Sunday Jam on Monday, and 2025 Osaka Guitar Messe

 


Always this way. Do something quickly, listen to it a few times, put it out as a quick thing, and want to change it the next day. No matter how "okay" it seemed immediately after doing it. 



Nothing break through here. Same comfort chord progression and lead scale. BUT, after a week of FINGER DRUMMING practice, I am now good enough to actually play something in time, and that is what the drums are here. So I call that progress. 

But doing this makes me think more about my John Carpenter/ Rock Guitar + Synthesizer + Sequencer direction. I am far more interested in that than faking a one man metal band. At least this week 😁

Which reminds me, 12 months ago I was really into Melodic Techno. I still have this in a Playlist and find it fits in perfectly. I don't even realize it is mine when it plays.



Has no guitar what so ever. Has MS-20mini though, which is aggressive for a synthesizer.


Osaka Sound Messe 

May 10/11 is The Osaka Guitar Messe, and Mattias will be there with his now in production 6,7 and 8 string Ulv Freak Guitars at the Zanshin Instruments booth as well as doing 5 or 6 guitar clinics over the weekend.


Takes something like 90minutes, almost as far as Osaka Expo 2025, to get to the ATC Hall Osaka by train from home:


I want to go to Mattias's clinic, but need to enter  the Messe to get a ticket. So will get to the Guitar Show. 

I used to go to Musical Instrument tradeshows a lot during my time at Roland, but NAMM only once. But this is a guitar show, and apart from seeing the Ulvs, I don't really care about looking at guitars, and kind of feel out of place at such an event. I am not such a "guitarist".  I don't collect guitars, even if I do have 4, 6, 7 and 8 string instruments.  I have zero interest in having 4 different colored 6 string PRS, Ibanez, SG or Les Paul guitars, as collector guitarists do.   I think a Guitar Show, is for collector guitarists.   

But I may have an interesting time talking to the people on the booths though.  Hope it doesn't rain, and the day with the least chance of rain is probably the day I go, but hope that is Saturday.

Talking with people on the booths is the reason to go. I was in "the Industry" once.
