Guitar Hero

random thoughts :

How do you define success ?

.

.

the common answers :

I want to do what i want

I want time , health , and money ..

I want chicks , big house..

To most people , being successful is all about “getting something” ?

Today , i learned that being successful is not about you getting something , but giving ..

.

Every guitar store in the world should thank PlayStation , Gibson and Guitar Hero (or whoever that is involve)

Now or days , many many kids wanna learn guitar after playing “guitar hero”

i wanna be a guitar hero ! i wanna be a guitar hero !

This will benefit everybody who is in the music and entertainment industry.

1.More guitarist , more business to do

Babe , from Guitar Lessons , to Selling Electric Guitars , to more people appreciating guitar solos ..the money is there

2.Kurt Cobain killed guitar solos in the 90s . Today , Guitar Solos are coming back to life !

Just take a listen to modern music , My Chemical Romance , Dragonforce , A7X , JerryC ..plenty of Solos in there..

3.Give it 2-3 more years , it is going to be COOL to be a guitarist/shredder . DJ club hitz , hip hop , RNB and dancing will be outdated .Just like how break dancing and foosball was super hot 5 years ago , and what happened to breakers and foosballers now ?  We get the chicks , We get the money .  yay !

*Point 3 is actually happening  ..5 years ago , clubs were all about dancing , and club hitz . TODAY , 9pm-12am you have CLUB/PUB bands .The crowd wants it , the demand is growing, the market is developing.

So, GO LEARN HOW TO PLAY GUITAR PROPERLY . The trend is there . Guitar Solos were dead during the 90s.  We have been suffering for the last 20 years .

We can choose to be more than this , we can be slaves,  or we can be LYCANS SHREDDERS !

*quote from underworld : rise of the lycans (2009)

a guitar hero’s dream rig

Around mid of ’07 , while i was still teaching in Subang Jaya

A student’s parent was talking to me about their budget (RM300-RM400) on an electric guitar and an amp .Which is freaking low..

In the end , i got him a USED yamaha E313 for like RM200 or something with a RM150 china brand amp..

After a few weeks , i found out that my student’s dad just spend RM1000+ on a guitar hero world tour set (guitar , drums and mic)

RM1000?!?!?!?!?!

I mean , come on , for RM1000 you can get a decent Yamaha PAC012 and a Roland Microcube

Are these toys really that valuable ?

The long term effect

If you go out there and ask any old fags “who made you picked up the guitar?” ..

they will answer ..

“Slash of GNR”

“Kirk Hammet”

or

“Ritchie Sambora”

The younger generation guitarist will go through something like this..

Kid “Dude , you’re such a great guitarist , who inspired you?”

you ” i have no idea , i think the popular guitar hero on Xbox or Playstation made me wanted to become a guitar hero”

freakin’ sad case .

for me , a guitarist without a guitar hero , is the same thing as  ..

Kid ” Mom , how did you and dad met ? what was it like to be in love? “

Mom ” in love ? its more like in lust . we met at a club , both of us were drunk . and daddy was so excited that he didn’t wear protection , and you came like that. We got married because of you, now go to bed you small little bastard !

guitar hero shredder

LOL , how many people you know , were inspired by the game first , before picking up a guitar ?

  14. I’m waiting for drum hero myself. Chicks dig drummers more than guitarists right? Oops I forgot this is a guitarist blog.. :D

  15. wonder if you guys listened to this song b4: she felt in love with a drummer… (or the drummer or something like tat)

  16. hmm..make sense ..

    Tommy Lee (drummer) was the hero rockstar who dated porn stars

  17. You DO realize that I was a Guitar Hero Runner-up Champion right?
    I realize my picking got better BECAUSE of guitar hero, and my fretting for guitar hero was better BECAUSE of playing real guitar.
    And yes, I play guitar hero using a pick…… more natural to me. Heck, when ever there is a pinch harmonic in the Guitar Hero game, I tend to do a pinch on my guitar controller……. :p

  18. yes , i do :P

    eh Blacktrix , i think not everybody is like you lah ..hahaha..how many guitarist are actually conscious and aware that they are practicing when they are playing guitar heros?

    If you use Jazz III can shred faster on the guitar heros guitar or not ?
