jamming session
i missed the jamming sessions though i only jammed twice with my current band.
the first time jamming with them was fun and it was 3 months back. i was the 3rd guitarist aka back up vocal,and er..aka the manager of band. i gathered the rest of members of whom i know together. and each of them have their own skills and are not bad.
first jamming was at LCube. it was noisy. everybody was excited about it. took 1 hour to tune guitar and drums, argh, cuz we are beginners, cannnot blame ar. sang cassis and D.L.N. the female vocalist does not know the D.L.N song, so i took over and sang. i was veri hyper and happy, cuz i finally get the chance to sing along with the band members playing.
the drummer, bassist, 2 guitarists get along quite well, which was out of my expectation(all of them are guys except vox and me). it turned out tt bassist knew e 2 guitarists already. and he and I had the same intention of askin the same guitarist to join us. but it turned out tt he also called in another guitarist whom i didn't thought of. so i became e 3rd guitarist aka back up vocal. cuz e vox has a high pitch voice, while mine is low .
den the guys started to play freestyle. e drummer and bassist can get along and haf e chemistry in playin e music together. and they only got to meet each other for the first time only! den they played L`arc En ciel song, "Ready Steady Go!" the 2 guitarists does not know how to play tis song, but upon only hearing e drums n bass part, in an instant, i recognize e song, and i sang along. it feels great! woah! yeah! baby! cooool ! kewl!!
suddenly, i dunno wad happen the rhythm guitarist joined in, and they played heavy metal style. my ears pricked up in an instant, and i said, "wah! heavy metal ahr? siao ah?hmmmm...' i hesitated , den i compose the music on the spot, by singing randomly. sang english lyrics, but it was mixture, random lyrics tt i could think of. haha. den i growled low which u often hear in metal music. i can growl a bit la. it was fun doin tt! hahahaha! den e lead guitarist joined in growling with me, after he hear me sing. we had fun doin tt! hahahahah! apparently, e female vox sittin on e floor does not like metal music, but is a hardcore fan of Jrock music.
all e way she was sittin on the floor , lookin through my official score book and her lyrics. i tried to get her interact with us, but it seems tt she does not want to join in. siannn.
e rhythm guitarist keeps playing guitar part solo, so does e lead guitarist. both of them are quite good. i only a beginner at guitar, still practicing hard. yesterday, finally can tried to sing the chorus part of 'cassis' and strum while singing, and e part where Ruki sing and strum together(after Uruha's guitar solo).
upon the thought of being e 3rd guitarist aka back up vox, makes me feel uneasy and demoralized. but the drummer kept consoling me and tried to persuade me tt my role is impt too. and there are Jrock bands in japan which also haf 3 guitarists. hmm.
few wks after the 1st jamming, the guys feedback to me tt they do not want the female vox, and want me to be the vox instead. i was both happy and sad! sad tt we haf to kick her out of band. happy tt i became e vox.
after discussions, it was concluded tt though e vox can sing, but:
- prob lies wif her character, thinkin
- she onli wants to sing and not learn any instrument
- don't like to interact wif e others.
e guys want me to be e vox, due to followin reasons:
- cheerful, can control the atmosphere of the audience (impt esp when doin lives at concert)
- can control voice volume (i think is bcuz i got a loud voice bah)
- thinkin ( i wan to learn to sing and play guitar at e same time. coool! self challenge!)
hmm. anywae, i hope tt she can find a grp to join which she likes.
gtg. nitez.
