How To Sing And Play Guitar At The Same Time
Listen. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can pat my head and rub my belly at the same time.
But as I’ve started to try and sing along while practicing “About A Girl,” I end up feeling like an incompetent idiot! It’s hard.
One of my consultants for this project told me… [...]
About A Girl - Nirvana Unplugged
One of my favorite songs by Nirvana is “About A Girl.”
My bro just bought me the “Nirvana Unplugged” DVD and that’s the first song they play. (I’ve mentioned before that a tape of “Nirvana Unplugged” is essentially what inspired me to become a rock star.)
He also thought it would be a good first song for me [...]
Dreaming About Hillary Duff
The other day I woke up after dreaming about Hillary Duff. Honestly, I don’t know why. She’s good looking and everything, but I barely know who she is.
So I looked her up on the Youtube and found this.

Losing The Beer Belly… New Strategy For Guitar Practice…
OK, first things first. I listened to Tyler Fortier’s album more today, and liked it even more. It’s good. Get it.
Second thing. If I’m going to be a rock star, I think I should lose my beer belly. Beer belly’s just aren’t that cool. I mean, they’re kinda cool to play with when they’re your own. [...]
Changes To Be Made On The Guitar… And Can I Sing…
I got Tyler Fortier’s CD in the mail yesterday. I like it so far but have only listened to it once through. I’ve met Tyler a couple times… I know one of the girls who sings on the album a little better. But in any case, I hope to get some of his advice when [...]
Terrible Dialogue And Terrible Lyrics Go Hand In Hand
Speaking of shitty lyrics… I’ve studied screenwriting a bit, which is writing scripts for movies. I watched “Another 48 Hours” the other night, and it had some terrible, terrible dialogue from the villains.
(And the main villain’s secret identity was completely obvious! There was no other reason for him to be in the movie, always a [...]
How To Become A Rockstar… More Instructions
I found more instructions on how to become a rock star. So far I’ve completed 3 of 5 steps. I don’t think this set of instructions is as in-depth as I’ll need, but they have some good points.
I really liked one of the tips in the sidebar that suggested I start selling my autograph on eBay. [...]
Advice From Yahoo On Becoming A Rockstar
I was just searching on Yahoo! answers for tips on becoming a rock star. (I just noticed how weird the word “answers” is spelled…)
I just searched for “How To Become A Rock Star.”
Anyway, there were some good tips. But my favorite response was from this thread:
“Do or do not, there is no try.” -Yoda
There ya [...]
