August Rush, no, Robin Williams i meant

 this post is dedicated to my inspiration and my idol Robin Williams.what inspires me beside guitar are movies and actors. somehow the stage performance is related to film acting. every each of learning and guitar exercising are elements of our stage act. you need to read the scripts, practice them, and act them naturally as the story need. you will see some great virtuosos are similar to Oscar winner actors such like Robin Williams. it’s a sad news came couple hours ago, Robin Williams died at age 63. He is my favorite actor and comedian. i laughed at every of his jokes and get fascinated to his acts. name them, the hilarious Jumanji to the cold-blood killer Insomnia.

so there’s August Rush. there are scenes those made me feel deeper fans-to-idol connection with him. he and his appearance, holding guitar, somehow made me me give him a big respect as guitarist. his play is totally hypnotized me. it’s like “he’s the one who love guitars deeply” while i’ve never seen him performing musical instruments as musician. but it’s just like he could play it good.

his appearance was a totally Bono U2 for me. and that was so GREAT because I’m a big fan of U2. even for non comedy movie, Robin Williams never lost his taste of humor and sensibility as a man who can read the audiences’ mind and make a great jokes about it.

it is a great lost for me. i knew some post noted Robin Williams Found Dead From Apparent Suicide and it made me sad.

His wife, Susan Schneider said:
 “This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin’s death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions.”

see you in the next life mr. Robin McLaurin Williams (July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014), Rest in Peace

steve vai, sexy june six

what i got for you in June is the sexy guitarist Mr. Steve Vai. I’m not the biggest fan of him, but his work put him between my notable guitarists top list with all my respect. born in June 6 1960, Steven Siro Vai began his guitar learning at the age of 13 and took guitar lesson from Joe Satriani in 1974. he met some notable virtuosos and musicians where those moments were his vital parts in his own great work and stylish guitar playing.

“I enjoy challenging myself to come up with new ideas that I believe are unique.” – steve vai

Vai started his recording career in 1980 playing with Frank Zappa and has since recorded and toured with Alcatrazz, Whitesnake, David Lee Roth and Public Image Ltd. Since 1983 Vai also released his own studio albums. His discography consists of eight studio albums, two EP’s, two special albums, eight live albums, twelve soundtracks, twenty compilation albums and seven videos. Vai has been awarded three Grammy Awards and forty other awards. Vai also appeared as a guest musician on forty-four albums, playing with artists like Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne and Gregg Bissonette and most recently for the second time with Joe Jackson.

his creative use of the floating vibrato is possibly the most thing people acknowledged by. and he’s best at it. melodic parts he used create odd-futuristic style, yet he likes to mimicking human voices and other unusual sound. i think that kind of style which makes him as an ibanez guy. his signature Ibanez JEM guitar series clearly said that.

one interesting thing is that he is a vegetarian and says a great thing about it:

It has affected my music in a way I believe that what we put in our bodies has a reflection on the way we think. And the way we think has a reflection on what we create. So I can’t tell you consciously how being a vegetarian affected my music but I’m sure it has. I think everyone has to find what’s right for them. I don’t judge anybody for what they eat. That’s their world and everybody has to find what resonates with them.

ever wonder how it tastes? go ask steve vai

well, honestly i knew this guy as one of G3 at first, then the next thing i know is that this guy is one of a kind, so far..
great man. happy birthday sir
