My callouses give up by the time I hit
four hours of playing.
But if I’m a little emotional,
they give out by the 2nd song.
Can we do a hashtag?
No?
Never mind then.
This is an old favourite, of course.
I did this way back in… I can’t even remember.
All I can recall was that
I was so surprised that I was able to do it.
Also I was feeling all the Guitar notes at the end.
That’s one thing about me playing.
The notes I hit comes from how I feel that day,
at that particular moment.
I can never repeat them.
If I want to play it exactly the way I recorded it,
I have to study it.
Which in effect, loses its feeling for me.
I don’t like forcing the music to come out of me.
I don’t like to beg for it either.
Whatever needs to come out, will come out.
Much like when I eat this third bag of chips
It’s going to come out soon enough.

In the past year or so
things haven’t been going well
with me and my family, personally.
In times like these,
I am confident enough to say that
I have treated these challenges as an adult.
Facing them as rational as I can,
and with my faith as my guide.
I think I have been doing good so far.
But today, I am not too sure.
Today is a different day.
Today I actually started to question
the existence of God.
I shouldn’t, you say?
Don’t worry.
If He does exist,
I’m pretty sure one Supreme Being can handle
one Human Being’s anger towards Him.
Can I call it “Tuesday Tunes by Ty?”
Is it better?
No?
Never mind then.
Anyway,
I’m still kinda working on a song
so I don’t have any new ones here.
But, let’s stroll down memory lane
and revisit this old one I covered.
Just so you know,
Early 90’s Rock had a lot of influence on my music upbringing.
I am a child of the 80’s and I listened to a lot of music then,
but most of the stuff I play came a decade later.
Here’s an old favorite of mine,
Cama de Rosas! by Juan Bongiovi
Hope you’ll like it.
I need to learn to pour my soul into songs and make an album. Instead of baring it all to a person. #music

How about we do an old Philippine Classic Music.
This one is from one of The Philippines’ great Folk/Rock artists.
And definitely one of my greatest influences, Mr. Freddie Aguilar.
This one is called “Himig.”
One of my favorites, for sure.
I always thought that the music he did here was brilliant, yet haunting.
It’s very fun to play, yet there’s a sad tone to it.
It’s a Tagalog song, so I guess
we’re just going to ask Google to translate it for us.
I also discovered how to make the side by side effects on iMovie,
and I am starting to experiment more on what else we could do on it.
Be easy with me.

Yeah.
I feel like this most of the day.
What?
I’m passionate about music.
I’m a passionate kind of guy.
I should have added another “really” in there
to convince people.
But Twitter won’t let me.
