My guitar - R2

Some of your guys might be wondering what kind of classical guitar I am using to play all this song. It a spanish guitar made by Ramirez. He is a famous guitarist and also guitar maker. As you can see the Guitar itself comes with casing. The code name for this guitar is R2,I am not sure whether is Ramirez Generation 2 or what. Not many shops sell this guitar, may be only Mahogany sells this.















This is the internal look. It has Jose Ramirez Trademark logo, and it said Modelo De connservatorio, which I don't understand what it is. It has an R2 sign, then CAlle De la Paz N 8? 1882 Madrid 1997? made in 1997? or 1882? or 1882 is the year he starts making guitar? in Madrid?



Another 2 More picture of my guitar. How much it is Cost ? I think that time I bought it was like 7 or 8 years back about RM 5k+ from that Mahogany in Damansara Utama (uptown). But I think already moved to other place. Not sure why so expensive also. It sounds like piano through phone.

Classic Guitar - Lagrima

Lagrima is a classical guitar piece composed by Francisco Tarrega. He is a spanish composer and guitarist. You can check out his profile here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_tarrega
This song is quite easy, nothing much difficult. But in the score book it seems that we have to play it with different mood than what I feel is a sad song. Anyway just check out the link.

Final Fantasy 10 - To Zanarkand


This is a sad song. Everyone who plays FF10 would remember this theme and also the sadness that engrave in your bone. If you play it you will know the story. For me Final fantasy is always being the best RPG of all time. But sadly Elaine doesn't like it cause many of the Ah Beng she met dress up like Tidus. Dress up like tidus but who looks like ah beng style. AKA Tidus-B or Beng-T
May be some of you is wondering why is it so sad? Because Zanarkand is a place where Yuna (Main Character) pilgramage will end and when she executes her final summoning she will defeat sin (A giant creature is Tidus's Father inside), but in the process she will die. Unaware also, she will become the next Sin and continue to harm Spira. Tidus knows it and is finding ways to prevent it. And everyone knows it.
Let's manifest the sadness of FFX.

Japanese Drama - Wait for you

I am not really sure this song is which drama series. As I remember it should be from Overtime that drama, or is it overtime is another song? But my friend told me is under one roof.

Classical Music - Cavatina Incomplete?

This music piece is composed by Standey Meyer and is also the most famous theme from The deer hunter. John Williams (the guitarist not the famous composer for star wars) has also recorded it and made it famous. Is a soothing song. Why is it incomplete? Cause I didn't finish the recording due to some reason. Anyway start your deer hunting session now by clicking the play button. I am going to record another complete version soon. some day, some where.

Final Fantasy 8 - Battle Theme


Is Another final fantasy 8 music piece again. This time is much more harder and much more faster pace than previous breeezy music. If you have been playing FF8 for awhile, you should remember this battle theme in your mind all the time. Because in RPG game, half of the time you will be in battle, may be leveling up or hmm kicking monster's ass.

But some how in some RPG like Xenosaga, you might have long winded scene and grandma story. The battle is much more tactical. So just click the link to start your battle!

Final Fantasy 8 -Breezy


Whoever play final fantasy 8 should be able to remember about this background music. It should loop through your mind when you enter balamb town either to take a train, or to visit zell's mom or searching for that raijin and fujin couple.

If you still can't remember where is it take a look at the pic where you find Squall talking to Zell and his mom. Nobuo Umatsu really compose a light and easy song that really suit balamb environment. Just by listening to this Breezy music it really make you feels the breeze.
