Last week, Eraserheads songs inspired a jukebox musical known as Ang Huling El Bimbo that made headlines when it was streamed online for streaming. AHEB follows college friends through nostalgic yet painful memories in their past while touching upon various social issues that make the piece relatable and realistic.
Anthony made an unforgettable first impression as Hector in AHEB when he made his stage debut, striking up with an infectious boy-next-door charm and quickly winning over audiences with every performance.

This article will focus on basic major and minor triad chords – these are likely some of the first chords you learned when beginning guitar. It’s important to keep in mind that chords don’t just refer to notes you strum together – each note also contains intervals (other notes within its own octave), so each chord may have more than one name depending on which key it’s being played in and its intended sound.
To play chords correctly, ensure that your fingers are close but not actually touching the frets – this will yield optimal sound quality. Also take care not to finger a string that’s muffled by strings above it as this will lead to muted chords sounding muted. Finally, practice each string/note separately prior to trying them together into one chord.

ANG HULING EL BIMBO THE MUSICAL is an incredible theatrical production that will remain fresh in your memory long after the curtain closes. This riveting play follows Hector, Emman, and Anthony through adulthood until Ligaya reenters their lives forcing them to make amends for past mistakes while discovering more about friendship and love.
Eraserheads songs from their timeless catalog are intertwined into the play’s narrative, producing large production numbers which showcase both singing and dancing talent from its cast. Furthermore, set design is used to evoke certain emotions or even signal passage of time.
Gian Magdangal stole the show as Hector, while OJ Mariano and Katrine Sunga made strong impressions as Emman and Antony respectively. Paw Castillo and Topper Fabregas performed magnificently too! Produced by Fullhouse Theater Company in partnership with Newport World Resorts, Ang Huling El Bimbo will run until June at Newport Performing Arts Theater.

At an early point in The Last of Us Part II, Joel gives Ellie her first guitar – giving Pinoy gamers an opportunity to have her perform some classic OPM tunes such as “Ama Namin” and ang Eraserheads’ hit “Huling El Bimbo”.
Above are examples of chords starting with an A note on the 4th string; you can adjust their positioning on the fretboard by moving up or down two frets for different chords; for instance, shifting all fingering patterns down two frets will result in G type chords.
Be warned, however, as these chords will put undue strain on your little finger. Be patient as your fingers heal between practice sessions; use a capo to avoid damaging strings; the best way to learn is listening to songs with these four chords gradually and working your way towards mastery.
