but also the start of (including but not limited to):
- blogging
- tabbing / transcribing & arranging
- life at NTU
Gotta admit I already have so many things to look forward to in 2016! :)
Hello! Finals have just ended and now I should have more time to spend updating my blog (yeay!)
So there's already a list of things I want to accomplish by the end of 2015, one of which is to upload a YouTube video for fun :)
Oh and yes, I accomplished that one already (even though it's a sample for an upcoming arrangement of ONE PUNCH MAN opening song xD). Here it is.
Links to the tabs are available in the video description.
Well actually I just realized that I have forgotten so many songs I used to be able to play and it just feels like a bummer to relearn all those songs again. Let's just hope these videos will serve as good memory joggers :P
The amazing cover art is drawn by my friend KarinPyong. She's such an awesome artist with her own unique style, check out her work at karinpyong.deviantart.com! :D
Tab for Sungha Jung's original song "Rainy Day", arranged by Sungha himself! PDF: https://goo.gl/zEeUbu GuitarPro: https://goo.gl/9APnf1
Someone posted my tab on songsterr without my permission ^^"
It's been raining the past few days and this song's melody is just so nice. Moreover, this is my personal record: tab finished after the video is up for 4 hours! (yeah! :3)
UPDATE: 400+ downloads in 1 day! Woohoo talk about speed! :D
This OST sounds so cool - an amazing song to add to your repertoire ;)
Everyone says Attack on Titan is extremely good but I don't have the courage to watch it hahaha :P
I have to assure you that Eddie really cares about the quality of his content; every song I tab has been checked and corrected by him thoroughly, not missing one single note at all.

Hey! It's been a while since I posted a non-guitarist safe post :P
Now I'm going to share two things you ought to know, and these (should) work everywhere.
I'll just copy and paste the first one because I'm saving my energy hahaha xD
1. How to distinguish a real mirrorfrom a 2-way mirror (i.e. they can see you, but you can't see them)? > especially in toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc.
Conduct this simple test:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if
there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then
it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! If there is 'NO SPACE, LEAVE THE PLACE'
But this is not 100% accurate. Here's a better trick.
Light up the mirror with a flashlight (phone flashlights are okay). If it's a 2-way mirror, you'll be able to see the other side.
Moving onto the next one!
2. How to distinguish real ice creamfrom fake ice cream? > this is based on my experience with no research whatsoever beforehand so it might be wrong :P
I don't know whether it should be real/fake ice cream or premium/standard ice cream or yummy/yucky ice cream but whatever it is, I'll just use real and fake because... they both only have one syllable? ._. I'm no food expert and I mostly eat food given to me but here's a thing I noticed.
What I'd call a real ice cream is the ice cream that will stay cold after it's inside your mouth. I'm guessing because it contains more milk so the cold stays cold when it's in the mouth. Fake ice cream, on the other hand, is cold in room temperature, but when it gets into your mouth, the 'coldness' will just disappear... and it feels warm inside your mouth. And it leaves some sticky feeling on the teeth and tongue too. I'm guessing that's because it's made out of freezed cream. Like, cream. Not fresh milk.
Then again, the second one is just a postulate. That's why I often joke about eating a popular local ice cream brand but never actually eat them for a second time (because it falls into my 'fake ice cream' category) :D
Thanks to Muhd Taufiq from Singapore for requesting this! :)
Here's a popular song in Singapore, used in the 2002 National Day Parade. Since then, this song is used mostly for graduations (that's what I figured while looking for the original recorded version in YouTube) :P But it seems the song is still highly regarded as a national day song in the hearts of many Singaporeans up till now.
Apparently Sungha Jung arranged and played this on stage during his concert in Singapore last month.
P.S. Hey Singaporean! It's cool to play this arrangement on your national day in 9th August any year xD
I bet this post will be clicked mostly by Singaporeans :)
Now I really need to learn how to play my own national song hahaha :P
Thanks to Leonardo Lee from Argentina for requesting this! :)
Leonardo said that this is the best fingerstyle version of the song on YouTube, and I have to agree with him on that.
A rock classic, really popular among beginner guitarists because the sing-along strumming accompaniment is really easy to play. I must say that doesn't apply to this version though (it's easier than it sounds, but harder than it looks) :'
Bar 8 and 12, to play the 2v0 you only need to do pull off with your left hand. No need to pick anything with your right hand.
Of course I am aware at how bad my previous See You Again tab (arr. Andrew Foy) is.
So this week I'm clearing up those requests and will be updating Andrew's See You Again tab.
First entry in the playlist 'Facebook Requests #1' by Eddie van der Meer.
The the main theme of the sci-fi TV series Fringe (2008-2013), this theme was written by one of the series' writer J. J. Abrams.
Catchy tune, really easy but fun to play on the guitar. And it's really short. Like, only 20 seconds.
The 'T' on the tab stands for wrist thump. Watch the video and you'll get what I mean.
Hey guys, I'll be making tabs for some of Eddie van der Meer's arrangements in the future.
Some of you might be coming back to download the unravel (Tokyo Ghoul) tab and notice the post is gone... Here's why.
But don't worry! I'll be tabbing out his YouTube playlist 'Facebook Requests #1' (4 songs)
Rest assured, I already received the permission from Eddie himself; so it won't be removed ;) (yay!)
I hope my tabs are helpful enough and can give you an 'exactly what I've been looking for!' moment.
Finally, thanks for using my tabs, it really keeps me motivated to make more content.
UPDATE 2.0
