| Article Title :: How to Choose and Buy an Acoustic Guitar |
| |
|
Knowing how to choose the right guitar and how to identify a bad
one will save you from countless headaches, not to mention
finger aches. Also, choosing the right acoustic can be tough,
especially these days, when there are so many styles to choose
from.
Acoustic guitar bodies come in basically the same shape, with
some variations, but they do vary in size, colour, wood-type,
style, and extra features. You can even buy an acoustic guitar
so small that fits into a hiking backpack.
The most common type of guitar in use today is the folk-style of
guitar. This is the guitar you will see played around most
campfires and parties, and is the one found in most music
groups, church choirs, and in (read full article) |

Don't practice. Dress funny.
Seriously. That's why we watch. We love to see you struggle,
embarrass yourselves & get tortured by Simon.
Come on, admit it. You like it too, right?
Sure, Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson made us cheer and dial the
phone until our fingers were raw (I nearly cried when my pick
for 2004, Fantasia Barrino, won), but the real joy comes from
watching those of you who don't have a chance.
Who will forget William Hung's painful, yet stoic audition?
It'll go down in history as one of the best moments on TV.
But, have you ever wondered why we find pleasure in seeing
others fail so miserably in public?
The answer is simple: "There but for the grace of God, go I". (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Sending Your Demo. Doing it Right |
| |
|
Tip #1 - Put your contact information on everything.
This may sound simple but it is one of the biggest mistakes
people make when they send me demos. Use a clear font like Arial
or NY Time Roman at decent size. If you are sending a CD make
sure the CD is clearly labeled with your name, phone number,
email address and website if you have one. This same information
should appear on your business card if you have one as well.
Make sure if your sending a picture you include your information
on that as well. Most professional headshots can have your name
and contact info at the bottom of the photo. If you cant afford
big time photography at least right your contact info on the
back of th (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Your Only As Good As Your Drum Sounds |
| |
|
No matter what kind of beats your making your going to need some
hard hitting in your face drum sounds. There are a lot of ways
to beef up your drum sounds especially when your in a million
dollar studio paying some engineer a hundred dollars an hour to
mix your track. Until that day you'll need to come up with some
cheaper and more creative solutions to your problem.
Building your own custom drum kits. Every producer has their
own signature drum sound. This signature sound comes from many
hours of sound searching and programming. Building your own
library of sounds, and samples, drum sounds or otherwise is
essential. You can get your sounds from any place, records, CDs,
sample libraries (read full article) |

|
There have been some great introductions of technology in the
past, but the Oakley Thumps have to be one technological
creation that really takes eyewear to the next level.
Be sure that when Oakley comes out with a new sunglass product,
they go above and beyond most expectations, and in my eyes,
these are the Donald "Thumps" of the introduction of
entertaining in eyewear industry. What's next, music downloads
stations at your local bus stops? (You read it here first)
If you love to listen to your favorite music tunes while biking,

| Article Title :: Guitar lesson: How To Improvise The Classical Guitar Way |
| |
|
When I was a fifteen years old guitarist playing rock solos and
classical guitar pieces I remember that I had a desire to be
able to improvise on my guitar in a classical manner.
Nowadays I have developed this skill and I love to improvise in
the style of composers like Sor, Tarrega, Paganini or others or
just trying to find myself somewhere among the notes. These
special moments are a form of meditation. They clear my mind and
also helps me as a composer to stimulate my creative abilities.
The most important reason for learning classical guitar
improvisation is that it's fun!
If you learn classical guitar improvisation it will benefit you
in many other ways too:
1. It will be easier fo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: WHAT IS AN ARPEGGIO? |
| |
|
Perhaps you have heard the word arpeggio being tossed around by
other musicians, but have absolutely no clue what they were
talking about. Simply defined, an arpeggio refers to playing the
notes within a chord in rapid succession. On the guitar, this
can be done by either using a pick or your fingers.
Incorporating arpeggios into your guitar playing can be a very
simple matter, or a very complicated one, depending on your
approach to the subject. Because I am a guitar teacher, I
generally try to find ways to introduce my students to new
techniques that are easy to understand and relatively easy to
do. So let's see if I can help you learn how to play an arpeggio
today.

| Article Title :: Learn To Play Guitar - Tab, Bass, tablature, chords and strings |
| |
|
Guitar is a musical instrument strung with gut strings having a
body with a flat back, graceful incurvarions etc. and for
playing, it is twanged by the fingers. It is called in French as
guilarre, German as Guitarre, Italian as cijitarra and in
Spanish as guitarra. The construction of the instrument is of
paramount importance in assigning to the guitar its true
position in the history of musical instruments, midway between
the cithara and the violin.
Materials Used
The back and ribs of guitar are comprised of maple, ash or
cherry-wood, frequently inlaid with rose-wood, mother of pearl,
tortoise-shell etc. while the sound board is of pine and has one
large ornamental rose sound hole. The (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Music and Culture |
| |
|
Since the beginning of time, the world has had a fascination
with music. It has been at the forefront of every social
gathering and in every society. Music has a way of setting a
tone for any venue, and whether it includes lyrics or not, it
speaks to all of us.
It seems as though every culture in the world has its own
preferred style of music. The rhythms are developed through
generations, and seem to evolve in never-ending chain. However,
despite all of its evolution, each culture still is able to
maintain its own style, and heritage.
Much like speech, music has a way of changing to suit its own
society, yet still maintain its base. If you look at the
differences in American music, you c (read full article) |
