Hobby....
I've never got the chance to jam music with my band until this year. It was Ricky Li, from China who has this strong desire to form a band. We knew each other as neighbours since last year. Before I knew him, I heard him playing one of Beyond's "really luv you" guitar solo just next door. So I turned my amp loud enough to draw his attention...by playing the same thing as he did but of course I added some improvisions to the guitar solo just to make him feel bad. But after all, it was just for fun.. I'd no intension for being arrogant.
Last year, I didn't have the mood for jamming due to my bloody engineering courses. This year, I try to organise my best and I find a time every Sat to jam with him and John. John is a talented vocalist and I really love his voice.
Ricky has added an advertisement in Uni to find a Bassist and a Drummer. What he wrote in the advertisement is something like...
Do you have a Passion for Rock? Do you have a Dream to form a Band?
We currently consist of 3 members(John=Vocalist, Ricky=Rhytim, and Henry=Lead guitar)
- John is a very talented vocalist and has a handsome face...he has both great criterias for a vocalist.
- Ricky has been playing for 4 years and is very enthusiastic and confident with his guitar playing.
And I dont think I should continue writing about mine cause it may sound embarassing. Somehow, I think the advertisement is a little bit funny.
I admire Ricky for his strong desire in forming a band..He even composed some songs. As for me, I think I'm just jamming for fun..
How I communicate with them is rather interesting. Thank God I didn't have any hard time for communication. They seem to show interests in sharing talks with me despite my lousy non-standard mandarin. If I can't understand some really hard chinese terms they are talking about, they would use English instead..or to a funnier extent, they rely on the electronic dictionary to translate difficult chinese to english for me.
I really like those guys. We have really similar interests for Rock. But I also like some Jazz,Pop, Ballad and some Folk/Country songs.
