1 blog seemed just a tad poor for the juggernaught that is my profile.
Anyway, every gig I have seen since the last blog has been awesome. Rage Against the Machine, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Paul Gilbert. All were amazing, Pablo Gilberto was a small gig in a local music store and everyone there got 6 or 7 playing exercise sheets.
Upcoming gigs, are Joe Satriani, Disturbed and Def Leppard/Cheap Trick. Satch is on Monday, can't wait.
As far as playing, I got a second teacher who has helped my playing and theory knowledge immensely. Anyone who wants some exercises, just PM me and i'll pass on some stuff.
I'm also looking at getting into some advanced rhythm playing (my teachers focus alot on lead), so if anyone has any excercises about it, or a chord chart for Joe Satriani's chord exercises, i'd be mighty grateful if you PM'ed them to me or just left a comment where to find them.
Now, there seems to be a dilemma with my song-writing. My riffage is, if I say so myself, decent. I've got 3 riffs I want to use and 2 half-song ideas down, but there just always seems to be some other shit come up, or i'll practice for a couple of hours and not bother with it.
With my HSC trials coming up, i'll be focusing on studying in the upcoming weeks, then practicing my 4 music pieces (1 of which i've composed, not going to bother uploading it cos it's just wankery and I don't want to set-up for recording) with 4 weeks between my trials and music prac. After that, study again for the HSC.
After that finishes (late October), i'll have around a month to get something done. So, hopefully, i'll have alot more to work with then.
Going to bali from the 26th November to 5th December. It was going to be lots of drinking and clubbing, but the two people I was planning on meeting up for a period of time had to re-schedule, so I miss them completely. So, if anyone else is going to be there and wants to go surfing for 10 hours a day, leave a comment or something.

Well, I guess that's it, anything worth mentioning is there. Special kudos to 'Leviathan', who is the one and only subscriber to my blogs. Well, maybe another blog in 6 months time.
