Gr3y Custom Shop Relaunch

In order to fufill my need to showcase my guitar paint jobs and such, i relaunched my [Gr3y Custom Shop].

I use to do alot of custom jobs for people on the forum till the extend there was a queue. Then i joined a guitar company and it seems inappropriate to do it because it clashes in the interest. So yes now i am officially relaunching my side line :D

Check Gr3y Custom Shop Now!

It's all about music!

Recently i did another paint job for guitar. This piece i did, was very very different from what i normally do. I normally make guitar looks very posh and glam but this time i did the exact reverse! Check it out!

Now if you are wondering what is this guitar, this is the John Mayer Black Strat Replica.

This is only for people with acquired taste. It's not everybody's meat, or so I've learn.

Another thing i just had to blog regarding music

Chromatone

This again is not for anybody! Look at the amount of complicated all white keys! It's crazy to play this thing. This keyboard layout was patented in 1882 by Hungarian mathematician/musician Paul von Janko. The theory is that it's much easier to play chord shapes are the same in every key, and the closer-spaced keys make it possible to play faster. But, like decimal time, and the Dvorak computer keyboard, the world of Janko is divided between a tiny group of passionate believers and an enormous mass of people who've never really given it a second thought.

I think you can get these from here.
If not, i guess you can find more info on it :)

Here's a few videos from youtube.

The Thunder Is Over...

Yes finally the ThunderFunk ended with a classic standing ovation but with a little party dance from the audience! They ended the song with Stanley Clarke's classic Schooldays.

From the start to the end, the 3 virtuoso did not stop to amaze their audience.
Stanley Clarke's lead bass style to crazy upright playing.
Marcus Miller's funky grooves and great playing on the alto sax and bass clarinet.
Victor Wooten's ultra fast pop slaps and a crazy display of loop pedal usage for solo.
Honestly, if you missed this show i think it's quite a shame. They probably will not come anytime soon even if there is a plan.

The security was very strict on photo taking that night.But hey because the audience don't give a damn, i managed to take a few alright shots to share here :) here we go!

The Gears

The fans

THE $30 POSTER!!!!!

This crazy sean bought this $30 poster and see how he protects his precious poster! The whole boot was cleared just to make sure nothing will crush that poster! He must be damn happy with this new poster at home now :D

Wall-E Part 2

Oh yes i'm still very much on wall-e :)

Been youtube-ing and found a whole bunch of wall-e videos, here's two that i'll highly recommend

Disney Ultimate Wall-E
This is the most advance wall-e toy that you can buy BUT i've not seen them in our local toy'r'us.

Wall-E and Your Morning
It's the huge "life size" wall-e replica that disney made for all the interactive promotions. Pretty neat but yes they are pretty much the bigger versions of the smaller buddies. Limited actions and sound.

Wall-E Dancing
Pixal got a bit mischievous and made a couple of these nice shop clips! Check them out.

Now if you've yet catch this movie, it's time to get your butt moving and catch them on any theater near you! I'm pretty sure if you are like me, you'll love it. :)

Tour of Misia Discotheque Asia

Yes and i just went for the concert of one of Asia's best vocalist! It's truly amazing.

I can't describe how this petite little lady can sing such amazing octaves of strong and mesmerizing vocals. From dolphin whistling to true high note and steady falsettos! It's no wonder to see a full seating even it seems that she is not popular in Singapore.

Despite unable to sing her lyric, i enjoyed it very much. I've never clap and wave and dance in a concert so happily for quite a while. The last concert i went, shall not mention that artist, did disappoint me a bit. It's really how the professionalism can bring the audience alive! Now this is even true and proven because i don't really understand their language!

Oh one thing i've got to say, i didn't realize Singapore have so much Japanese! Almost 70% of the hall is filled with Japanese. Ah.. makes me feel like learning that language again! Now i can only catch small words and short phrases. The whole night i felt like i'm in Japan and the feeling is great! I remember going to the Japanese Cultural Festivals and they are as entertaining.

Recommended listening:
Into The Light
Everything
Taiyou no Malaika /太陽のマライカ

Here's some picture of what i've managed to take. The security(some private company that you'll often see managing the "peace" of the concert) is just too strict just now and those who were caught using the camera were escort to somewhere else to show the security that they are deleting the pictures/video in front of them!

The childish side of me

Welcome to the childish side of me! Apart from the dream catcher rock guitarist, i'm actually very much a child inside me. At least that's what i think i am. :D

Presenting to you! Wall-E!
This Wall-E is going to be my brand new ATD (Amp Top Display) and will join me in any gigs i go! I especially love the way this robot dance! It's just too cool to miss! Wall-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class.If you've watched the movie, there is also Wall-C which i guess it stands for Cyber-Class and they are way huge compared to Wall-E. Haha :D Check their Official Website HERE

Can't help but upload this video of Wall-E dancing to 五月天's song 抓狂. Look at his kungfu like poses! LOL!

Finally back from a long day..

It's 3.22am. I am just back from the mixing of our new recorded song. It's titled [If I Could Dream] and this track will be collected in the upcoming Maestro Guitar's Artist Compilation CD and also the anticipated 讨闹派 RazzlePlay's first full length album that's due next year.

This particular song features about happiness, forgetting reality and most importantly love. It's cheesy to say that but yes this is almost exactly what we are trying to convey in this song. Happiness. :)

Due to copyrights and stuff like that.. i am currently only able to upload a 44secs low quality track( i could hit 1min but it'll make the demo sounds funny). This makes a good ringtone don't you think so? :D

Vics Cajón

Finally i'm posting on this. Can't wait to see the end result huh? Me can't wait to hear it being recorded tomorrow! Here's some pictures :D

This is actually my first attempt in building a cajón. Lots of fun but also lots of time and effort! Sweating was like bathing when doing this. Not forgetting the wood dust that will fly and get stuck onto you!

Cajón is pronounce as "Kay-horn" or some say "Car-horn" and not "Ker-john" or "Car-john"

It's originally a Cuba instrument. To read more click here

The Vics logo is something i came up with, he himself have not seen it at this point of time.. i do hope he'll like it.. I also sprayed some arrows and wrote "this way up" to give it an industrial look :)

Tomorrow, RazzlePlay will be doing an acoustic recording for Maestro Guitars with recording genius Keith Chia and his friend. It'll be included into a free audio CD containing tracks of all their artist(which RazzlePlay is new in their line! :) ) and they will be giving out free upon a purchase of their guitar. If i am not wrong. To confirm, read www.maestroguitars.com.I'll keep the song a mystery for now :D

笑话01

这可是从五月天那听来的！
而我修改了一点 :P

有一天，阿文和阿成到郊外爬山.
当他们来到最高点时, 阿文一个不小心的跌下了山崖!
阿成当场把口袋里的Walkie-Talkie拿出来呼叫阿文.

阿成:bzzz.. bzz.. baa.. 阿文阿文!你听得见吗?
阿文:bzzzz.. bzz.. bz. 有!听见!
阿成:哪,你的脚有事吗?
阿文:没! 没事!
阿成:哇那真好!那手呢?手没事吧?
阿文:手阿.. 让我看.. 也没事!
阿成:你真是命大!这麽高跌下也没事!
阿文:哦,我还在跌! 我现在还在空中!

A gig for my Mr and Mrs President

Finally, the long anticipated gig is over. Well i would say it's one of the better played gig but also one that's filled with alot of last min contingencies..

Anyway i shall let the actual story go onto www.razzleplay.com asap :)

In this picture (Left to Right)
Sandy, Vincent, Sean, Mrs President, Mr President, Magician, Vics, Siling, Simin, Patricia

Friday, September 5, 2008

Sadness filled me..

No, it's not because of tomorrow's gig that i can't sleep.
No, it's not because i'm not tired that i can't sleep.
No, it's not because of some silliness that i can't sleep.

Today i went back to my formal workplace to grab some strings. After being a loyal servant under that company for 2 years, i thought i would still mean something to them. I was completely wrong. Though it's just a pack of guitar string i'm referring here but i'm utterly disappointed with the discount i was given. 10%... yes 10%. Seems alot? nope. Not when you know his cost price. Even the current part timer gets a way better price then what i was given. Well in a way you could say i am wrong to demand for a big discount in the first place. Oh well, guess relationships in a work environment really ends fast after you resign. I'm so sad when i left the place, it was not like that before.

Next, my diy signal swooper became a killer. It murdered my favourite modulation pedal.. MXR Eddie Van Halen Phase 90. Dead! I'm very sad when i realized that. Until now, when ever i look @ my pedalboard, i feel really sad. Though you may again say this is just some effects and can be easily purchased or repaired. I just don't see it that way. My mind is now blogging with all the sadness about the death of my favourite modulation pedal.. :(

The pedal i am referring to is the one on the left.
I'm really annoyed and i can't be bothered to add the beautiful frames and signature on the picture..

John Mayer Live in Los Angeles ( Where the light is )

I know i am supposed to post something on the cajon i built for vics but.. yeah.. haha.. kinda incomplete for now. The front tapa isn't working out nicely as i didnt get the size right. So, i'll owe that for now and review to you the JM's latest DVD.

Where the light is
John Mayer Live in Los Angeles

This DVD features John Mayer's Where the light is concert but not entirely just like any other guitar concert video. It's more, japanese in a way. The classy frontcover tells it all that this is not just about the concert, it reads "a film by danny clinch".

The video starts with John speaking about his ideas and stuff on Mulholland drive, opposite Hollywood. It's a great view and especially classy when you play a mixture of blues and jazz on that hill top with the big Hollywood signboard away in a distance and small moving vehicles down the hill. Of coz, here you'll see his famous "two-rock" amps. These are really really expensive amps that is suppose to be the main element for John's tone. What's Badcat, Fender and other stuff when Two-Rock is in house! hehe.

So the concert consist of 3 parts. The acoustic set, trio and the full band.

In the acoustic set, you'll see how amazing John is on the acoustic guitar. Largely due to his berklee teacher, Tomo Fujita, his playing style is definitely another class from acoustic master Tommy Emmanuel. I can honestly tell you, the stuff he is doing requires alot of thinking and the technique is a mixture of funk and folk!

In the trio set, John showcased his ability to rock like the late Jimmi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The playing style here changed from the funky acoustic to deep heavy blues stuff with emotions loaded. If you are generally a pop listener, you might just find this part abit too heavy to digest. But hey, if you've never watched a SRV or Jimmi Hendrix video then this is good to start your repetoir with.

Lastly, the full band set. This is by far my favourite section actually. I'm like you, lazy to digest complicated stuff at times. haha. The full band gives this perfect John Mayer sound you hear in the album Continuum. The nord's hammond sound, the slow reverbed drumset, the deep smooth bass plus John's voice. It all match up perfect.

I remember when i watch JM during his "Any Given Thursday" era, his expression is simply unacceptable and sometimes does leaves me question on why is this guy famous. I might be shallow back then but i'm pretty sure he himself don't quite like what he saw in the videos. His way of expressing changed alot in this DVD, for the better.

This DVD, he also speaks alot on paparazzi. I believe he is one of the top news creator in the states now. But according to a certain guitar magazine, he isn't quite as known in UK. So anyway, you'll see his hatred for paparazzi, there is even a song on it. haha.

Overall i rate this video 4/5 :)

I Like :
-the way the film is made
-the songs played for the concert
-the quality of the video overall
-the techniques John presented

I Dislike :
-the cheap way of packaging(hard paper cover instead of plastic jewel case)
-the booklet with little images, i'm an image craze
