cAPITALIZE HIS NAME GODdAmnIT

also how is that smart sounding, it's just theory followed by some kind of rambling about numbers in relation to music. it's not stupid by any means but this isn't greil marcus mumbling about lipstick traces and the heritage of blues, it's just a blog post.

this whole thing feels like a led zeppelin album. that is not a good thing.


 i am still looking forward to it.

new song out at mys`pace

yeah this song is kind of what i had been coming to expect from this. that's not to say it's the same old stuff, but the cover and the song titles and all that. i'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing.

ohhh that's what you meant by the led zeppelin thing. yeah, the covers and names are kind of EPIC of sort but i don't care if the music rules!
though i must admit the concept of empyrean goes WELL BEYOUND what led zeppelin ever did haha

The Empyrean is a story that has no action in the physical world. It all takes place in one persons mind throughout his life. The only other character is someone who does not live in the physical world but is inside it, in the sense that he exists in peoples minds. The mind is the only place that anything can be truly said to exist. The outside world is only known to us as it appears within us by the testament of our senses.  The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand. Seeing our ideas take form is like being able to see the sun come into being. We have no equivelent to the purity of that in our account of the outside world. The outer world appears to each of us as one thing and it is always also a multitude of others. Inside to outside and outside to inside are neverending. Trying and giving up are a form of breathing.

i think i've decided i really love the last minute or so of this song. a lot. apart from that it's nice but didn't blow my mind. the "heeeey shoot me!! shoot me! shoot me..." part is pretty good yes, but the chord progressions of the first half of the song are the same he's been using for about a decade. and that's fine, i don't really mind cos he is trying new things in every other area but basically i could see the next chord coming the first time i listen to it.

I've never listened to John Frusciante but I really like unreachable on his myspace. I'm gonna get his olders tuff

i figured out most of unreachable last night when i was at my grandmas house (minus the solo)

im pretty sure he plays it with his guitar in Eb

these are all barre chords btw.

i couldn't be bothered to write down all the lyrics and match the chords up with them, so it's not 100% correct, but these are the right chords so. i also tabbed the chords out and used the chord names as if the guitar was still in standard tuning to make it easier. but it should be tuned to Eb so technically it would be in Ab major

Ive never known john to change his guitars tuning for songs. I'm sure he just played it in Ab in standard tuning. Honestly there isn;t a whole lot of guitar strumming going on anyway

edit: also the chords you used imply G, not A....

yeah you're right. i don't know why i said A

also yeah john typically doesn't play in other tunings than E but i've heard him talk about it in interviews (hendrix tuned to Eb quite a bit) and a few of his jams and things i've heard him play on youtube have been in Eb. it's easier to play in Eb imo anyway but he probably does play it in E.

this leaked my good friends

awesome! gettin this now.

fuck yall im buying this in person

i just can't wait to give my money to the cashier

one more of me sounds just like he's being all IM GEORGE BUSH IM THE PRESIDENT and adopting a fake elitist voice. this album's kinda garbage. panda says its a concept so maybe that's why he did this track.

ahahah midway through springsteen meets aerosmith.
