The rules of Life

I've been slowly putting these together for the benefit of my son. Now that I hardly see him because of the divorce it's harder to teach him the things he needs to know so that he is prepared for life

In no particular order:

1 Don't play with fire 2 Keep your balance - life is a great balancing act 3 Learn ways to cope with stress- connect with your inner being. Learn the Power of Now 4 Respect your elders. Forgive 5 Don't point 6 Take great care of yourself - always. That means always wear a condom. Always 7 Don't bite your nails - use tools and never on a Tuesday 8 Don't wipe your mouth with your sleeve 9 Don't touch peoples faces 10 Respect other peoples things 11 Don't lean out of windows 12 Wash your hands before you eat.

Contain your FEELINGS in your HEART until you are CALM. 45 4. Contain your STRENGTH in your LIMBS until you are called to a worthy CHALLENGE. 46 5. Contain your FEARS in your SOUL until your COURAGE overcomes them. 47 6. Contain your MONEY in your PURSE until you can buy something truly VALUABLE. 48 7.

Contain your PLEASURE in your BODY until you are ALONE. 52 CONTAIN EVERYTHING UNTIL IT IS RIPE FOR HARVEST!! 53 As much as you can listen for the voice of God in the sounds of nature - wind in the trees, boom of surf, running of the rivers 54 Look at the spaces between, around and within things not just at the things 55 Find your being in the formless, timeless world within you. The world of form and time is finite and ever-changing - it is the world we live in but not who we are 56 When you are in trouble,when you find yourself in a bad place - just breathe 57 Learn to manage your money. Never get into debt. Save always. 58 Don't get a job. Ever. Run a business 59 You must learn to take care of yourself before you can take care of a family 60 Learn to drive as soon as you can.

Leave all cards at home. Take cash 65 My mother had a very old book that is rare to find (if impossible) now, called The Fascinating Girl (and a married one The Fascinating Woman – by Helen B. Andelin if you want to try to find it 66 The manipulated man - read it 67 The purpose of your life is not to make a woman happy or to provide her with substance to maintain her fairytale illusion 68 Use women for what they are – but never trust them. You can always depend on a woman to be a slut – but nothing else. Remember that… Everything else is just wishful thinking on your part 69 Learn to be comfortable with silence and solitude. The alternative is drama, chaos and servitude 70 The goal is to separate us from God, from woman, from family, from tribe, to take from us any shred of identity and connection, the things that make us human. You can blame feminists, Satan, you can point your finger at liberals, Jews, the elite class, whatever. In time we’ll know exactly what and whom we’re dealing with, as our enemies are starting to make themselves known.

My daily Mantra

Surrender. Go with the flow of life 

Prayer: God please give me strength to find peace and the strength to achieve my goals

Stay sober: The health of my spirit and my body is my power

The power to make the decision needed to control my behaviour 

Behaviour determines performance 

Making decisions is the call to action


Action produces results

Live in the Now!

Focus! Focus only on the things going well in life:
Guitar
Work
Fitness
Diet 
Power of Now
Mgtow
Sober Recovery 
Yoga

Ignore the mind:

Thinking
Emotions
The past and the future
Jealousy
Heart break
Anger
Despair 
Thoughts of suicide 

Let her go
When alone you don't drink and you are not stressed. 
Let her go
Build a future for yourself that the kids can be a part of
Let her go
When thoughts turn to her let them happen and just observe. They will pass
Let it go

Marshall your mind for the battle

En gaurd!

Achieve Sobriety: it's a battle - Nov 6 is Day 1
Be a Guitar Master
Be an Abstract Artist
Grow Strong and lean
Be a Brilliant engineer
Accept the role of Ghost father
Be Spirituality enlightened 
Train to be a Yogi

Stay connected to the inner body

Take action!
Know what you want 

Learn

Adapt

Persist

Pray
Be grateful 
Believe 

Commit

Develop:

Remember your friends and family

Focus

Primevil trance guitar - here there be dinosaurs...

trance jazz Frankfurt

Exwife called me up while I was in MacD today. Yesterday she said she never wants to see me again today she called and didn't say anything except that she was angry

Guitars are way easier than women

Frankfurt Colour Hotel 2 - late night zoodling

The Frankfurt Colour Hotel 1

busking in Birmingham on a sunday afternoon

For years I've practised alone - in my car, most recently in my garage. Last year I played at several parties on Reunion Island and was very thankful for the positive response. After all I only improvize and I never play anyone else's music so when I play I am exposing my soul

I write this post with a heavy heart as yesterday I summoned the courage to play in public and I played for nearly an hour - some dazzling stuff - and I got nothing. Not a penny.

What can a man do. Give up? After 25 years of playing... No. Put it down to a bad day at the office. Have to

Anyway I just had to write about this - here on my blog that no-one reads. What an invisible life I lead

trance guitar from Kuganuma beach, Japan

Check out this trance guitar from Kuganuma beach, Japan - recorded live with my drummer - the Club

trance guitar from Chaouen

Wrote this this trance guitar way back in my 20's when I was back packing around Morocco - recorded it 10 years later in Japan - this fragment is all I've got left - I lost most of my tapes and possessions after taking 3 hits of acid on a beach near Yokohama one night - I fell off the planet for a few years after that and ended up in a mental institution - all water under the bridge now and I've been off the medication for over a decade and somehow even got myself a family. Just shows - you stay alive long enough and all things pass...

trance guitar - the car sessions

So here is a small collection of trance guitar that I recorded in October 2011 - it's trance guitar stripped to the bone - guitar played as a trance-percussive instrument and treading the line between noise and harmonics - no melody just rythym - please feel free to comment - I'll keep doing this whatever but I'd like to know whether I'm considered completely insane to be exploring the guitar in this way

Trance Guitar Movie 2

Here is another short movie with a trance guitar sound track. I recorded this way back before the kids were born when we were living in Summertown in Oxford. It was actually the last time I did any recording using mixers etc - once the kids arrive there's just no time any more. Then my mixer got stolen when we moved house later on and so these days all I can do is play live to a digital camera - which is the format of most of my posts - but there is still plenty of archive trance guitar material like this that I want to publish

The pics are from Lake street in Oxford - where we lived when Ilvira was pregnant with Edith

Enjoy - and please leave a comment if you feel like it

Trance Guitar Forever!

Cheers

Trance guitar jam

I've now quit IT and taken up gardening - got 2 kids, a dog, a wife and a mortgage, bills, debts and somehow I've got to make it pay. Recorded this trance guitar jam in the back of my car -

Halloween trance guitar in my car

Halloween was my last day at work - I was made redundant today - another victim of the global meltdown. So this jam is from the last of my car sessions - there may be more trance guitar from my car but no more sessions recorded at the back of the car park at work

Definitions

Trance Guitar style is about exploring texture - no picks are used - only fingers and nails.

To start with - let's define how we'll be addressing the fingers:

This is the terminology I'll be using throughout this blog series -

Some other terms:

Le = left hand
Ri = right hand
Te = fingers
Na = nail
Nu = knuckle
Ru = rubbing
Ta = tapping

That's all for now as my little boy has just woken up and is climbing all over me - next post we'll start exploring techniques
