FRETBOARD LINES FROM TAKING GUITAR LESSONS


I have always loved playing the guitar but never got a chance as a kid. Recently the respect I have for everyone that can play the guitar tripled because taking lessons and feeling so much pain all over my left fingers is no joke. My acoustic guitar lesson instructor says there is no way around it. I still want to believe there is a better way to perfecting the musical tricks but now that am here and determined to earn the skills, my passion cannot be deterred. I wrote this poem in one of the classes.

Love is the bridge that keeps you and me together
The saddle is calibrated same way my heart reflects different shades
Like the scratch-plate, patience will protect us from scratches that show we’re getting better
You and me, in love, strumming and picking notes ordered by the pitch of platonic scales  
You didn’t want to hear what I had to say, o! it is true my dear
Yea you walked away, I stayed up all night but I couldn’t pray
Please don’t start a fight, no not today
Bringing different reasons not to ever kiss the frog, but the feeling is strong
As long as you are with me, see we will get along
Am sorry for the story of not knowing I should love you more
Let’s fix the pain, get off the train coz we’d be doing much better if we stick together
I wish that Instincts could replace the statement of the clock
Incoherent thoughts came tumbling down
Breaking lines this time won’t drag out my frown, smashing windows and crashing airplanes
Just when all the fire blazed ferociously the flood came rising and racing ravenously
Nightfall, darkness, dampened spirit, pitiful sadness
Stand tall it’s your call, too dull, no case, no witness for this court session
If maid in danger and distress gets no attention
why not stuff pounds of your flesh on sticks for the skewer
These naked flames are too corrosive, the acidic attitude is really instructive
Mother and child lose sleep when one denies the other
When you bring kolanuts in Africa it means there is no valley of the shadow of death to talk about
It is a house party stop singing the ‘walking away’ song
We will be here forever because this house is getting ready to be our home.

THANK YOU YAMAHA FOR EVERY MUSIC PERFECTION

Thinking of chords, notes, sound system and everything that has to do with the highest quality of instruments, am not going to fail in the need to appreciate the brains, creative minds and workforce of Yamaha.

Our #AnimateExpressions for the song ‘In spite of me’ by Tasha Cobbs-Leonard & Ciara

It is raining here as I write these words of #AnimateExpressions for this exceptionally relatable song by Tasha Cobbs-Leonard and Ciara. Two sisters who really poured out so much passion into this music. The track has been on replay for hours now; I don’t cross every T I don’t dot every i  Gat more flaws than a little And I messed up a thousand times I don’t always commit Sometimes I give up way too quick and then I get tired of trying to run away from who I am to who I want to be…🎶🎤 I ask myself “what are your aspirations in life”? it scares me to realize that I may never meet the minutest part of every single one of them-expectations.  My tears are mixed with the rain, my heart rending form the feeling of disappointment because, again, I have fallen back into the addictions that I keep battling for so many years. These days I wouldn’t even chose me for anything good. They say nobody can really know you as much as you do. Yes. The things I know about me are so hurtful that I would s

TRACK REVIEW: SUNSET BLUSH'S I THINK IT'S TIME

Sunset Blush makes Indie, pop, punk, rock and just about all shades of music. The very unique voice and vocal exceptionalism here is undeniable. The song “I think it’s time” opens with the something like the sound of a happy note of hope. The feeling of clam urgency gives it a poetic placement.✌   “I think it’s time to… Open the curtains …I think it’s time to hug the person right next to you …Hugging stranger’s leads to wedding bells…” This is one of the songs that show up with a reminder of the need for people all over the world to come together and realize that all it takes to move from being strangers to best of friends is a kind gesture. If you keep to yourself and I keep to myself, all we will have is a world of lonely people keeping to themselves and hiding in the shadows of their individual difficulties when the person right next to us can be all the solution we would ever need. They say procrastination steals fulfillment. It reminds me of a beautiful
