Kitty is outta the bag

So like two nights back a friend said please, so i just had to show her..right did warn her about the blah blah nature and well she did appreciate that it did serve its function well, a journal to myself thanks :P

And the day after a friend searched Kinki guitar blog on google and got to this blog anyways O_O. Karma u didn't get me this time :P. So yea its outta the bag, so i told my bestie as well.

so yea cats outta the bag, nothing much to see here anyways, but i took a read of my blog from the bottom to here.

Hmm yes past jin was a total noob at guitar, he thought most ppl are experts and most guitars are fantastic. He wasn't totally wrong, just that he didn't see the stuff i see now.My mindset from then and now are rather different.

My favorite music has also changed over this past year too, children of bodom is still my fav but there are many more now, not just Scandinavian metal x].

As for a summary of my guitar playing so far. Well, been playing acoustic since last year December ish. And electric guitar since august. Not much time really, but I'm not a rookie no more. Obviously my theory is still terrible but i do believe my technique is getting there ^_^.

I used to play gauge 9 strings on e tuning. Now i play Eb tuning with gauge 10 partly because of the lack of availability for gauge 9 but I'm very comfy with this setup. Before my gauge 10 would be D tuning since the tension was too high in higher tunings.

At the very beginning it hurt almost everywhere on the hand and my arm would cramp, right now it just hurts at rather odd lines along my forearm and the palm of my hands. Arpeggios are weird like that i suppose. Also the muscles along the elbows also seems to be strained as well. Well i am new to this so my body has yet to even physically develop enough to keep up with my exercises. It feels like gym all over again really :P

As for the mental side, Ive learned only a few scales and i don't really intend to learn more theory unless need calls for it. Main thing right now is to develop technique and thats being going at a very suitable rate of learning.

The internet has been more or the less the only source of learning for me, youtube vids of players demonstrating their magic and sites made by well wishing ppl who dump all this info freely. Only about a percent or so from real life friends.

Ive gone through lots of picks, strings, amp and effects setups and guitar adjustments and i think I'm finally getting to the near perfect settings for myself. The rest is for me to keep going forward, i still have a way to go.

My other commitments do have a way of totally getting in the way of practices but well that's life for you. Not a kid anymore where u can spend all day doing anything you want.

For everyone reading so far. Its still just me blabbing about guitars right now. But you all are more than welcome to waste your time reading it though :P.

That's it for now, back to practice :3
