Only One.

Tuesday, June 30, 2009
One of the greatest music icon, Michael Jackson died few days ago due to cardiac arrest. It's a sad news for the music industry. I love his music and the musicality in him - inspiring music and words.

There is only on Michael Jackson.

As a guitar player. I so love the guitar parts on his songs -- BEAT IT, which Eddie Van Halen played solo to and other songs with Slash, Jennifer Batter, Greg Howe, etc.

His contributions were so huge that everyone all over the world I think knows him.

It's the start of MJ's legend. His music will live forever.

Everyday Passion...

The First Time I Ever.....

Sunday, June 28, 2009
I had the privilege to teach some young people playing guitar. It's my first time teaching music formally but I loved what I did. I am not a "teacher" type of guy, but I somehow liked it. I really think that doing what you really love is so fulfilling, the fee is just a bonus.

It's amazing to see how the young people attentively listens to me the moment I started sharing my knowledge. The smile on their faces and their desire to learn the guitar pumped me up! The session last longer than what I expected. I thought I couldn't maximize the time that was given to me.

After the session, I jammed with the other teachers. We played some stuff and solo over it. All I can say is that they are all amazing. Promise.

Jam Sessions with Annie H.

Saturday, June 27, 2009
Just got home. This morning, I had the chance to jam with Annie, a churchmate/friend at Binondo AG. It's been a long time since I jammed with her. It's her first time singing again after a long time but the "voice" is still there. We did Constantly, the Nina version. I played guitar for her.

Here's our recorded jam session.. Take time to listen to it:) Thanks!

A little something from Blue Moon

Friday, June 26, 2009


Hello guys, Franz here. I'm working out on a song Blue Moon, the Tommy Emmanuel version. It's so cool! Actually, I haven't done 1/4 of the song. I hope I could finish this. If that happens, this is my first Tommy E. song that I've learn to play. Good luck to me.

The video is a small part of the song. Hope you like it:)

God bless!

Listen!

Franz here.

It's 3:10 AM now. The weather is cold, but not freezing. I'm now listening to Corinne Bailey Rae on my PC. I just love her music. Fantastic! She's a great artist, songwriter, musician, plus she is pretty too. Another influence added on my arsenal. I am loving it!

Slight change!

Good morning. We have just transferred to a new facebook fansite, which is specifically for bands. Sorry for the inconvenience!:) Thanks for adding us up again!

God bless!

Everything I Need, the draft demo

Good evening guys. We had just finished recording a demo of the song Everything I Need with Prince on vocals. The audio is kinda "Hissy" but it's tolerable. I hope you take time to listen to it. We need your feedbacks. It will be much appreciated.

We will record this song properly soon and post it on Youtube.

Anyways, I used my new Yamaha FG-160 to on this track. You wouldn't hear it's pure tone on this audio track 'cause we just used a crappy microphone.

The guitar is great. Old but very very good. It's a 70's guitar. Produced by Yamaha Japan. Great tone. I hope to record it better next time.

God bless!

Great Day

Wednesday, June 24, 2009
Good day bloggers. Franz here. The news forecast stated that heavy rains will pour today because of the typhoon that will hit Manila. Thank God it's not what I expected it to be.

Here's some things I'll be doing today. I will meet Brznf this afternoon to get a new acoustic guitar. It's a vintage Yamaha FG-160! We got it cheap! I hope it's doing well. The seller texted us that it has no problems whatsoever and it has a very low action. That's what I'm looking for in an acoustic guitar. User friendly.:)

After this, we'll be meeting Prince to teach him the new songs I made. It will not take long. We'll just run through and brainstorm stuffs. I hope it'll turn out well.

Have a blessed day! God bless.

Writing Stuffs

Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Hello everyone. This is Franz, Yesu's guitarist. I'm currently working out on an original composition for our band. It's my first time to be in an acoustic band and I'm so excited to contribute to the group. This is my first composition for the band and I'm kinda liking it.

The track below is the draft mp3 of the song I just made. It doesn't have a title yet. I will meet up with the band for us to brainstorm some stuffs that will help it to be more interesting. IT'S JUST A DRAFT so don't expect much.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE! Yes! Yes! Yesu!

P.S. I'm the one singing on the track so forgive me if I ain't talented as Prince. Hehe. I can't wait to let him sing it.

Here's the lyrics by the way.

UNTITLED SONG

Light on my feet and lamp unto my path
That's who you are to me
There's nothin' like the way you show me how
You love me like you do

with all my heart i give my praise to you
for all you've done for me
There's nothin like the way you show me how
You love me like you do

and when the mountains come my way
you help me climb until i reach the top
you are everything i need
you are everything i need

youre everything i need
youre everything i wanted now

You are my way my truth i live for you
I give my all to you
For you deserve my praises and i sing
to you alone my god
to you alone my god

and when the mountains come my way
you help me climb until i reach the top
you are everything i need
you are everything i need

youre everything i need
youre everything i wanted now
