New Album "Loud and Blues" now on sale for over sea!
Hello, our fellow ginjineko freaks!
We have the most excellent news to share with you today.
As some of you might already know, ginjineko's new album "Loud and Blues" is now on sale for oversea fans!
You can get it from CDbaby.
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ginjineko3
Fresh outta oven! Come and get it while it's hot! :)
Here's the message from ginjineko himself.
--------------------------------------------
The album was recorded on Gibson Les Paul 92 (a.k.a. Skull) powered by the special hand-wound pickups "SAYTONE" by Saitou Gakki Koubo, except for the backing part of Re:START, which was recorded on Line6 Variax JTV-59.
(SAYTONE http://www.saytone.jp/ )
(Line 6 http://line6.com/ )
As for the Amp simulator, Line6 POD HD 300 and 500 only.
Mixed and mastered using EZ MIX1,2 by Crypton Future Media.
(Crypton Future Media http://www.crypton.co.jp/ )
This EZ MIX is just off the chain!
Just one click and your sound is all enhanced to the professional level.
The sound to apply with each track is of course superb but I personally love the plugin for master.
The wall of guitar sound on L and R, which you hear often on HR/HM tunes can be set up by this single plugin.
If you wanna boost up your acoustic pressure, just use the multi band comp. and you are all done.
My guitar itself of course sounds super better thanks to SAYTONE pickups, but thanks to POD HD, my sound is now almost "simulator smell" free. Added to that, I've got this monster software called EZ MIX for brush up.
I'm sure my work sounds millions of times better now.
By the way, I use Elixir (09-46) for the strings.
As you might have noticed, I covered the classical tune "Canon" this time.
I wanted to show respect for JerryC who became the trigger to restart my music activities once again and it also means "origin" and "challenge".
I hope you all enjoy Canon -ginjineko ver.
Here are some notes for each tunes.
Brand New World
The longest tune record! 8:35!
The brand new world now revealed.
Loud And Blues
It's the title tune.
Also the answer to the hand-made sticker on my guitar, which has been there for more than 20 years.
Cross Road
I originally wrote this tune for the seminar at Music Fair 2011 presented by Crypton Future Media.
The event was held on 2011 Oct.
Song of Our Days
It was originally a track called "STF (Song to Fly)", which I created before I started ginjineko activities.
My partner khaluah created the melody and the lyrics and the track was reborn as a song called "Song of Our Days".
I rearranged that vocal version as instrumental.
SHINE
I wrote this song for the collaboration with the guitar player Mr. Fumiyoshi Kamo, when we did the interview for Ritto Music.
Canon
Challenge to the origin of my all.
Moon Stone
All played by the acoustic guitar.
The melody is the pure 1-take miracle.
8
The main melody repeats as if infinity.
Perfect for marching band performance...?
RE:START
This was the tune I composed the first in 2012.
It's the fresh restart.
I've been thinking for a long time if I should make this tune the track No.1.
Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Your "Big Cat", ginjineko

【AMP SIMULATOR】JamUp Pro for iPhone/iPad App
Link to the HD ver.
http://youtu.be/gwjYvCOzGSU?hd=1
---Review by ginjineko----
I've just reviewed the amp simulator for iPhone/iPad called "Jam Up Pro".
I've got a message from its developer the other day, asking me if I'd like to review their app.
And I said, "Hell yeah!".
I received the app and the interface, tried it, liked it so much, so went ahead and shot the video between my regular job (By the way, I work here now: Himeji Beta Music http://www.beta-music.com/web/index.html ). Yup, I pretty much work at the studios. This time the video is shot at my work place, not in my room as usual.
Anyway...
There are tons of iPhone/iPad amp simulators out there.
I've pretty much tried every single one of them (free ones and paid ones) but to be honest, guys, this Jam Up is the best so far, for both the sound and the features.
First, the sound.
It's thicker than AmpliTube. Distortion takes effect better too. So does EQ.
The amp lineup is wide in variation. Each has the unique sound. There are none that sounds the same.
All the stompboxes you'll need are there. Color difference is very clear too.
With the amp at the center, you can drag and switch the order of stompbox connection (host or pre), which is very convenient.
M favorite stopmbox is Tape Echo.
It's warmer and fatter than digital delay.
When you need some depth and glaze on your sound, this is the best choice.
As for the reverb, spring reverb is the best for me. It's just better than any compact boxes in my opinion.
When you use this kind of apps, I'm sure the biggest concern will be the latency.
As for Jam Up, it does delay just a little bit, but it's "just-a-little-bit" enough. You won't have any problems while you actually play.
In my demo video, the first half of "Song of Our Days" is directly recorded from the PA speakers in the studio, using my iPhone camera. I'm sure you don't notice anything odd.
The last half part of the song is the line-recorded sound through my PC so that you can tell the details of the sound. It really doesn't sound that much different from any amp simulators in the market today.
The best part of Jam Up is its high quality sound, of course, but other features are also just great.
The classic, good-old tuner, for example.
I know most of the simulator apps have tuners, but Jam Up has an analog meter. I personally love that.
Recently most apps have LED meters, probably for better looks, but LED tuner is only for rule-of-thumb tuning. It's just not suitable for accurate tuning.
As for analog meter, you can see the hand on the meter. Jam Up even has the analog scale meter under the hand so you can accurately tune your guitar.
All tuners are naturally accurate. But this visibility is very important. You can tell if your guitar is accurately tuned only by looking at it.
Very user-friendly.
Next feature: Mix with backing tracks.
The backing track you hear in the video is played by Jam Up.
I usually record my guitar play and the backing track seperately but this time, I recorded both in 1 track on my Mac Logic, using the feature of Jam Up that can directly call the backing tracks from iPod library.
This "call feature" is very rich. You don't need to copy the backing tracks on the app, they will be directly called from your iPod so you don't have to worry about eating up the capacity.
Also, changing the tempo without changing the pitch, changing the pitch by halftone, changing the volume... you can do all this instantly in real time, which is just great.
You can slow down the tempo in half
when you practice fast tunes. Even if your band play half-down tuning songs only, you can practice regular tuning songs without changing the guitar settings just by changing the pitch on this app.
Very convenient.
There's another nice feature: The sampler, which is covered at the very last of the video.
You can sample the phrase played on your guitar and use it as a loop track.
In the video, I played A7 and D7 whole notes, recorded it, played it back as a backing track and played solo to it.
There are other nice features such as multi track recorder etc.
You can do may things with this app.
With all these included, it's only $19.99.
But right now, they are on sale! (only $9.99!!)
You better not wait, seriously.
They have the special interface for this app, but the ones by other manufacturers also work.
My video is 20mins-long including demonstration guitar play, but it covers all the features of the app so go ahead and check it out!

ginjineko is now the official monitor artist for Ovation!
Hey hey, guys!
I've got ANOTHER great news today!
I know what you guys just thought... "AGAIN???"
Yes, AGAIN!
ginjineko is now the official monitor artist for Ovation!
As you guys know, Ovation is one of the most prestigious acoustic guitar manufacturer in the world.
The thing is, in Japan, Hamer and Ovation are handled by the same distributor, Nakao Corp., and they were so cool to say, "Why not let him do both? :)"
So here's the first demonstration video for this beautiful guitar he got from them.
Enjoy!

"The guitar itself is Celebrity, which is one of the most popular series in Ovation so the sound and resonantness is no doubt prime-quality. On top of that, it has multi-functional MP3 player which will be highly usable for both daily practices and live performances.

ginjineko is now HAMER's official monitor artist!
Hey hey, guys!
I've got a GREAT exciting news today!
Are you guys familiar with the guitar manufacturer HAMER GUITARS?
http://www.hamerguitars.com/
A lot of great artists like Linkin Park, No Doubt, Aerosmith, Judas Priest and Cheap Trick are their users.
http://www.hamerguitars.com/?fa=artists
And now, ginjineko is the official monitor artist for Japanese line of HAMER XT series!
Can you guys believe this???
He's already got the specially tuned model from NAKAO CORPORATION, which is the importer for HAMER guitars in Japan and soon will release a review video on YouTube.
According to ginjineko, who's been playing his newly obtained HAMER guitar for about a week now, the touch-and-feel is very close to his Gibson Les Paul and he loves it already.
He'll still continue to use his Gibson, but I think you'll start seeing him rocking his new weapon more often from now on.
I heard that there are more surprises regarding this, so please stick with us and we'll let you know as soon as more info is available!
Cheers!

According to ginjineko, who's been playing his newly obtained HAMER guitar for about a week now, the touch-and-feel is very close to his Gibson Les Paul and he loves it already.
He'll still continue to use his Gibson, but I think you'll start seeing him rocking his new weapon more often from now on.
I heard that there are more surprises regarding this, so please stick with us and we'll let you know as soon as more info is available!
Cheers!

ginjineko tunes TAB & Backing Track Sets on sale!
●MIGHTY☆WING 250yen
●Catwalk Etude 250yen
●LIMIT BREAK 250yen
You can purchase them from here
http://www.dl-market.com/default.php/manufacturers_id/1693/language/en
As some of you might already know, ginjineko usually just says no to TAB requests.
And here are his main reasons why.
1. THERE'RE A LOT OF THINGS THAT JUST CAN'T BE PUT DOWN ON TABs
He often says, "Use your ear". That's right, to learn music, you must use your ear.
But when you have TABs, you tend to just "read" it on the paper and forget to learn how it's actually played by listening to the actual music.
Music is naturally full of nuance and feelings that just can't be put down on paper, and you can only learn them by listening to it carefully.
2. COPYING BY EAR IS THS BEST WAY TO NOURISH GOOD "MUSIC EAR"
Kinda same thing with 1, but to be a good musician, you must nourish good ear.
Copying by ear is the best practice to develop "music ear" so you should do it as often as possible, especially when you are a beginner.
3. ginjineko NEVER WRITES DOWN HIS MUSIC
That's right. The composer himself doesn't have the music sheets for his tunes cause he never writes them down.
Did you guys know that a lot of contemporary musicians (professional or amateure) never write music sheets?
In case of ginjineko, he just "copies" the music ringing in his head, plays it down on the guitar, and records it on his Mac. If he forgets how to play any of his tunes, he just listens to his recordings and "copies" it again.
That's why, if he decides to release TABs, he has to write it down from the scratch, and that's such a time-and-effort-consuming work.
However, he DOES understand that you guys asks for TABs because you love his music.
And he really appreciates that.
So, he finally decided to make TABs for some of his most popular tunes.
(He still wants to remind you guys to listen to the tunes carefully, even when you have the TAB!
There are a lot of stuff you can only learn by listening!)
Each sets are only a couple of dollars so I'm sure you can afford it by saving up some soda money for a couple of days.
Plus, from my point of view, if you pay some fee, however small it is, you will try to make something out of it, don't you agree? I'm sure you won't make any "oh-I-got-off-work-late-today" excuses or "I've-just-got-a-new-XBOX-game" excuses to skip today's practice. And trust me, it's such a big difference when you are a lazy person just like me :)
*If you have any requests for ginjineko to add to his TAB/Backing Track sets line up, please send it here: kamoneginjistudio@gmail.com (ginjineko's ORIGINAL TUNES ONLY PLEASE!) We cannot guarantee all requests will be answered, but ginjineko sure will consider them when he decides to release more TABs next time.
