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.

THE REVIEW OF RYMSTA RAY’S DEBUT ALBUM 'RAYNAISSANCE'

                                                                      Get Album here Rymsta Ray is more than just a contemporary artist, fashionable and upwardly prolific; He is outstanding in being a Rap Music Minister who is deliberate about spearheading new things through good music and always taking performances to an exceptional echelon.     Interestingly, my first reaction to the album ‘Raynaissance’ was the need to get answers to the question on your inquisitive mind right now. What does the title of the album ‘Raynaissance’ mean?  Rymsta Ray says Raynaissance has a dual connotation; the first is an allusion to the Renaissance era, a period when there was revival of classical arts, literature and architecture in Europe. Indeed the album truly is a revival of good music. T...

This article styled #animateExpressions speaks a bit about the impact of your music to us as related in this personal experience. Imperfection is nothing but a classification that has an effect only on the minds of people who need the approval of others before they feel good about what they’ve gat, what they do and who they are. My story is one of perfection as this song fires up the perspective of always seeing and loving the ‘best’ which I know is mine. One remarkable day, the love of my life met me. That day was not particularly a red-letter day, (it was kind o...
