Superband 2008 - Sen Lin Tie (森林帖)

Why do you need two guitarists for what you do?

Your singer is really good. Everyone else is poor compared to him - sorry to say so. At least you've got something good going for you.

The two guitarists seem to be having a good time playing simple stuff while the singer is going at it! At least one of you (guitarists) has to have some cajones to do somthing really creative to help the band to stand out.

I be very honest with you and I have to say that I am amazed that you even made this this far. Then again, perhaps your singer has dragged you along for the ride. I haven't checked out the other bands but please have more faith in yourself, anything less is self defeating.

You have to believe in yourself. Know what you want to do. It may not happen today or tommorow. But you must know what you want to achieve and BELIEVE in it. Then go for it.

The way it is now - it looks like you are only going through the motions and doing VERY simple stuff.

You gotta do better.
 
Hi RoRk,

Thanks for the comments. We'll try to be more creative in what we're doing; thanks.

Rgds,
Newbie
 
Simple stuff can be good! Smoke On The Water? Highway to Hell? All The Small Things? The Reason?

Simple stuff is hard to do effectively and well!
 
this is getting really interesting! judging from the song list

Let's do blues again sometime haha!

PS: Must guide the newbie please; much to learn !
 
Good Stuff! About 5-8 times better than the previous video you showed!

What happened to the other guitarist?

Glaring poor was that the bassist was way off when he sang. Solo was pretty good but as you know, can still be improved. Also I wouldn't stray away from the singer that far during your solos. I would have preferred if you were closer to him when you solo. It looks like the two of you are carrying the band - might as well stick closer together - good for the audience and your fans. Peeps will enjoy more if they see you having a good time together, especially with an upbeat song like this.

But for slow songs, please donch get too close together ah. :D

And song ending should be better - must have more oomph, musically and visually.

Good luck!

Hey RoRk,

Thanks for the kind comments.

Desmond (Previous bassist) dropped out due to work commitments. Now the band is 4-piece.

Yeah, will take note of that during solos. Haha slow song get together ah, man that'll be a scene! Haha, again thanks for the kind words.

We'll continue to work on upcoming performances. We'll be playing again on 7th of July. Hope everyone can show some support! Cheers!

PS: Program is Channel U Superband (Every Monday 8 - 9PM)

Cheers!

Rgds,
Newbie

Me thinks that's a disguised blessing. It'll free you - actually allow you the freedom to do more.

Just a tip, if you donch mind - look into opening up your right-hand, the palm, when you play. Since you use a pick, opening up your palm a little, frees up at least your middle finger and your fourth finger to hit extra notes.

This way, you gotch your pick (for chugga parts) and two other fingers to hit the strings with when you donch chugga. The extra fingers will allow you to better colour/texturize your songs.

It'll also 'force' you into looking for extended chords and/or 'more interesting' chord shapes that will allow you to use these two 'extra' fingers. This tip will come in handy for slower songs which donch require chugga but will need more finesse (colour/texture) from you and finesse comes mostly from your right-hand.

This one from the School of RoRK! :-D

HTH & Good Luck!
