Lady Gaga – Speechless

Click Here For The GuitarTutee Tabs.

I can’t believe what you said to me
Last night when we were alone
You threw your hands up
Baby you gave up, you gave up

I can’t believe how you looked at me
With your James Dean glossy eyes
In your tight jeans with your long hair
And your cigarette stained lies

Could we fix you if you broke?
And is your punch line just a joke?

I’ll never talk again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless

I can’t believe how you slurred at me
With your half wired broken jaw
You popped my heart seams
On my bubble dreams, bubble dreamsa

I can’t believe how you looked at me
With your Johnnie Walker eyes
He’s gonna get you and after he’s through
There’s gonna be no love left to rye

And I know that it’s complicated
But I’m a loser in love
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts
Of all my wrecked up friends

I’ll never talk again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless so speechless

I’ll never love again,
Oh friend you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless

Hooow?
Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
Wow

Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
Wow

And after all the drinks and bars that we’ve been to
Would you give it all up?
Could I give it all up for you?

And after all the boys and girls that we’ve been through
Would you give it all up?
Could you give it all up?

If I promise to you boy
That I’ll never talk again
And I’ll never love again
I’ll never write a song
Won’t even sing along

I’ll never love again
So speechless
You left me speechless, so speechless
Why you so speechless, so speechless?

Will you ever talk again?
Oh boy, why you so speechless?
You’ve left me speechless

Some men may follow me
But you choose “death and company”
Why you so speechless? Oh oh oh

Wah pedals reviews

Wah pedals reviews

A comparison (or maybe just a demo) of the Dunlop Crybaby, EVH Crybaby, Fulltone Clyde Wah, and EX-7 with 2 wah models (Crybaby and Vox McCoy). Using a Marshall JVM 410H. Guitars were my Suhr Classic and my Michael Kelly Patriot Shadow with Rockfield pickups.

I suddenly felt like I needed to look into playing with wah pedals more, so I started by digging up my Fulltone Clyde Wah and my Digitech EX-7. I also went to Music Centre Canada and they were kind enough to let me take home a regular Crybaby and an EVH Crybaby by Dunlop for testing.

I played these pedals for quite a bit over the weekend, and they all have their own thing going for them. The EVH Wah surprised me. I thought it sounded really good, especially with some gain. The regular Crybaby didn’t seem to suck tone and have any drawbacks really, although I have read comments about how some think it’s poorly made and a real tone sucker. Didn’t notice.

The EX-7 wah models on the default settings did sound a bit so-so, in comparison to the other pedals. However, these wah models can be tweaked quite a bit, something I didn’t do this time.

So can you guess which of the Dunlop Wah pedals I bought?

Here’s what my messing around with da Wahs sounded like. Let me hear which pedal you think sound the best!

Boys Like Girls Feat. Taylor Swift – Two Is Better Than One

Click Here For The GuitarTutee Tabs.

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey
You know this could be something
‘Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I’m left with nothing

So maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking two, is better than one

I remember every look upon your face,
The way you roll your eyes, the way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
‘Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everythings okay
And finally now, we’re leaving

And maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking two, is better than one

Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life
And I thought hey

Maybe it’s true, that I can’t live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And you’ve already got me coming undone
And I’m thinking

Oooh I can’t live without you
‘Cause baby two is better than one
There’s so much time, to figure out the rest of my life
And I’ve figured out with all that’s said and done
Two, is better than one

Two is better than one

How you choose to express yourself
It’s all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally, it comes naturally

You follow what you feel inside
It’s intuitive, you don’t have to try
It comes naturally, mmmm it comes naturally

And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it’s exciting
When you know it’s meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you’re with me, baby

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby

You have a way of moving me
A force of nature, your energy
It comes naturally (You know it does)
It comes naturally
Mmmm yeah

And it takes my breath away (Everytime)
What you do, so naturally

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it’s exciting
When you know it’s meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you’re with me, baby

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby

When we collide, sparks fly
When you look in my eyes, it takes my breath away

You are the thunder and I am the lightning
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it’s exciting
When you know it’s meant to be
Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
When you’re with me, baby

Everything comes naturally, it comes naturally
Bay bay baby

Zuiko 50mm Macro Lens

Zuiko 50mm F/2.0 Macro lens

I did quite a bit of research about recently, about digital SLR cameras. I was thinking about switching to Nikon or Canon. Those are the most commonly used camera brands on the market today, or at least that’s what it’s seems like to me.

Long story short, after reading and reading about Olympus, Canon, Nikon and some other brands, I’ve decided to stick with Olympus. I have a very basic Olympus E-410, but I like it and I really like the Olympus lenses. I believe it is too easy to get caught up in the hype about what gear to get. It’s just like guitar gear – it’s easy to forget how important it is to use the gear well! I think the Olympus lenses are of really great quality, and that together with capable hands is in my view more important than what brand the pro photographers use. There’s so much hype and misconceptions out there about gear, whether it’s about guitars or cameras or whatever. I’ll rather spend time using what I have than just sitting around wanting something “better”.

With that in mind, I bought a Olympus Zuiko DIGITAL ED Macro lens – 50 mm – F/2.0. This is a dedicated lens for macro photography. The 2.0 maximum aperture makes it excellent for available-light shooting while the attachment of macro flash systems is also possible.

This lens is amazing. It produces incredibly crisp and sharp images and I love it for portraits of the kids. It also works really great in low light, especially compared to the kit lens that came with the camera.

You can of course get really, really close with this lens, and I intend to post some examples soon so you can see for yourself. Great for professional looking food and candy photos! It’s quite amazing the amount detail you can get. It is extremely sharp, and I love how much detail I can get of a flower or insect when stopped down to around f6.3 – f8. As well, you can get a wonderful limited depth of field when set to the f2 aperture.

For doing portraits, this lens is simply brilliant, it captures so much detail. People you take photos of might even complain that it captures too much detail!

The only drawbacks I’ve found are the AF is slow and it does not have internal focusing. Other than that, this is close to being a perfect lens. The Zuiko 50mm f2.0 macro lens takes incredible photos. If you have an Olympus DLSR and don’t yet have this lens, do yourself a favour and get it. Just get it, and you’ll be amazed at how great and useful it is.
