A Little Love and no you can't find a good tab anywhere else! I'll be sending it over to Ultimate Guitar when I get around to it. Wait for updates. I'd love to say I did it by ear, but no. I based it on one of their live performances via YT.

PS. I don't really understand why some "guitarists" and YT crawlers demand for tabs from the cover artists when duh they can see the tabs on screen. I mean, is it sooo hard to copy the left hand fingering?

Oh, and I have a violin/guitar duet practice coming up c/o a college friend. National Anthem and The Prayer. Yikes, I dunno how to interpret them yet!

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

Hi!

I forgot to post last week. No good news though. I'm still stuck with my repertoire, making slow progress on Hey Jude and Ikaw fingerstyles.

Anyway, I just unearthed my bamboo flute. Horrendous sound, but it'll do for now.

I'll post 2 videos hopefully within the week. Faulty net connection and all.

I miss playing my djembe with a group.
