Beauty Contests
OH MY GOD GAPNAP CARRIES PAUL GILBERT'S INJECTORS PICKUPS!!!! OH SHIT OH SHITTTTT SHOULD I BUY A SEMI HOLLOW OR UPGRADE MY RG!!??? WHY IS LIFE SO HARD WHY CAN'T I HAVE EVERYTHING ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding. The RG can wait.
Truthfully, I couldn't stop smiling when I laid my eye on this baby.. Goddamn, I'm still smiling now.
NONONO!!
I must not distract myself.. from acquiring... a new toy...
It's been almost a month since I've decided on buying a new guitar and I'm glad to say that I sort of made my choice already. After weeks of pondering, it has become clear that the Ibanez AF75TDG is purely G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome?). It's not something that I need but much rather, something that I want (just because it's a cheaper alternative to the great Gretsch White Falcon look). To conclude, it was down to a once in a decade battle between Epiphone Dot and Cort Source.
One BIG problem with me is that when I wanna buy guitars, I always register them for a beauty contest in the deep and dark corner of my mind.. which is a very detestable thing to do in the eyes of so-called "tone purists"?? I don't know the term for these people. Thankfully, I still adhere to the school of thought that says tone is in the fingers/hands. Give me a beauty and I'll try my best to make it sound as beautiful as I can.
As I was saying, the Ibanez is out of the picture. Hopefully I'll be able to get it next year though heheheheh. So... I have the Epiphone Dot in this corner. Honestly speaking, I only want it because it's Epiphone. It's a brand name. It's what Armani Exchange is to Armani. A cheaper alternative. Nothing else. Nil. Even so, it's still more expensive than the other choice that I have, which is the Cort Source
I really like the Bigsby-esque bridge on the Source-BV. The colour isn't that bad too, though I'm not sure if it comes in Cherry Red. But the HEADSTOCK!!! The Cort Logo is so ugly and so bland :( And the pickguard has sharp edges which I dislike on semi-hollows.
BUT THEN!!!
Few days ago I saw something hanging on the wall of Music Master (Gapnap's shop). After a few facebook messages and a phone conversation later, I found out that it is an AXL AE-820. It's a beautiful guitar... It doesn't have the exorbitant price of an Epiphone (for my budget) and the horrendous looking headstocks and pickguards of Corts. BUUUUUUUUUUUUT it doesn't come in the colour that I want *BAWL* There's no Cherry Red but I can settle on the White one that I saw in their official website. I don't know if Gapnap has the white one though hmmm..
Simply put, my current train of thought is to go try out the Source and AE-820 when I get back to KL just to make sure it isn't completely unplayable. Probably confirm the colour selection of the AE-820 later on, which is the deciding factor in this beauty contest. May the best looking guitar win!
p.s. If you're from South East Asia or specifically Malaysia, go get your instruments from Gapnap. This guy is one of the most trustable and reliable sonuvabitch I've encountered.

If You're Not Gonna Do Anything, Shut Up
I really love how people are showing support for Japan only in the wake of the destruction that just happened few hours ago when millions of people are suffering and dying from poverty, hunger, and incurable diseases every fucking day. Apparently, it takes a catastrophe(happening to others) to ignite the humanity inside us.
But hey, it's fine to provide support to them. Just as long as it requires you to sit there, talking shit and not doing anything, right? If people are really concerned, the first thing they'd do is to volunteer for help, donating through the proper channels, and countless other ways.
Nope, people just want to talk about it. In the end, they won't do shit. Why? Cause it's not them who're getting fucked. Why? Cause most are just looking out for themselves.
They don't need your prayers or blessings. They need your help.

Girl is Good at Guitar
This just in..
As usual, I was reading up on the latest k-pop news, looking for new hot chicks to fantasize about when I came across... this. Noh Lee Young from the idol girl group, After School.
I don't know what to believe in anymore. Is this world real? Am I living in the matrix? Is Batman really a closet bi-sexual in disguise? TELL ME PEOPLE, TELL ME!!!!
All stupid jokes aside, I think she's playing slower than the actual version. Wait.. probably not slower, but less notes in a bar. Mistakes here and there, too. Weak vibrato. Some out of pitch bends too. And someone under the comments section made called vibrato as "vibration" which takes the "oomph" out of the word in addition to causing me to choke on my drinking water.
But the thing is she's a girl?!! SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO BE BETTER THAN ME IN ALTERNATE PICKING ARGHHH!! This definitely brought in some loss for my confidence.. Moreover, she's in an idol group which inevitably takes a toll on her practicing time, since she has to learn dancing, singing and all that shit.
As a practitioner of the "Exploding Five Finger Gilbertian Style" art of shredding, I will adhere to my Style's code of conduct and not back down from this girl's overwhelming awesomeness. When the time comes, I will have my skills honed to prepare for this girl, who is clearly practicing the "Swedish Diminishing Viking Style". COME AT ME, BITCH! I WILL MELT YO FACE!
Oh yeah, before you guys get your fap on, I just wanna let you guys know that she looks ugly without the makeup and the brilliant lighting in this video. Nice playing, nevertheless.
