I almost wish I could be a beginner again where the hardest thing I had to learn was how to tune my guitar. It's like when a kitten was just able to sleep in a shoe: it doesn't last forever. Remember this, beginners: your first c major scale is my first harmonic minor solo composition at 154 BPMs. It never gets easier. Once you master one thing, you'll discover something new you suck at all over again

@RoaringRowanThunderBender has been working so hard on a goal song for her. And she's been doing so well! But I felt so honored when she messaged me and said "Jak, can I ask you for help?" It was SUCH a good way to truly express a new light with Bastet. And it was fun to learn.

Man...I missed me so active here.
I love how I can see my older posts so easily and I read the responses from you guys on one of them and I about peed my pants laughing so hard.
I love every one of you so much!!

I just have to say that it's almost kind of making me cry seeing all of these submissions for Eddie.
What a great job everyone is doing paying tribute to our resting hero.

Bill ended up giving us two badass singers that are so fucking good. And we're waiting to hear back from our first choice, who actually happens to be the singer of a band I like! I was like "WTF THIS GUY?!"
THEN, as the conversation went, Bill had to listen to the demo of the song and he goes, "Okay, I'm gonna give you a suggestion you didn't ask for but I'm doing it anyways." Needless to say, what he suggested was fucking GOLD. I told him, "I never really cared for Holly's melody here. I thought it needed to change more. But this fixed it!" He said "It's not her melody that needed to change, it's fine. It was your guitar part that needed to change."
The fucking song sounds INSANE now!!! I can't wait to record the new part!
See you guys at the live stream today!

In my last lesson Bill openly told me that I'm falling behind on my theory. I told him it was because my technique was so awful that I had been spending a lot of time on my technique methods he taught me and then working on this big audition song thingy. What he told me afterwards made me so damn happy. He said...
"I can tell you this. You're at a level now where you could walk into any room, pick up any guitar, and play any song and people would say 'wow she's fucking good!' But you're falling away from the level of being able to walk into a room of jazz musicians and play along. I shouldn't be seeing you counting on your fingers anymore."
So I closed all of my social media accounts and am pulling 8-hour days (5 of practice, 3 of band recording) and wow.

I don't always want a Synyster Gates acoustic. But when I do, I have to wait almost a year for them to come back in stock right after I drop $1,000 on the studio, getting my guitars fixed, and our drummer

Looks like it's overtime baybay!

Holy shit. That masterclass was fucking nuts!!! Thank you so much to everyone who came. It really meant a lot to both of us!

Wow... community donations, student perks, rockstar student awards, masterclasses.... this fucking school is on FIRE....

All hail those who made it happen! And who benefit from it, our little kittens! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I would like to thank my girl Alex, Patrick and Syn for letting me blow up their inboxes and phones with my technology meltdown today... and helping me through it. And most importantly, not judging me for it

Why didn't any of you tell me my bends were flat, my finger coordination was poor, my connection was stiff and my vibratos were weak when I did the 2nd Stage solo?!

I can safely say that it's been a day where I forgot if I put underwear on or not, lol!

Jak Angelescu · Jul 18, 2020

Ahhhh.... a day off!! Feeling confident with the material I worked on for my lesson with Bill today. And now...
I'm gonna spend some time on here giving my alma mater some time

Jak Angelescu · Jul 2, 2020

Whew. I'm practicing all these things. I may try to go live on Instagram around 4 to lesson my nerves playing this in front of him

PS! Seeing some much better work from you guys. You all are doing wonderfully and I love you all!

OMG!!! I just got the sixlets for the solo I'm learning with Bill up to 100BPMS! It's a 35 BPM improvement in just ONE FUCKING DAY!! AAAHHH I CAN'T CONTAIN MY HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW!

Jak Angelescu · Jun 22, 2020

I feel normal! I got great internet where I won't be having to use my silly mobile hotspot. Now I can actually use this site on a laptop and get the full experience. Yay!!
