Naruto Soundtrack “The Raising Fighting Spirit” Guitar Cover

by vixidem on Mar.09, 2010, under Guitar and Music

Finished forensic medicine’s ‘extra’ test this evening. Still have final examination for the semester, and it is just around the corner.

I have received two offer from my friends to do a wedding/engagement photography, but the date of the event prevent me from accepting it. And the other thing is, I am not confident with myself to do a wedding photography yet. I have never tagged with anyone to know how a wedding photographer do their work even once, and I have no experience of doing such job. I am afraid that the artwork then will be sub par. For me, wedding is such a beautiful thing that the job of documenting it in form of meaningful photos is a very serious matter and it should not be ruined by a a work from hobbyist photographer like me. To my friend(s) if you read this, I am so sorry to not accepting your offer.

During my time as a child, as a teenager, I have always struggled to get what I want. There are nothing that can withhold me from achieving things I’ve wanted. The principle had brought me a lot of victorious moment and I hungers for more. But, the principle was defied during my time at Matriculation, it was a mistake to over enjoy it. It was more than frustration that overwhelmed me quite for a long of time. But now, I am right back on track, and it almost halfway through. I don’t want to ruin this opportunity.

This is a video of Naruto Soundtrack “The Raising Fighting Spirit”. Originally composed by Toshiro Matsuda. In this video, I have recorded three tracks for the guitar, a lead guitar, another one to harmonize the lead guitar, and the rhythm guitar for backing. This song dedicated to [anis] which is now struggling with her clinical years. Busy, tired, lack of time for ownself, and this song is to enlighten you :p

Enjoy :)

I just changed my guitar strings yesterday, means that I will be in good mood to play guitar for a while before the strings become rusty. I have to change my guitar strings at least every 1 month (usually it will be much earlier) as I have hyperhidrosis.

“Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest.” (definition from MedlinePlus). Google it yourself to find out more.

Sweaty palms cause the guitar strings to become rusty faster than usual, and the string bright sound diminished earlier than it should be. It is very very frustating, not only when I play guitar, but also in several other conditions such as shaking hands,playing badminton and even when writing during the exams. I still remember that I use a handkerchief to prevent my OMR paper from soaking in sweat from my palms during PMR and SPM. Luckily, examinations in MSU is carried out in rooms with aircond (if unlucky, I have to do the exam in hot rooms and experience the same situation).

I went to Laman Seri Business Park this evening with Aziq to shoot some photos. Yesterday Aziq saw some photos of Laman Seri Business Park at Lim Zifan’s facebook, and he asked me whether I want to shoot it too. So, here it is ,the photos from Laman Seri Business Park together with Aziq as shooting partner (merangkap model sambilan :D ).

Shoot with Aperture Priority mode with Aperture set variably from f/1.8 to f/16. I forgot to reset my camera ISO setting so some photos were shooted with a higher ISO than needed. ISO 200 was used most of the time. 50mm f/1.8 and 12-24mm f/4 were mounted on camera with no flash. White balance used was Kelvin, set at 5300. Adobe Photoshop CS3 used for post-processing (reverted back to CS3, CS4 is freaking heavy, with annoying interface)

Enjoy.
