I Love Rock and Roll :D

Hi – Robo here. I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in awhile. Since it is summer my dad has been planning a bunch of adventures. Today I went to the beach at Lake Michigan for the second time this week. Tomorrow I’m going bowling with one of my school friends. So that’s why I haven’t been blogging.

So anyway…today I’m going to talk about my Rock and Roll guitar camp at my music school Suzuki-Orff named after a famous German composer named Carl Orff. At camp we played in a band and we named it Das Kool. My Dad was playing the drums in the band.

For the show on the last day of camp we played these songs:

• Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
• Misserlou
• Wild Thing – The Troggs
• Oye Como Va – Carlos Santana
• Back in Black – ACDC
• Good Riddance – Time of Your Life by Green Day

The first thing I’m going to show you are two pictures of how you hold an electric guitar and how you hold a classical guitar. Do you notice the difference of how the guitar is sitting on my leg? On the classical guitar it is in between my two legs but on the electric guitar it is rested on only one one of my legs.

Next I’m going to teach you how to play two chords and play a song for you.

Learn how to play E and A Minor chords

SPOILER ALERT!

Rad Lemon Poetry (oh – and some babies too!)

Lemons are sour and so are you.

The juice makes you cry and I’m going to cry with you.

– Random poem by Robo (looks like I’m being influenced by Apollo, God of Poetry who does really bad poetry in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan)

This video came from my friend’s blog but I’m adding a little twist to it with a funny title. His title for the post is Pucker Up! You should watch this because they have babies closing their eyes and sticking their tongues out after they eat a lemon. Who are these parents giving their babies lemons anyway?

Minecraft Parody Sleepover

I have a guest author tonight named Survival Maniac (Minecraft user name). He’s going to write this blog post. – Robo

Thanks Robo! I’ll take it from here.

When Robo and I were playing Minecraft together on the computer we realized that we are not a great team. We kept having to respawn (come alive again). Luckily we had each other and we shared our food and weapons. Robo even found red stone and lapis lazuli. Once we were trapped in our house when two spiders were surrounding us. We had just respawned so we didn’t have any weapons. We had a lot of trouble defeating the spiders. Luckily our house was in the desert so we pushed them into cacti.

We’ve been watching a lot of parodies for songs. And these are our favorite ones.

Don’t Mine at Night is a funny parody and also teaches you a lesson for playing Minecraft. The lesson is not to mine at night because if you mine at night there will be a lot of monsters on your way to the cave and a lot in the cave.

Like An Enderman is a video that shows you what an enderman may do to you in Minecraft. Lesson: Stay away from endermans!!

Join Me Stevie is a parody of Call Me Maybe. It is about Stevie, the main character in Minecraft, being found by a lonely teenage girl that is going to help him with his skills.

Minecraft Style is one of the top 10 Minecraft songs. If you like digging in Minecraft this is the perfect song for you.
