t's been entryless for a long time!!! ;D

Anyway, hope everyone has had his or her share of joy or sorrow in the post-promo period, and now it's time to pack up those emotions and move on! ^^

Oh and something to comment about, for Openhouse,

TJC GUITAR CLUB, you've done well!

Great job! We didnt have a lot of time to prepare and there were rushes here and there but i must say we handled them better than i expected. ;D So yeah, quick applaud for yourself and everyone else! (;

Since we are playing the theme song for Spirited Away composed by Joe Hisaishi, we should get to know more of his works. yay! Here's one from him which is currently my favourite! BEAMS.

Summer by Joe Hisaishi. A pretty jumpy piece which gives me more of the feel of Spring rather than Summer i have no idea why. haha. The dynamics around 1minute plus there is good! Overall, i think it's catchy and sweet! yay! anw i'm just offering my super-novice comments because i think anyone who loves music doesnt have to know about music to express music. Right? Right. hahah. Knowing music is never enough, it's about loving it. Anyway a random comment, lol his hands like one dark one fair lidat, very distracting. hahah.

Main theme of Howl's Moving Castle. Listen to the climax of the song at around 2minutes plus. Don't you think it's so breathtaking to be part of an orchestra, making music altogether with other music lovers? The whole orchestra moving as one with the conductor, you can see from the clip, that's something i think we should learn from. (;

Piano and Nine Cellos - Madness. A very dark piece. If you're a Cello lover, i think you'll like this.

Well, for guitar lovers, Spirited Away's Always with Me is up next. ;D

That's how it sounds like when it's played solo. Rather cool. Anyway, when you look at the clip, you can actually learn certain techniques from this guy. If you look at his right hand, he actually doesnt move much of his fingers. Unlike some of us, we move too much. lol. If you do it like him, you actually have more time to prepare for your next note so yeah. Similarly, he doesnt move much of his left hand's fingers. That is to faciliate fluid movement along the fingerboard actually. Practising scales will help. (; Though it can get a little dry at times.

This is a clearer version. Anyway, this guy here has his thumb on the erm, top, of the fingerboard? actually i dont think it's correct. I remember my conductor saying that the thumb should always be at the back of the neck, not seen from the front... Yeah. But this is nice though! Easier to learn, if you're interested in playing it solo. (;

If you want to learn the chords and the song step-by-step, this is a good tutorial. ;D But you do need to capo it at the 5th fret i think.

After posting the clips, i'm so tempted to go learn the song! hahah. so, later then! Take care alright!
