Pentatonic Power

Here’s Bobby McFerrin
demonstrating the Pentatonic Scale.

The reason I shared this with you is because
it is the only scale I know on the fretboard.

And because of its power,
I am able to bullshit my way around a song.
I am serious.

Okay, I lied.
I also know the Major Scale.

Which doesn’t really mean much since,
everyone knows the Major Scale.
(Do re mi fa so la … and so on.)

I learned that from the Sound of Music.
That and Nuns are hot!

Back by popular demand.

One more time!

With special guest on Rhythm Guitars.
My friend, Maita.

Another Original Philippine Music,
by N. Gallardo and
sung by Celeste Legaspi.

Saranggola ni Pepe

Rhythm Guitars : Maita Toral
Lead Guitar : Ty Martell

Maita did very well on Guitars,
and I supplied the melody again.

This has been a really fun project.
Not just because it was fun,
But it also saved me a lot of time from playing all the other instruments.
My laziness is not a secret here.

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as we did.

PS – The song title, translated in English means “Pepe’s Kite”
I just don’t know what the name Pepe’s counterpart in English is.
Can anyone help?

Whom Do You Trust? “Part 2”

Who do you trust?

Not Me.

Well first,
let me tell you,
that today in the U.K.,
two dozen individuals were arrested,
suspected of plotting terror attacks in the U.S.

So the country is on high alert.
And everybody is in a very tense mood.

So I went to work today,
and as my usual routine,
I always put my food in the fridge,
before I clock in.

But, as I open the fridge door,
the security alarm blared louder than a fire truck siren.
Blasting my eardrums like I was in a KISS concert.

Apparently, I was the first one there,
and I triggered the alarm.

And I was not given any codes to disarm the freakin’ thing.

Geetooth Cryth!

I didn’t know if I was going to run,
or just stay where I was and not move.

I had to make a decision.

I left.

Probably not the best decision,
but my ears were hurting.

Although, my brother suggested I should have stayed
and dropped to my knees, like I was praying.
I didn’t think that was a good idea either,
but he said, he just wanted to see me on the news.

Anyway.
Luckily, there were a couple of my co-workers
down at the parking lot.

I told them, I triggered the alarm,
and I didn’t have a code.
They were very nice, and disarmed it
and told me not to worry.

But here comes the law.
The county sheriffs came to check the place out.
And for some reason,
as they walk around the office,
they seem to know it was me who did it.

They were looking at me,
like, I stole their morning breakfast.

They were not happy.
Plus given the fact that the country is on high red alert,
I didn’t think they were in any mood to check out false alarms.

What a way to start the day.
It feels like I have been officially initiated.

Although I must say,
I was not trying to impress the boss by showing up early.
I am not the “eager beaver” guy who couldn’t wait to start the work day.

I just want my food to stay fresh,
and my yogurt not to melt.

In conclusion,
There are only two things that got stuck in my brain today.

First,
I can’t be trusted.

And second,
I owe those cops some donuts.

Music formats

E = MC2 —-> E = MP3

I removed both “WMA” and “RA” formats for the songs.
I don’t see the point of keeping them anymore.
They are just taking up space.

Plus, I believe most Audio softwares are capable of playing MP3’s anyway.
I just put the other two formats for the dial-up users, since they are smaller.
And I feel bad for them to have to wait.

But then I figured,
being a dial-up user is being used to waiting anyway.
(Oh man, I know one friend who is on dial-up, and I ‘m sure I’m gonna hear it now.)

But hey!
If I can wait hours to download other files on dial up,
( ie… software patches, pdf forms, norp .. etc)
I can wait for one mp3 file.

So anyway,
if anyone prefers the songs in the other two formats,
let me know and I’ll post it back.
(Yeah, like anybody reads and listens to this crap.)

But, I know everyone likes to waste some time,
so here are some cool links.

Enjoy!
