About
Okay . About myself . nice
My name is Clement .I am a retired Shredder. Still A Rockstar wannabe . Started my own guitar shop , that makes me a young entrepreneur but i prefer to call myself a businessman. A Guitar Hero wannabe .A philosopher wannabe . Many wannabes but hey , that is me , simple gapnap 
Oh yeah , I am from Petaling Jaya , Selangor . uh. Malaysia . i love Malaysia 
Okay , this is me …erm 5 years ago when i was STILL active in the music scene.
me trying to be a rockstar
my background .
born in 24 December 1986 . I graduated with an Accounting degree .
Like every other guitarist , my dream is to be a rockstar lah..but as we grow older , reality kicks in …i’ve tried , and i failed …yes ..
i work my ass off so that i can play guitar at a decent level ..
i’ve tried the underground scene , being a pub musician , recording some originals and trying to get it up on radio ..ahh..none of it works for me ..
my band ended up in the event and entertainment industry playing covers ..but hey , its okay ..i still love my band ..the pay is decent but not enough to make a living ..
Plus , playing a cover as a band , isn’t as easy as you think ..it is not about seeing the tabs and chords and just wank together …it is about learning the attack , the style and the dynamics ..
back to reality ..
I always wanted a Job with full of guitars .I want to PLAY GUITAR for a living. You know , walk in my office , lepak everyday with full of guitars , shred all day long , talking cock to customers and friends …
oh yeah , and i would love to travel for NAMM shows ..i think its super cool yea? holidaying at United states or JAPAN , meeting guitar Dealers and manufacturers , striking deals and negotiating ..and i get to see my guitar heroes too !
Before you graduate , you see your friends all pushing themselves for a 9am-5pm Big corporate Job ..
gapnap says , Screw them . I am young and i can afford to fail . I wanna be what i want to be ..
Then , Music Master was born .
So here i am today , a CEO of Music Master Studio ( believe me , it sound glamorous only ) , the CEO of Music Master is actually Chief-Everything-Officer . My Job Description is to do everything and anything under the roof ..from Washing toilets , Trying to repair a guitar , preparing and trying not to screw up the accounts , teaching guitars , supplying guitars , managing my office politics , meeting up and kissing my suppliers arse …and many more ..
and to sum it up .
This blog is about my journey of teaching and inspiring others

This blog is about my journey , working the hard way in the Malaysia’s Music Scene and entertainment industry

me and my Ibanez
Guitars I love:
I like Birdseye maple fingerboard . I think Gold hardwares is SEXY . I like guitar with bindings . I like tree of life inlays too . First Choice would be Mahogany Body , Basswood will be next ..i don’t really dig Alder ..
Guitar playing:
I think I am just an average player.err..ok..maybe below average.
Ok guys , the thing about guitar , it is like knowledge .
The more you know , the more you realized you don’t know nuts . Few years ago , I thought I was the ULTIMATE SHREDDER ALIVE
You know , when you are 17 , 18 years old ..you suddenly realized you can sweep pick, or hit 20 notes per second and you think you are the best..
then I met new guitar players ( Bode , Zack Kim to name a few ) I realized I can’t even get my basic vibrato right . let alone Jazz improvisation .So , a lil advice for you’ll upcoming shredders . String Skip Tapping is just the beginning of your journey. always be humble.
Anyway , Thank you for Visiting my blog . I hope i inspired you
