Gelo's Thoughts April 27, 2009

Its been a long time since I last posted here. Nabasa ko ulet yung mga nauna kong blog and naawa ako sa sarili ko looking back how foolish I am when it comes to love. Past is past, mixed emotions din e, nakakaawa pala ako lalo na pag kinakawawa ko ang sarili ko at nakakatawa na din as if I am a person outside myself seeing a guy in pain.

Now let's change the topic. I am happy now because I see the changes in myself from the last blog that I created years ago and the changes of Gelo today as I write this. I love to talk about music, pag music na talaga ang usapan that's when I talk a lot. I love sharing ideas about equipments, techniques and everything I experienced in music good or bad. My lovelife is still the same, loveless pa rin pero ok lang dadating din siya in the right time and place, sana ikaw na yun kung ikaw nga ang "ikaw" na tinutukoy ko ngayon, malamang alam mo na siguro kung sino ka o malamang hindi pa basta I won't name names pero paniguradong hindi na ung "her" na tinutukoy ko sa mga huling blog ko.

Who is the new "SHE" sa buhay ko, it is something for me to keep a secret for secrecy is really needed today mahirap ang sitwasyon at baka lalo pang lumabo.

Ngayon ay April 27, 2009, headline news, Jeff Beck is going to be inducted in the 2009 Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. He is one of my favorite guitarists. He has very good technique with unique vibrato style. I love his version of Cause We Ended As Lovers originally recorded by Stevie Wonder isa din siya sa mga idol ko. When I listen to Jeff, he never fails to send chills down my spine, grabe ang intensity and feelings na nilalagay niya sa bawat kalabit ng gitara at bawat kambyo niya sa tremelo bar ng strat niya. Because of him, I studied and came up with my own style of finger picking, mahirap talaga ang style nya so I came up with a remedy for now. Another technique a guitarist must learn from Jeff is the way he plays with volume controll, if you pluck a string with the volume turned off, then as the strings vibrate turn the volume up gently, slowly but surely it makes the guitar sound like a violin, play with your tremelo bar if you have one on your guitar it gives a creepy sound but if used correctly as Jeff does it gives a very sexy sound grabe nakakarelax enough with that I might get naughty, basta nakakarelax haha congratulation Sir Jeff Beck! Hope I reach your level and fame ;)

My song of the day is Paul Mccartney's "Your Loving Flame" a song he wrote for his ex-girl friend Heather Mills.

As Pinoy Rappers di ako sure ha basta rapper pinoy man o hindi introduce their piece, let me start by saying "It goes a little something like this!" break it down hahaha:

Here Forever In Your Loving Flame

= Paul McCartney =

Your Loving Flame, my personal favorite from the Driving Rain album. The song is very me, the happy, sad, angry and very loving me, I find it really sweet and it really caught me offguard the first time I heard it, it made me cry and memories really came back with all the effects that you can get from a slide show you made using a regular powerpoint, well they call me Gelo Boy Blues, iyakin huwag lang gagalitin! hahahaha just kidding, jokes are half meant anyway. Enough with that, you know guys, try to research on this song or you can ask me its mp3 file, learn and sing this to your girlfriend or boyfriend just transpose the chords ladies! The song is easy to play and kahit medyo palpak basta sincere ka, the kilig factor will surely follow.

As I end this, guys you can comment anytime pag may requests let me know or if there is something to improve let me know, I am not a writer, what you read is what you get ika nga. How can I, Hope to reach your love? Help me to discover what it is you're thinking of. April 27 is one of the best days in my life and I wanna thank God for giving me another day to live. I love you all and to "she" I think I'm loving you more and more..... take care!
