On Monday, 13th Oct, Zufar approached Me and Riz to play for the Econs ball that was to be held that following week on Friday. We thought it would be worth a shot and what the hell, opportunities like these don’t come very often. We started our practice the next day, and I honestly did not think that playing in a band required so much effort. We practiced for about 7 hours on a single song, trying to harmonize and synchronize our individual parts in the music. Our first song was to play an acoustic version of Maroon 5's, “Won’t go home without you”, a decently easy song to play. I played the rhythmic, and boy did my fingers hurt, it was pretty sore… I hadn’t touched a guitar in ages, yet alone played in a performance! My guitar skills are pretty much at noob level so to speak.. I’m not worthy!! : ( Riz played the Bass, and Zufar was on the lead. I was meant to play the drums, but the Econs Department didn’t have the budget to rent one just for a single band performance.
Zufar teaching me the chords
Riz, on the Bass (Poser sial)
Jon, being a professional.. ellehcheh hahaha
By the end of our jamming session, we were friggin exhausted, disorientated, dazed, and all the other adjectives you can think of after 7 hours of instrumental power play! I was already lying on the floor drained, and thinking, shit, I have to study for my friggin quiz on Friday.. Im going to be so screwed, oh well.
