Wow

So anyway, there I was, putting up a quick post about the death of Ronnie James Dio, just figured I'd throw up what was on his official site. Looked at the numbers five minutes ago, guess what I see?

130 visits. Shit.

Message from Wendy Dio

From his official website:

Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever.

- Wendy Dio

FINALly

My college days are over! I had my last final this evening, and now I have some time to myself again. On my "list" is work on more of my stuff, try to tackle the "Flirtin' With Disaster" solo, and put "Steven Wells" up for Playtest.

In other news, one of the tips I sent to RockBandAide made it on the front page.

In other other news, I guess I'll be using Twitter a bit more now.

Now For Your Reading Pleasure

1. Licks I Love

From Flirtin' With Disaster (workin' on the solo after finals):

B-------------5-5--4-4--3-3--2-2-------------------------------
G---------4--4-4---4-4-2-2--2-2---4---------------------------
D-----4h6---------------------------4---------4-6p4----4--------
A-4h6-------------------------------2----4h6---------6---------
E-------------------------------------------------------------7---

What I love is how if you do it right, it will feel very natural (save for that last note). Start with the index on the fourth fret, and hammer on with the ring finger. Then play the next part using only your first two fingers. Return to the base position with the index on the fourth fret.

2. It's summer, kids! You know what that means, right? MUSIC FESTIVALS!!

3. Shit, I guess I didn't have that much to write about after- OH SHIT GREEN DAY: ROCK BAND STUFF!!!

4. Right, so other than that I don't have a whole lot. Just winding down for finals. I'm going to try to record some stuff over the weekend, but it's so hard to practice when the pressure kind of just, drains you. One thing I try to do is a couple exercises from GuitarCardio a day.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR GUITAAAAAAR?

FINAL COUNTDOWN

Yeah, it's finals time, I just figured I'd fire off a quick one at 1 AM Wednesday, and try to whip something up bigger while I work on my project. What is it about?
