Guitarists of Singapore (GOS) · 原调 C · 最后更新

Age: 26

Style: Acoustic

No. of hours spent on the guitar per week: Almost everyday, duration depends on what I do with it (eg. songwriting or recording or practising). I guess around 1-3 hours on average?

Guitar/ music qualifications: ABRSM Theory Grade 8, Practical (for classical guitar) Grade 3, haha I stopped after awhile in school.

Gig/ competition experience: I used play a regular set at Hood Bar for about a year, but now I mostly do performances as they come along, and they are more like showcases. For example, (HuaYi, Switch, Starkers, or overseas in Chengdu or Taiwan) Competitions wise, I joined NTU Music Express back in 2012 where I was lucky enough to get champion.

Then at around 17, I joined the Guitar Ensemble in my school and learned to play the classical guitar in a group with everyone else. Soon after, I started to try learning to play pop songs on my own.

I was learning to play classical piano as well then, and as I started to write my own songs, I wondered how it would be different to write with the guitar instead. And then I fell in love with the guitar

Describe your first experience playing on a guitar.

Describe your most memorable guitar-related incident.

I think it was after a flight, and I had loosened all the strings and I wanted to tune them back. After tuning all the low strings I finally reached the high E string and because I didn't expect it, I turned the peg way too much and the string just snapped and cut my finger. Okay, not a fun anecdote but, Moral of the story: Tune with caution.
