HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR @ Club Quattro Shibuya by Vale

Today after an afternoon of pretending to practice the songs (it wasn't going nowhere as well as i wanted to, though i can play most of it, just mess up the rhythm all the time, and considering i'd be the rhythm guitar, that's quite troublesome), having a really filling lunch and watching the seventh episode of the fourth Skins season, which i must tell you all, is very shocking, like very, but i'm not ms Scoledario (i was surprised that she dated O'Connell irl as well) to spoil everyone, you should just watch it, so after all this, i hurried off for Shibuya. I didn't know where that Club Quattro was, but after finding it, i realised i've been in that building (although in the bookstore of the first floors) earlier.
This was my second High and Mighty Color concert. Since the last time, i got to know more of their songs, so in the roughly ninety minutes they played tonight, there was hardly a song i didn't know. The show was great, the setlist was very powerful with a bunch of new songs, according to band members some songs having been written just for this gig. Of course they played their greatest hits (Pride, Ichirin no hana), and some that are not so much of popular hits, but are closer to me. The atmosphere was good as well, lots of jokes and laughs, which with the music, made this show what it was: great.
One thing that surprised me a lot was that both guitarists played on seven-stringed guitars. I hope they have transcribed for six-strings as well.

Going to sleep by Vale

Is difficult to schedule well. Again it's three in the morning, and i'm pretty sure i won't be sleeping before four. Although, in exchange, i'll just let myself snore on until ten or eleven. Then guitar, guitar and guitar, concentrating as much as i can. Now in the evening i tried to play Iron Maiden's masterpiece Fear of the Dark and it turned out much better than i thought it would. Also, tomorrow is the High and Mighty Color gig in Shibuya, and maybe i won't be going alone. Then sunday is more or less the same, church in the morning, guitar all day, then the AC/DC in the evening. Monday again, wake up, guitar, then go to the practice place and more guitar.
Pretty simple, isn't it? Anyway, today we played a bit of dota, and i got badly owned. To be exact, due to unforeseen circumstances, our team deemed unable to achieve victory. But at least i managed to get a nice build for my phantom lancer: Manta, Aghanim's, Heart, and i was heading to get the Eaglehorn for my Butterfly when i had to rush home just to be late catching an enemy hero destroy our ancient. My demon witch was good as well, but the bounty hunter could counter me way too efficiently.
In the meanwhile, trying to consume as little coffee and yet stay as active as possible. And blog enough. (Also, just cut a new avatar, does it count as spoiler? I'm not saying where it's from, because then it would be.)

Költök by Vale

Nem verset (mostanában), csak pénzt. Ma történetesen elég sokat. Délután se jött semmi jelzés Hirotól, úgyhogy gondoltam megsürgetem kicsit, de se ma se holnap nem ért rá, úgyhogy gyorsan neki is indultam, út közben csatlakozott Olga, és megvettem életem első elektromos gitárját. Meg erősítőjét. Meg a mellékes kütyüket (pánt, hangoló). A gitár Epiphone G-400, fehér. Az erősítő Line-6 Spider IV 15 (a 15 a watt teljesítményre utal, ha jól sejtem). A hangoló működik, ennek örömére kizengettem egy F akkordot, de csak azt, bár max hangerőn, de pont ezért, meg mivel fél tizenkettő volt, mire hazaértem igazán. Ehhez képest egész jó hogy háromkor már aludni térek. Ők azok, rendetlenséget nem nézni.

Just 15 minutes by Vale

I'm going off again, or stopping, or going on withdrawal (tamper-off?) or however you say it, the point is i'll be restricting my coffee consumption a lot in the coming days. It's no use anymore, meaning my body got used to larger amounts as well. (Also apparent from the constant coffee smell around me that even i realise.) And still, i need fifteen minutes of rest in the evening, no matter.
Fifteen minutes is roughly the three songs that 42 to the infinite power (42の無限乗) will perform when time's due. Although my part is only two, i'm doing all i can this coming seven days so that it'll be perfect. After all, 42 is the meaning of life, the universe and everything, so its infinite power is, well… to quote dota: GODLIKE. Not easy, but especially if i finally buy a guitar, i'll be able to practice a lot, not to mention without disturbing the people living around me (electric, headphones, and so on, get the connection). Since that's most probably tomorrow, i have high hopes. True, this weekend's evenings will be off, due to concerts (not mine, just attending), but i'll be working that harder in daytime.
Fifteen minutes is roughly how much it takes for me to complete a round in the gym. The machines are packed in the center of the gym, so it's possible to go on in a circle, from one to another. Three rounds are the most i ever tried, nowadays even two can kill me pretty much. I'll see in half an hour how much i can do today.

Amit by Vale

Holnap-holnapután veszek gitárt. Hiro fölajánlotta, hogy velem tart, úgyhogy teljesen ócskát már biztos nem veszek. A koli és a költözés olcsósága miatt telik rá. Ha meglesz (addig meg klasszikuson), tanulom folyamatosan a két ballagási dalt, a Yellt (Ikimono Gakari) és a Sangatsu kokonokát (Remioromen) – gondolom egyértelmű, hogy nem én választottam őket. Az utóbbi már nagyjából megy, csak elektromoson még mindig elég véletlenszerűen sikerül eltalálni az akkordokat – ezért is lenne fontos, hogy hétvégére már legyen elektromosom. Az előbbiből csak a refrént tudom még ritmusra úgy-ahogy hibátlanul eljátszani, de csak mert egyszerű. A többi viszont tele van az ötödik frettől kezdődő idétlen akkordokkal (kedvencem a Bbmaj7 és az AonC#) – sajnos nem tudom capoval játszani, mert a refrén gyorsan kezdődik, abban meg kellenének az 0-4 fretek is (a szólógitárral lehet, mákos feje, pedig még jobban is gitározik mint én, mármint a srác aki azt játssza) – és mivel így teljesen új fogásokat kell szokni, nem megy még. Ezen (gitáron) kívül csak kondiba fogok még kétszer (vagy háromszor, közérzettől függően) lemenni, a tegnapi eléggé kinyírt, mégis alig fájok valahol (az gáz, hogy negyven kilóval a rúd még azzal a szivaccsal is kidörzsöli a vállam). A hajmosás utáni helyre-horgolás folyamatban. Holnap egész nap próba. Alig várom. Valamint tervezek sok (sok) zenés bejegyzést írni.
