Long story short: I got 10 days of out of school suspension for computer vandalism. I didn't do shit. I just knew some password. My dad complained so they took 7 days off. So, whatever. Things are great. Landra and I haven't been closer. We're just friends which is what amazes me. I never have had a friend like her; Even if she isn't perfect. I went to her house a few days and I helped her take pictures of our guitars in really odd positions. Whatever it's cool nowadays. Thats about it. I'll try to update more often. So check back.

Arpeggio Theory

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 23:45:52 GMT

My arpeggio theory. *I will make a version with pictures later*

Major Arpeggios (1,3,5) are easily played anywhere on the neck according to the C A G E D theory.
If we take a C form major arpeggio and play it as an F# Major arpeggio and make a double octave run then come back up, we can then connect these arpeggios with the CAGED theory. After the 1st Arpeggio is completed, if we perform a diminished 7th arpeggio(1,b3,b5,bb7) and we use a down octave run on it, it will sound perfectly melodic. Then we can repeat this with an A form arpeggio played as an F# Major arpeggio. Then, we move the diminished up one mode (ex. Ionian -> Dorian) and play the next arpeggios that F# Major can offer us (G,E,D forms). After reaching the D form we can move back to the C form and repeat the process for a repeatitive lead progression. I am writing more about this later as a huge zip file with pictures and sound clips included, for all the advanced aspects of Neo-classical guitar wizardry including: Arpeggios, Chord Progressions, Tapping and some other sweet stuff that you will have to see later. Thanks again and check back later for my next lesson on advanced arpeggio theory.

Yours Truly,
The Great Neoclassical Guitarist Mikey

In my darkest hour eh?

Fuck you guys. Everyone. I don't care anymore. My heart is no longer alive.

What's Left Inside Him?

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 04:35:52 GMT

I sit here, I think what my efforts are all about, am I in vain? Is this all for nothing. Thinking back on what has happened, all the time I spent thinking about things. I really am lonely; But what is lonely anyways? I always thought it was not having anyone around... I see now that is not what loneliness is. Loneliness is knowing you can't do anything about how things are and despite how you may try.. it seems kind of for nothing. I try to make someone's life easier... Many people's actually... and you know what I get in return? "Fuck you, you suck". Some people do not need to be in my life. I hate it. I hate how I don't have to do anything for these people because they regard me in the category of less than dirt... I feel so incredibly empty... and so lonely... I help everyone, so someone please help me. I don't want to go on like this. I am torn between what I want and what others want. Perhaps it is time I get something I want? I hope so. I need to know what to do. Spending countless hours on the guitar lets me know how it is such a deep situation even though it may not seem like it. I am saying what I want to do. I want to be with Landra, it's different around her, I can just chill out and not have to worry about anything when I'm with her. I think I deserve something every once in a while. I want to be able to talk to my mom without my step father intervening. I miss her so much... I want to be forgiven for what I have done.

On another note: I'm so fed up with Jason. I don't need to deal with some selfish, immature, love sick punk who just fucking crys all the time. I'm willing to give up what I want for this asshole. But it's never good enough for him so you know what? Fuck him. I'm doing what I want. I am not afraid of anything, And I won't be any time soon. So bring it on life you mother fucker.

We're not ready to see you yet...

I had an entry earlier, but a lot of stuff happened since then, so I'll just spit it out. Well I was improvising and I came up with something unbelievable. It clearly blew my socks off, I had no idea I was capable of the technical and harmonious framework of this opus. Anyways, James came over at like 4:30 and we jammed out to some Pantera and Metallica, but then he started talking to Ashleigh, so I went over arpeggios like 4 million times. We ate supper that my dad made, I haven't eaten a meal like that in years. It was heavenly. But, anyways we watched a Megadeth video and were in amazement of Marty's techincal abilities. So we listened to Dimmu Borgir and BLS and then we took him home, So I just back home and I'm using my new Incredible improvisational skills to create epic works of art. And I guess I'm off to do that now. Catch you later my beloved fans.
Insanely yours,
Mikey

O.S.S. Day II

Mon, 25 Apr 2005 16:32:54 GMT

Well, OSS is over with tomorrow. So I'll be sitting at home today I suppose, I think James might come over. Well anyways, I talked with Landra on the phone last night, I don't know, I seem to be back to my old self, I'm still cracking jokes and playing guitar and doing everything Mikey used to do, I don't dig being obsessed with girls. Maybe that's why I was unhappy. I guess I felt myself getting to the point where I didn't want to go away. But now all of that is better, I'm back to the old me and it's great. I had people call me up and ask me for help on their problems and stuff. I really like being able to make someone feel better by just... you know talking to them about the stupidest shit ever, and making them laugh? On a different note, I'm happy to say that my court fiasco is done and gone, 6 months of drug probation and anger management classes. I already passed one drug test, I don't really feel like typing anymore, I just want to play guitar so...
Yours Truly,
Mikey

Re-animation

Mon, 25 Apr 2005 01:15:07 GMT

I have revived my LiveJournal. I just decided to let people know about my life again, what's happened in the past is in the past. I'm a lot happier now, and I've been playing guitar an insane amount. I dont really play 'metal' or anything anymore, just the occasional Megadeth song, but mostly Neoclassical stuff, because it's the only kind of music that's difficult to play. Well, my love life is in neutral at the moment, I'm just letting things happen, Yeah, I'm into Landra a lot; It seems as if she wants to wait so I think I may exercise my freedom while it lasts. If I write seemingly meaningless musical theory garbage in here it is just to show people the new theory's I have accomplished. That's about it, I'll catch my beloved fans later.
