Inheritance?

OK so recently my girlfriends mum decided to sell my girlfriends laptop so she could buy Windows 8 for their new computer, and now she is scared that her guitars, bass and violin will also be sold. Fortunately for me this means I get a violin, and acoustic guitar, my old electric guitar back, and a Fender Squier Jazz bass.

I've been wanting a violin for awhile now, but I've never actually brought one, so I'm chuffed to bits with that. The acoustic guitar needs its action adjusting but it produces a lovely sound. My old Lodgestone guitar sounds great when plugged in, and it feels good to play too. Finally the Jazz Bass, its unfortunately not as balanced as the original fender but it still produces a sound which fits almost every genre of music imaginable, in fact it fits all genres (unless you try to add distortion).

Right now I'm also trying to save up for a small mixing desk so I can actually try and record something, but Steam keeps throwing games in my face that look incredible, so if I can resist not buying Farcry 3 or anything equally as awesome for the next two months, I should be fine, I may however treat myself to some more Nerf darts...

Squealies

Now that I'm done with my geography detentions I can concentrate on my graphics detentions. Oh joy! Any way that's actually two subjects off my back because I realised that Imogen is six times better at singing than playing the bass guitar (and she's barely average at singing). this means instead I can teach Dana bass and she is willing to learn it as well.
Squealies are really what I wanted to talk about because I've now worked out roughly how to do them but I can't yet get them done quickly there is about a second delay between the initial note until it becomes a squealy, or pinch harmonic if you prefer. I ended up rushing from my geography lesson to the music practise room at lunch just to claim it before anyone else can, which involved saying no to Jazz, and when I got my guitar and got in to find the EPIC amplifier I was using earlier still there someone else came in then left because I beat him. I connected my Lodgestone guitar to the amp and started playing "pumpkinpatch murders" by "Blitzkid" and after god knows how many tries I hit the squealy in the intro and it sounded so epic with the effect of the amp (it was all a bit high pitched made it sound like stereotypical metal, a bit like "3 Inches of Blood") and I was very impressed with that.
Overall it was a good day too.
