Now the fun start! Speed training. Start slow and speed up. The midi file below is at 180 bpm, and that's pretty fast, but that's the goal, get fat. Eh, fast.

Standard tuning...

Have fun...

Running Man

I have decided to start running, and I don't look like this when I run... But I wish I did... Today I head out two times, first with Berith this afternoon, and later this evening with Jenny.

I thought I'd die several times, but maybe someday I'll be able to loose the extra pounds and be able to run the whole way around that bloody track in the forest...

Tomorrow there will be more work, and later rehearsal with Gallows End. We are in the process of deciding what covers we should choose to play, and it's pretty exciting. I'm thinking of Iron Maiden's "Murders in the Rue Morgue", but I'm open for ideas? So don't be afraid to hand them out... :)

New Video

Oh well, I'll let the video speak for itself...

Work, work, work...

As they say in Warcraft... The season for my normal day job has just started, and I have been working two days now. I'm a bit soar, but not as much as I usually am when the season start... Today I'm free from work, but it's just for a day when they fix the truck. What I do? Well, I'm driving around in a big truck with lots of grave stones, that we're setting up on different cemeteries. I also do some other work with stones, but mostly grave stones.

Last night we had our first rehearsal at the new place... We haven't been rehearsing for some time now, and it showed, but we had fun, and we'll be back up there where we want to be in no time, hopefully... :) Thord managed several hours without coffee, yay... And I was almost going nuts without any coffee, but I don't think anyone noticed, hehe...

Oh, I had tuna sallad for lunch yesterday, and when we rehearsed I farted, it was one of the worst farts I have ever had. It smelled like something had crawled up and died in my arse. I was amazed that the other's managed to continue playing, and they didn't even look sick. I was ready to leave the room, and it was my fart... LOL (I guess you didn't want to read that, but what do you expect of a crazy guy?) Moohhahahahahaha...

Well, back to practice and my coffee... Will be back soon again with a new exercise, and some more babling... Oh, Datis wrote this as a comment to another post here: "Datis here. Why don't you tell us some crazy stories from all the years of playing with different bands, or for that matter with Gallows End?" Well, Datis, I will post such things also, I'm afraid that no one will believe the stories, but there will be more of that soon. I promise... :)

Final Stretch & Warm Up

Here's the final Stretch & Warm Up exercise. This one doesn't sound that good, but it's great for stretching. But don't over do this one, and play it slow, you don't need to go out in a frenzy to warm up and practice, you'll just hurt your hand by doing that. So take it slow, and easy, and stop if it hurts.

Below you'll find the midi-file at a bpm rate of 120... The midi is in standard tuning...

Have fun...

Stretch and Warmup Exercise

Here's a little stretch (not extreme, I will post another stretch exercise that is great a little later) and warm up exercise...

Below you'll find the midi-file at a bpm rate of 120... The midi is in standard tuning...

Have fun...

New surroundings...

Yesterday we moved to another rehearsal room, down the same corridor where our old one was. Now we share it with a few other bands, temporary, until we find a place of our own.

What else is new, hmmm... Nothing I guess, but today I will rearrange my pedal case/board (well, I haven't done anything with it before, so everything is just laying in piles of coords and thingies without order)...
