Guitar Exam

Monday, July 24, 2006

the guitar exam was awesome! haha.. had a great time.. haha..

but i was really puzzled why my name was the first on the list.. cause all my life.. i expect i'll be placed at one of the last few.. cause my surname start with 'Y'. so usually those with 'A' will start first rite..

but i not sure why my name was the first on the list...

oh well.. i still go ahead with the exam. there is two instructors, john and another person.. sat in front of me. then i sit alone.. and 3 more of my classmates will sit at the back.. okay.. i'm facing this alone.. woah... cool.. haha..

i can't remember that person's name. .think is edwin ba.. he asked me quite a few questions.. about how to do relative tuning.. and some of the chords.. haha.. thank God he didn't ask a lot.. haha..

then we start with the mock cell group. then it was really challenging.. cause i know my barre chords was a killer.. haha.. and they choose this song that has more barre chords.. but at least this song i'm more familiar.. haha.. then during the first verse.. i saw john signal two. i was wondering how come so fast go to chorus.. then i thought that pre-chorus is two.. then i played pre chorus.. haha.. then after that he signal two again.. i was shocked. then i played pre chorus again and they start to sing chorus.. oh man! haha.. had a difficult time trying to catch back the song. .haha.. my barre chords still very weak lei.. really jia lat.. haha..

then after the praise.. is the worship.. haha.. i really give my whole heart to play this song.. i know that my praise song is really jia lat.. my worship song couldn't perform as bad..

really treated this as my own worshipping the Lord.. haha.. really enjoyed it..

after playing the song.. i was feeling like 'woah!' finally over eh... haha.. then after that edwin ask me to do the moderate worship strumming.. cause i didn't use this strumming pattern.. haha.. thank God that i rehearse that 10 sec earlier.. haha..

he commented that the overall is good.. but really need to practise barre chords and i can afford to play louder.. haha.. that was really encouraging.. haha..

then the next few just go in front one by one.. when i was sitting there.. i felt i'm so blessed to be first one.. haha.. really so blessed.. cause thinking back.. the first one really don't have much stress.. when you are the last few of the queue.. you know how others played.. additional stress will be upon them.. haha.. thank God for this wonderful arrangement.. haha..

after my group (first half of the class) have finish.. we asked the next group to come in. .haha.. then we sit outside.. and wynstan taught plucking.. woah.. is quite diffiult eh.. although sound easy.. but really difficult to coodinate and be able to aim correctly at the strings.. haha..

but i'm determined to learn it.. really want to play good songs for God.. hee..

after the next group have finish their tests.. we went in and john have a final briefing with us.. haha.. we all prayed together.. and after the lesson.. we took pictures together..

here's the pic.. hee. this is the beginner's guitar class.. hee.. all the beloved classmates and john is squating right in front.. really a big thank you to all of them.. haha.. these 10 weeks was really a wonderful experience... haha.. and of course.. never forget wynstan.. the one who sacrifice himself to take this pic for all of us.. haha.. he's also awesome.. haha..

thank God for this opportunity to be able to learn guitar for him.. thinking back.. God really changed my thinking towards guitar all these years.. still remember last time i really don't like guitar.. i always felt that guitar was very ugly... and i told myself i will never pick up guitar.. haha.. and now i just graduated from guitar class.. strange rite.. haha.. God really change people.. haha..

i not sure whether i pass the test or not.. no matter what.. i'm still gonna continue to learn guitar to shine for the Lord!
