How To Start Your Own Band

by Kathy Unruh

From time to time a guitar student will express a desire to be in a band

one day. If this is your ambition too, then read on. If you're a guitarist

or not is immaterial. If you're a singer or a musician of talent, the

question is, you will be in a band? In this section you will find some

helpful ideas on getting started in this direction.

One of the first things you need to do is to gain exposure for you. This

can be as easy as following three simple steps:

1. Who knows you want to start a band.

(Word of mouth is one of the best advertising strategies)

2. Make a flyer to put up around the city (in music stores, schools, on

billboards, etc.)

3. Place an ad in all local newspapers

Here's an example of something that you could say your advertising:

"The guitarist looking for people interested in starting a Christian rock

group. Looking for a singer, guitarist, bassist and drummer. The focus will

be on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through music. If you have a

desire to use your gifts of music in this way, please call (insert your

name and phone number) for an interview. "

You can make this announcement, as detailed and generic as you need. The

important thing is to have a clear idea of your mind that you want in your

group. Need a bassist, singer, drummer ...? What kind of qualifications or

experience that you expect? Is age a factor? Note that a list of questions

and keep near the phone. When you call someone, you're ready to have the

right to interview on site.

Try to make your questions require a yes or no answer, or a very short

response. In this way, it will be easier for you to take notes. If someone

looks like a good potential partner Band, getting their phone number and

tell them that you want back once you have your interviews.

Try not to wait too long (between 2-4 weeks), if possible. When you're

ready, review your notes and decide who you want to call. Set a time that

is convenient for those who have chosen to respond to the chosen location.

This is important if you want to establish yourself as the author of the

band, to maintain its influence on the direction.

Let me add a word of caution here. It is recommended to "play safe", it

invites you to your home until you get to know them a bit 'better. After

all, they are foreigners, but it's your call, of course.

You want to keep the first meeting in May with members of the new group of

very low key. Use the time to make introductions, share past experiences,

set goals, discuss ideas, etc. This will give you an opportunity to measure

whether you think each person will be able to work together and agree.

Avoid egocentric people like the plague, because it will only create

friction with other band members. To assess all fairly, but realistically.

It 'best to get rid of a rotten apple in one go, rather than allowing them

to ruin the excitement for the rest of the group.

After the meeting first band, you can point to the next by an informal jam

session. Right now, you can get an idea of whether the group gel or not.

But do not be too hasty in your decisions! I remember once "auditioned" for

a group and be aware that I could just relax and enjoy the experience. Was

a local group that was known a few years and often wanted to be a part.

Even though I had already gained considerable experience in building hand,

was different. And 'Someone else' thing. Nothing seems to go well!

After I returned home that evening, I was sure to remember. The surprise

was, they did! However, the second time was not much better, but have

decided to give me another chance and invited me to return once more. It 'a

good thing for me, for the third time was the charm. Our voices and music

blended so perfectly that I knew was, I share this story so you can give

your young band again just to take off. If nothing seems to trigger a spark

after having given a good amount of time, then you might want to reconsider

your options. It's something that you will be able to determine.

Well, that's all to do really. Once you have the elite members of your

party, you're ready to start making music! If you have some original songs,

be sure to share with others. See if someone else in the band wrote songs,

too. Be open, honest and willing to do almost everything. If you set your

priorities first, will help you stay focused for all the ups and downs as

in May. And always remember: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

How to Create Your Own Indie Artist Press Release

by Kathy Unruh

Creating a press release can be one of the best ways for an independent

artist or band to earn some 'instant media exposure for themselves. And you

know, like me, that exposure is the name of the game nowadays.

Although the global network has opened up many new possibilities for

independent artists, the competition can be daunting. So if you have any

news worthy of the editor (ie a new CD for sale, or a concert of saliva,

etc.), then a press release can be just the ticket to give you an

advantage. It will provide the necessary publicity so people know who you

are, so that your music is heard.

To make the best first impression to your readers, your press release

should be well written, informative and developed. Be careful not to lose

the attention of your readers, adding too many unnecessary details.

Sticking to the facts, explaining who you are and what you have to offer.

In general, I prefer to write a story in third person, when I create my own

press release. In asking me questions of a journalist can ask me, I am able

to think more freely and objectively.

Examples of questions to ask and answer:

[Reporter] - Who are you: What is the name of your group?

[Band] - We have decided to call our group "Tangerine Sunshine".

[R] - What kind of music you play?

[B] - This is a bit 'eclectic and difficult to define a kind of mixture

between alternative and rap.

[R] - I heard just recorded a new CD. When it is available to the public?

[B] - Yes, it's called "Mixed Emotions" and we are really happy with how it

happened. Will be available next week.

[R] - Where can I obtain a copy of the CD?

[B] - will be available on our website (URL) and various other retail

outlets (identify).

[R] Super! How many songs are on your album?

[B] Twelve.

[R] - Why did you choose "Tangerine Sunshine" for a name?

[B] - We love the colorful and positive image that it represents.

Of course, all the names mentioned above are fictitious and illustration

are only meant to show how you could organize the information you want

included in your press release. It can be modified in various ways

according to their needs. Once the fictional reporter has gathered all the

facts, you're ready to write.

Here's a simple scheme to use:

THE ONE

One of the most important is to start the press release with a catchy

title. We want to make sure that will draw the reader's attention right

from the start.

FIRST ITEM

Obtain the information that (name of your group, etc.) and what you have to

offer the first paragraph. Keep the who, what, when, where, why and how the

questions before you write will help stimulate the creative process.

POINT

In the second paragraph of the release, you can go into more detail

shortly. You may want to describe the style of your music, or say something

more about upcoming events. If yes, is the place to do it.

Third paragraph

In this third and last section can briefly say something about other people

who have participated in a project or event. Whatever you are not covered

in your press release yet, but I feel it is important, you can add here.

Please include all contact information you have, including a Web address or

e-mail.

When your release is ready, after checking the spelling errors in

typography and grammar, go ahead and post it on your site and / or your

blog. Send it to as many sites as you can find free PR. Mi2n.com is good

for musicians and independent artists to begin.

You should also send the press release with a letter to all local

newspapers in your area. Put "Attention: Editor" above the address on the

envelope and, if possible, a photograph.

Remember to send an email to all your friends, relatives and neighbors too.

This is your moment to shine, so as to reach the stars!

How long does it take to learn the guitar?

by Ian Fraser

Although we can never fully "learn guitar" complete beginners, many wonder

how long until they are good enough to play a song or jam with friends. As

each person learns a little 'different, and not everyone uses the same

method, which can vary from months to a couple of years for a beginner is

considered good.

This article will give some basic guidelines on what you need to know when

to start, how long it might take to learn these skills and what are the

options available to you to learn guitar.

Starting Out

Beginners have to build a solid base. Learning to hold the guitar properly,

having proper positioning of left and right and how to tune your guitar are

just some of the basics needed to learn. These techniques can be learned in

a few days, but it takes a while 'for his constant practice to feel

comfortable.

Learning the Strings

Know the names of each channel and the basic notes on each of the first

keys should be the next step. Once again, the basic learning does not take

long here, but the storage and practice notes that will take time.

Basic Chords

Most of the songs composed by some very simple chord structures you learn

once you know the basic agreements. This is the beginning of the real "meat

and potatoes" to learn the guitar. It can last from 1 to 6 months to master

the basic agreements, the transition between them and the different

techniques of strumming.

For beginners is that the practice becomes very important. The only way to

get a good transition between the strings and strumming is practice,

practice, practice.

Scale

As you learn agreements should also start to learn the major and minor

scales in first position. Scale of learning is a matter of storage, and

play the notes is very useful. Scales are the key to playing the guitar

after more songs you can choose to learn and understand how to build an

agreement.

Barre Chords

Barre agreements are the next step, after the basic agreements. Beginners

sometimes have difficulty with the agreements bar and because the technique

is practiced for its correctness. Stick with it you will discover a whole

new set of sounds and options.

At this point it is likely that starting about a year or more to control

the issue. Of course, as is often the practice and instruction has much to

do with how quickly you learn.

Options for Learning Skills Beginner Guitar

Thanks to the Internet, we now have more options than ever to learn to play

guitar. Guitar lessons for beginners are available on DVD, online video,

books, CDs and, of course, through a private-to-one lessons as well.

The car has some advantages compared to take private lessons, such as

freedom to practice and learn at your own pace, and lower costs. Of course,

it takes a disciplined person to keep the program always choose to learn

with.

I suggest using one guitar lessons or the quality of belonging lesson dvd

online video, if you have a lesson plan to follow if you choose to learn

about yourself.

Private guitar lessons are very structured and help you to follow when

learning. One of the biggest problems of self guitarists have learned is

that they do not learn the techniques as important as the theory, scales

and chords that leads to the summit. Because of this plateau in their

learning much earlier.

Private lessons offer the advantage of giving you one-on-one attention with

a professional guitar, and someone to ask questions if you are stuck. Of

course, with a hectic lifestyle of today, the adults, in particular, may

find it difficult to be able to attend a private guitar lesson every week.

For these people, I suggest a program like a video on-line site for

membership or a guitar lesson DVD home study program. Both alternatives

will allow you to learn what is important at the right time.

No matter how you choose to learn will be at least a year before you feel

confident as a guitarist. Remember, learning never stops and it is

important to continue to practice and learn new concepts, techniques and

styles.

Resonator Guitars: A new beginning?

by Dene Lingard

Each variety of stringed instruments inspired the musicians to concentrate

on little else in their lives. In addition to those who play keyboards,

violin or standard tuning on a guitar with six strings, there are some

unique slide their way around a resonator with a special joy. Some choose

the square neckline and play with the instrument on his lap. Others have a

talent for playing an instrument with a round collar and play in the

position of stand-up. Many fans resonator are comfortable with a style, but

for them there is such an instrument.

Finding a quality resonator and work with a competent professional may seem

more difficult now that the center of London Resonator closed. But now

there is a gap in the market for those who want to help the world's

resonator guitar for professionals and those who want to learn to play

guitar. The number of musicians to dedicate their lives to the boat is

strong and growing stronger. These young players like Derek Trucks, son of

Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, made use of the instrument. Further

Mo ', and Keb' build their careers around the beautiful new instruments,

vintage guitars and Dobros or more national. Independent luthiers and

guitar manufacturers continue to produce quality instruments for musicians

who need a place to get the best tools and knowledge.

For younger players who want to learn the steps for beginners in this

particular type of guitar, resonator Ozark online is a comfortable price

range. The purchase of a first tool from 300 to 350 pounds (or $ 300 to $

500US range) is often recommended and Ozark yielding instruments that meet

this requirement.

Moving a bit 'on the ladder a bit' more experienced player might choose /

Goldtone Paul Beard Online. Perfect craftsmanship and installation Beard

guitars are part of each instrument. Guitars in this category resonators

Michael Messer, excellent tools for the price range.

If this is a traditional name and the quality of construction is following

looking for a classic name and manufacturing, backed by a strong name,

Dobro is a good option. [The Dobro name / label is now owned by the Gibson

company and the instruments are played by Gibson Phil Leadbetter.]

Are proposed Belle Dobro, arts and crafts workshop in Paris by Michael

of this caliber is not new for the new.

A beginner is advised to work with a guitar shop to find a good start

resonator great and become familiar with the pentatonic scale, widely used

How To Change Your Guitar Strings

by Kathy Unruh

Change your guitar strings might make you feel a little 'uncomfortable at

first, especially if you've never done before! But it is very simple and

should become an integral part of guitar maintenance. First, though, the

time to make some personal observations such as:

* Which way should you turn the tuning keys to tighten or loosen the

strings of the guitar?
* How are aligned from the nut to the bridge?
* Where is the heaviest?

Taking mental notes will probably save you some frustration and make the

job much easier in the long term.

I would like to remove all the strings of the guitar during the process to

give my guitar a thorough cleaning, but you can delete them one at a time,

if you prefer. Below you will find some useful step by step instructions.

Once you've made a couple of times your confidence starts to grow and

should not be necessary to refer to these passages.

when you're done.

RE-STRINGING YOUR GUITAR

Acoustic Guitar (Acoustic Strings Try)

1. Bend the end of the chain of balls of light and place it in the hole

under the bridge. Some acoustic guitars are not pin. When this happens,

just pull into the hole.

2. Align the grooves of the chain pin. Insert the pin into the hole, making

sure it is safe.

3. Take the other end and plug the hole on the capstan.

4. Pull it through leaving a fair amount of spring between the winch and

the deck.

5. Fold the rope at the point where it comes through the capstan to keep it

secure.

6. Look beyond your eyes begin to turn the key in your left hand.

7. As you are winding, apply tension to the rope with his right hand to

help keep it taught. Be sure to roll in the right direction! On the bass

strings, you will be winding counter-clockwise (away from you). On the

ropes going in the opposite direction.

8. Continue to wind each string until all the relay is taken. Do not worry

about tuning yet.

maintaining some tension with the others until all of the relay is taken.

With a classical guitar, we will proceed to closing in a clockwise

direction on the bass strings and treble.

8. Keep the guitar strings as straight as possible to continue the winch

through the die and down the neck.

9. You should not have any excess string length, but if you made the cut.

Electric Guitars (Electric Strings Get Here)

Follow the same procedure described for the acoustic guitar.

Your First Guitar

by Kathy Unruh

Congratulations, you just bought your first guitar! Now that you've met the

love of your life and the fact that the great effort, you're probably

excited about building a good relationship with your new partner. But where

to start? 've Just returned home music store with this beautiful and

mysterious stranger, or perhaps even rescued an abandoned orphan flea

market or pawn shop. Rocking with the love in your hands, you admire its

elegant form and captivating voice. Before asking a few items that you

purchased and the purchase of a case, strap, picks, and, of course, that

the book or video explaining "everything you need to know in 10 easy

lessons." You do not look to see, wondering what is lanquage.

This is often the experience of a passionate new guitar. "Love at first

sight" generates great hope to play like a rock star overnight. Then the

reality begins to sink and reallize will require some effort and work hard

to get there! But this does not mean that it can be fun. A positive

attitude will go a long way to helping you achieve your goals. In fact, do

well in the short term and long-term goals is one of the first things you

should do. Here are some suggestions:

GET TO KNOW YOUR guitar

- Familiarity with the parts Become
- Remember that the name of each channel and how they are numbered
- Understand what kind of guitar you
- Learn to take care of your instrument

GET TO KNOW YOURSELF

- What kind of music do you like?
- Do you sing?
- Want to be in a band or play professionally someday?
- You want to play for your own pleasure?

I often receive requests for help from people who are frustrated because

they have difficulty understanding the book or video that accompanies their

purchase. If this is your case, consider some lessons with a private tutor.

It can be a great way to move in the right direction. If you configure a

guitar lesson a week, then probably start to establish a regular practice

routine too much. Why you feel a sense of obligation and responsibility to

your teacher. A teacher can also watch your progress and offer helpful

advice and criticism so that you will be able to develop good technique.

This is a priceless asset that is very unlikely that taking a book or a

video.

Local music stores often have someone who teaches right from their shop, or

they may be able to provide a list of teachers in your area. If there is a

college or university nearby, be sure to check the boards and school

newspapers. You can also contact the Department of Music to see if they

know of instructors who offer private lessons in May or after school hours

during school.

Above all, remember to take the time to take stock "small staff" and to

know the tool to answer the questions in this section. Then you will be

able to establish a good mental picture of where you are and where you want

to be in the future.

Buying a guitar : Do You Know What To Look For?

by Kathy Unruh

If you're thinking of buying a guitar, you need to know what to look for.

There are many different types, styles, colors, brands and models to choose

from. The question is, what is the right choice for you? How much should

you spend?

If you're not careful you might end up spending much more than you really

need. On the other hand, get a "deal" you can also get a lemon. Here are

some important issues to consider before making a purchase.

The basic skills needed to play the guitar are the same whatever the style

of music you like. However, if you're thinking of buying a guitar, there

are some tools are more suited to a particular style of others. Knowing

your personal taste in music can help you decide whether you should buy an

electric or an acoustic instrument.

For example, if you want to Rock'n Roll or jazz music, an electric guitar

would be a good choice. Acoustics is suitable for those who prefer

bluegrass, folk and classical music. In view of these things into

consideration before buying can help you avoid costly mistakes.

If you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced guitar player?

When it comes to buying a guitar for beginners, usually recommend or a

classical guitar or electric, because they are easier for the fingers.

Students with small hands might consider a dimension of 1 / 2 or 3 / 4

acoustic or classical instrument.

Musical style, personal preference, quality and price are the key factors

to consider when buying a guitar for intermediate players and advanced.

What is the sound quality of the instrument?

Tonal quality refers to the guitar sound unique individual. When you

scratch the strings or play the currently playing and what you hear? This

is a deep, bright, soft, matte, metallic? The instrument should resonate

(transmit the total quality of their vibrant sound quality) clearly.

How are the facts?

The action of a guitar refers to how high or low the strings are attached

to the handle. This will greatly affect the playability. If the strings are

too high it will be difficult to push down and you work harder than

necessary to play the instrument. On the other hand, if the strings are too

low, it is likely to interfere with the keys, which can cause a buzz when

you play.

You should check each box carefully before buying a guitar. This can be

done using a string or bar and the first finger of his left hand to play

each chord in each box at the top and bottom of the neck. Have you here any

buzzes? If the sound of the guitar in the air at any moment? It is easy to

push the rope down? If you are not sure how to verify the action, then I

suggest you take someone who plays the guitar with you when shopping.

Is the neck straight?

If the neck is straight, the intonation will be consistent. This means that

when a specific note or agreement took place in various locations along the

neck, which will remain in tune. If the note or chord played badly in

several places, then the neck can be twisted or warped. You can check the

neck, looking at the edges. From the lower part of the body and continue on

at the base of the head. You should see a straight line. If you do not like

the neck in May are bent, twisted, or warped.

How does the neck feel in your hand?

Packages come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so you'll need to determine

what is comfortable for you. Some necks are round and have a certain angle

V-shape to them. When you cradle your neck in your hand is aware of the

adjustment. Thin neck tend to be easier for small hands, but generally are

not as strong as heavier. For example, 12-string guitar has a neck heavier

than the 6 strings. Buying a guitar is the right size for your hand can be

a factor in developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

How much are you willing to spend?

If you are a beginner, you really should not have to spend a lot of money

when buying a guitar. Knowing what your budget allows, you can help

accelerate the process itself. If you only have $ 200 to spend, do not

waste time looking at the more expensive models. You can always upgrade

later, after having had enough time to explore his musical interests. I

personally own 9 or 10 guitars and there's always room for another! Be

realistic about your needs and keep these issues in mind when shopping.

Better yet, print and take with you.

Guitar Practice (Part 2) : Make perfect practice does not?

by Kathy Unruh

You've probably heard the expression "practice makes perfect" and it seems

true enough, but is it really? We all know the importance of practicing a

new skill in order to be effective. This is particularly true when playing

the guitar or other musical instrument for that matter.

But for practicing incorrectly can actually be detrimental to your

progress. How do you say? Why you continue to reinforce what we practice.

So if you always practice doing something wrong, you end up with an

incorrect result.

For example, if the practice of holding hands in a bad position, he will

become a habit that will be difficult to correct. Malposition of a right or

left hand during practice the guitar can create tensions, which makes

certain techniques more difficult to perform. Hand position improperly may

also increase the possibility of developing lesions are quite common for

musicians, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a very debilitating

wrist injury that can take your guitar playing to a full stop. When you

practice, using a "cable" by hand instead of a "flat" rather than helping

to promote good posture relaxed.

Another problem for some students regarding the practice, the guitar is the

rhythm. The pace is so fundamental to all aspects of music that I really

can not stress its importance enough. If you can read music is not the

problem. But you absolutely must try to learn to count beats in a given

measure of music to play the part correctly. If you can not keep time, no

one will really be able to say what you play anyway. It will be very

difficult for you to play in groups or with other musicians who just want

to "jam".

Speed is a major practical obstacles that I see in my students. When speed

is king, the pace and timing are often sacrificed. It is absolutely

necessary to slow to correctly interpret the time, especially if it is a

guide lick or strumming pattern.

The speed also affects the joints, which simply means "to pronounce

distinctly. What good if you can play something real fast, but it's not

wrong, who will be affected by this? Instead, take your time and play each

tone to clear a speed that is comfortable for you.

Try using a metronome or drum machine to set a time. Then came the practice

of "short", one section at a time. Continue to increase the speed until you

can play the whole lick, riff or measure, etc., at their own pace. But do

not sacrifice the hand position, rhythm and articulation in the process.

These three things that should be the priority, in practice the guitar.

After they have been established, work on speed or tempo of the music.

Knowing what is the position of the fingers to use when playing notes on

the keyboard is also important. If you use a fortuitous or accidental,

you'll probably become confused and disoriented, as you start to move. I

tell my students that the new guitar is "upside down and backwards to give

them an idea of what they are facing when it comes to learning the notes on

the keyboard. This means that the guitar is played both horizontally

vertically, in contrast with the piano is a linear. learning to read notes

on the guitar, you need to flip upside down to fit a pattern handle. Down

is up and up is down by referring to management and as it refers to 'the

height of each string.

To summarize:

1. Start slowly
2. Develop a relaxed "cava" hand position
4. Learning to interpret the rhythm (time)
5. Focus on articulation (clarity)
6. Gradually increase the speed (time)

So it is true that "practice makes perfect" if you learn to develop a

"perfect" practice routine. To do this, you will need to work to establish

priorities and develop habits of good practice. Know that we have time to

become a good musician, so do not rush the process, however, embrace and

enjoy. If you keep these ideas in mind, you should see an improvement, the

continued growth of your overall game in a relatively short time. You will

also discover that when you develop good habits, you automatically develop

good technique. After establishing a good technique, playing the guitar

seems a lot easier and make the whole long-term value.

Guitar Practice - (Part 1) : Make It Your Priority!

by Kathy Unruh

Every student realizes that guitar practice is important if they wish to

become a better musician. Even so, many have difficulty establishing a

routine of regular practice. Other responsibilities have a way to squeeze

in a job, a lifestyle Holic, leaving little room left for personal reasons.

Even teenagers and children are over-fished in these days with school and

other extra-curricular activities. So what is the secret of creating an

effective guitar practice schedule? The answer: MAKE YOUR PRIORITY!

This may seem simple to some and not others, but it is absolutely essential

to becoming a good guitarist. Priority means something only to put

everything in order of time and importance. Now, it's increasingly easier

to set priorities when there is a desire to perform or achieve a particular

result. So, with one goal in mind when you practice the guitar will help

you stay focused and give a sense of purpose.

According to the Scribner-Bantam English Dictionary, the word "practice"

means:

- For work or pursue a profession
- Carry out often to learn
- To teach by frequent repetitions, exercise

To make your guitar practice a priority, try to think about how you would

do with your work or school work. I do not mean that this should be a

hassle, but an important need. Schedule a time each day to practice your

guitar, and sticking to it. Be firm in your decision. Mark in your diary or

on your calendar. You start to see an overall improvement in your ability

when you practice the guitar on a regular basis.

There will be times when you feel like jumping and other times when there

seem to be going nowhere. But understand that the guitar is one of the most

difficult to become truly competent, then you will need to guard against

discouragement. I have a friend who plays piano, cello and violin. Decided

to take the classical guitar and has confessed that he was the most

difficult I've ever tried to learn. So please record your progress for

personal encouragement and an incentive to persevere.

The commitment and determination are two of the most important keys to the

pursuit of success. Talent and natural abilities a definite plus, but many

talented students lack the discipline of the guitar. To succeed you must

How to reduce Comments When You Play

by Elmore MUSIC

If you've played live on stage or even a casual jam with your friends to

test a group - one of the most annoying things guitarists have a thing

called FEEDBACK!

If you do not know what information is - is that its terrible steep slope

coming from the speakers.

Usually happens when you place the microphone too close to speakers or play

the guitar directly in front of the amplifier.

Not only does this damage your ears, but it puts the audience off when they

hear you play!
Now I am not an expert on reaction dynamics. But I played on stage several

times and I learned some tricks to avoid feedback to occur ...

The first step is to lower your high of your amp. Too acute invites

feedback so do not too high in the settings of your amp.

The second step is to lower the volume of the guitar for only 3 / 4. Do not

turn the volume up full as this is invites huge feedback! Always leave a

little space on the volume, so as not to put all the way up. Only 3 / 4 and

I guarantee that you reduce feedback at least 80% with this thing.

Another trick is to reduce the gain or distortion on your amp. When you

play softly, you can turn your gain or distortion full. But when you start

playing with some serious volume, turn your gain only 50%.

'll Always get the same noise and distortion, but the trick is to avoid

reactions occur when you play hard.

Finally, if you use an effects pedal, turn on only 3 / 4 Road. Like your

guitar - always leave a little leeway as it offers greater control over

noise and keeps your game tight!

I remember this - if you keep the volume control, reduce the level of

feedback and have a sound much closer, as on all bands. If you implement a

whole and try to dominate the world - you look a mess and out of control.

Tips for Using a metronome

by Kathy Unruh

For some of you, the idea of using a metronome can evoke old memories of piano lessons before. If the experience was unpleasant, as you may have developed some ideas auget accordingly. Maybe I can help dispel misconceptions that may have to explain how a metronome can be used to develop your playing guitar.

For those of you who have no idea what I mean, a metronome is a tool that is used to click on a specific time interval in a given piece of music. The time can be adjusted to suit any airspeed, which is proposed for a given composition or exercise. They come in a variety of types and sizes too. Everything from a large wind-up pendulum metronome for a small pocket-sized digital only with lights that flash every time, are available.

Free Online Metronome - Click here ...

As a guitarist, one of the highest priority must be to learn to count the time correctly. A metronome can do wonders to help you develop a rhythmic feel more consistent. It can be used to perform simple exercises (such as scales or licks) or help to know a little 'harder on the guitar, both classical, jazz, rock or something.

When you use a metronome, set the click on the quarter beat (or Beat Down), the music. This will make it much easier for you to count the time. In other words, when using a rate of 4 / 4 (no matter if you play sound quarter, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc.), click to select the sound four beats per measure.

Is usually easier to start learning a new song by setting the time at a speed that can be given a piece of music you play. This is particularly important if you are a beginner with a metronome, as it may seem a bit 'strange at first! Definition of a slower tempo will give you time to draw the fingering on the guitar and learn to recognize the Down Beat. Be patient with yourself.

With a little 'practice you begin to feel comfortable with a metronome. Be persistent and very soon you will see a significant improvement in your reading. After all ... It 'only a matter of time:)

HISTORY OF THE BLUES GUITAR

by Jamplay.com

BLUES HISTORY:

The blues is a musical style created in response to the hardships endured by generations of African people American. She was born in rural Mississippi Delta in the 20th century. Descendants of earlier work shouts (Arhoolie), the blues is primarily a narrative voice with the solo voice with instrumental accompaniment. Blues has contributed significantly to the development of jazz, rock and country and western music.

Blues Form

In 1920 blues style he had acquired his distinctive features of the text, the harmonic structure and melodic form. Blues lyrics contain a series of three-line stanzas in rhyme, in which each stanza consists of a verse is repeated and then concluded by a final line. The harmony is based on a blues progression repeated agreements with a model of 12 bar with the three main agreements of a ladder. Each stanza of the text is subjected to a chorus of 12 bars, with the typical blues ranging from four to eight stanzas in length.

The melody is strongly influenced by the "blues notes that sound like" Bent "or flattened third, fifth, and seventh notes of the major scale. Note blues have a bittersweet emotional impact. Although items are the focus, the actors often improvise instrumental solos on blues chord progressions. In addition, artists can also contribute improvised "fills" at the end of a line to sing in a sort of "call and response" style. A musical innovation was the development of the slide "bottleneck" style of guitar playing, which involves scraping a knife or a glass bottle to simulate key guitar moans and vocal slides.

Country Blues

The oldest blues, country or blues known as the delta, are the result of the experience of 19th century rural South, particularly after the emancipation. Itinerant singer / guitarist (and harmonica players), usually men, have traveled from one community to another song of love, freedom, sex and the sorrows of life. Important early musicians include Charlie Patton, Son House (who developed the technique bottleneck slide), and Robert Johnson.

Classic Blues

As rural African Americans migrated to urban areas like Memphis and New Orleans in search of work, the blues has become increasingly an urban phenomenon. Classic urban blues singer or male or female, usually accompanied by a piano or a jazz combo together. Capitalizing on the growing popularity of urban blues, the music industry began publishing and marketing for the blues compositions like "Blues WC Handy, St. Louis (1914). These songs have been so successful that many popular songs, which do not were actually just added the word blues blues for the title for their popularity.

New York vaudeville singer Mamie Smith's 1920 recording of "Crazy Blues" launched the recording of "race" in the industry, which has approved the blues and jazz directly from the public African-American. These recordings proved popular with the American public and the greatest, and recordings of blues artists like Bessie Smith, "Empress of the Blues," Jelly Roll Morton, Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and Louis Armstrong dominated the music scene. Blues around the country could be heard in small dance halls, inn, rent parties, and juke joints, where new styles, such as "Barrelhouse" and the boogie-woogie were performed by pianists as Clarence "Pine Top" Smith.

Electric Blues

After the Second World War, the business center of the blues moved in cities like Chicago, where musicians like Muddy Waters, Riley "BB King and Buddy Guy stepped up, amplifying the sound of guitars and adding more weight to the battery. In During 1950, this style was adapted by white musicians as well, and rhythm and blues hits were often re-recorded ( "Object") by white musicians like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley, transforming rhythm and blues rock and roll. A decade later, the English musicians like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton returns to the roots of the blues, as the source of their strongly amplified hard rock style.

Although much of the energy was channeled into the blues rock and rhythm and blues styles, from traditional blues musicians like John Lee Hooker, Etta Baker, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and enjoy a successful career. Blues has also become a major force in contemporary music through an innovative style and rock by Robert Cray, and the roots of jazz with musicians associated with Wynton Marsalis (see the Marsalis family), the sound of zydeco, and some rap groups.

Online Guitar Lessons

With the old, the new online guitar lessons are revolutionizing the way the world is learning to play. Streaming video gave people the ability to learn from the comfort of your own home, whenever they want. In this article I will mention the main advantages and disadvantages of this method.

Advantage: Convenience

It 'hard to give a price. Imagine how your life would be nice if we could do at home: shop, work, learn, exercise, etc. With Internet speeds increasing, education at home is no longer an illusory future. High quality video are now able to be streamed to you, to your PC.

JamPlay SITE TOUR

The traditional methods of guitar lessons require students to attend school or study for lessons. With a minute 30 / commute 30 miles each way, you can plan on burning an hour of your time and a bit 'of gas just to get the lesson. Also, you should pack your guitar, amps, pedals and other equipment. You are also required to arrange an appointment. Lessons on-line, you can take lessons when you want, without having to go anywhere, there are no restrictions.

Benefit: Choose your instructor

With a guitar lesson on-line, as JamPlay, you are presented with a variety of instructors. You can read the biography of each of them and look at some examples of classes to decide which person is the best solution for you. You can see all the lessons from any instructor when you want - there is no limitation.

Beyond the call of the personality of each monitor, you should think about their style of teaching. You may like the way a person acts, but their style may not mesh well with the way you learn. Some teachers are visual, while others are in the hands. The instructors are usually very gender-specific. It 'rare to find someone who knows different styles and rear (such as metal, bluegrass and blues). With a site like JamPlay, you can learn all these styles, check out other instructors.

Advantage: You can adjust the lesson flexible

There's nothing more irritating to hear only what someone else wants to teach. Sometimes a teacher will be very stubborn and teach the same curriculum regardless of what the student prefers. This makes a rather boring lecture and takes a lot of fun out of the learning experience. With the multi-instructor with lessons on-line, you can pick and choose exactly what you want to learn. Unlike other methods (books, DVDs, in person), allow us to decide what you learn, you decide, we teach.

Advantage: very convenient

One of the most important things to consider is the value. Nobody wants to spend a lot of money to learn to play guitar. Through personalized teaching, you are looking for between $ 20 to $ 60 per half hour lesson.

The business model for an online membership site allows the company to provide more content for less money. For example, suppose for a total of 100 members who pay $ 10 each. This means that they produce $ 1000 of income. They can then use the revenue for the movie even more lessons. It is impossible for a teacher to teach 100 different people a few lessons every month. This time, recorded with the use of computers allows the company to serve customers more with less overhead.

As a customer, you get an incredible value. You will receive dozens of hours of instruction for only $ 19.95. Compare that to a half hour of instruction for the same price (if you can find a professor at low prices) and the figures speak for themselves.

Disadvantage: less extensive Interaction

If you take lessons with an instructor a person, you are instantly able to ask questions about a lesson / technique and receive an immediate response. This type of interaction is a valuable tool for learning to play.

To help fill this gap, JamPlay has launched a new concept: Video Q & A. If you have a question about anything, you can send via email.

We will then respond to an instructor of film and post the answer / mini-lesson on-line for you to see. The response time is not as good as if you were sitting next to the person, but it is always helpful.

The Cape Caper

by Kathy Unruh

If you are looking for a quick way to implement the arrangements of guitar, you should use a leader. These clever little gadgets are a great way to change keys without changing all forms of rope that you used to play the song. Capos can be particularly useful if you have spent much time learning a piece of fingerstyle guitar, but you decide to change the key. Instead of having to rewrite all the fingering, just put the head on, and voila, you're in a new key without changing the fingering.

Capos are really easy to use once you understand how to identify the key note of agreement. For example, when you play the C major chord, you will realize that the key (which is a grade of C in this Agreement) is the first fret second string. Your first finger on the note C, when you play the C major chord. If you insert a head of the first fret and play the same chord shape, you will have a C # major chord. If you move your head on the second button and play again the same agreement, there will be a major agreement CD, and so on.

See the notes on the keyboard here

Try the same experiment with arrangements of open formats in D major. Begin by asking: "What finger is playing the note D, in the form of agreement?" You have chosen the third finger? If so, congratulations, that's right! Now, place the head on the third button. What grade is your third finger on now, when you play great D agreements are the answer is F. This means that when you have your head on the third button and play D major chord shape really are playing an F major agreements.

Ask a friend to strum the F major chord in the first box, as did the F major chord with your head on the third button with the main agreements of form D. While the agreement with the head sounds high, it is still no agreement in F major and blends perfectly with the F chord prominent place in the first box. This is a good technique to use when two guitarists of the band are both playing the same chord sequence. Being one of then add a leader who help create more interest and color to the song.

My advice is to take some time to become familiar with the use of a leader. Seem strange at first if not used. Begins with a song that you know very well, and try to read with a head on. Then see if you can identify the strings are really the key in order to do this competently, you find that you need to know the notes on the keyboard. This is a good incentive for you to get these notes down. After all, the more you know you'll be more long term.

For more information you can read another article that I wrote that explains how to incorporate Guitar Chords in any key without the use of a leader. Goes into some detail and also includes a number of useful reference for all twelve major keys. So I think it is time for you to get busy!

5 Quick Tips to start a band in High School

by Jack Black

So you've played guitar for a while, and you think you're ready to make your first engagement as a musician, climb a rock band! If you have not yet begun the process of forming a group and want to get together and do some research before committing, this article should be able to provide some insight and hope that you do on your location. If you've already started the process, I need not tell you that it is a difficult question. Perhaps you have difficulty finding other musicians to play with. Worse yet, maybe you've practiced and practice, but can not find a place to play. Do not worry (a little humor musician), here are five quick tips that will put you on track to complete your goal.

1. Practice! Practice! Practice!: So that seems pretty obvious, but I'd be surprised how many people I played with secondary schools that have decided once was good enough for a group who kindly stop learning. Play an instrument and to become more of a tool is something that you should keep. Even if you have dreams of playing at Madison Square Garden, one day you may also find really enjoy playing in a band and want to keep open the possibility of earning a few dollars on the side to play weddings, when you get older. Do not be fooled by the fact that they play weddings. The members of the bands and wedding rings cover the rest usually are excellent musicians. Keep at it, no mater how frustrating that sometimes you can get better!

2. Start looking for comrades: This process is much easier than most teen-managers do. You know those posters when walking in the schools of music and most music stores. Well this is exactly what we are. Also, if your school allows, hang flyers in the hall ways. However, make sure you are very accurate in advertising. In addition to your name, your age (30 years do not want some guy named Biff showing the tape practice), and contact information, try to incorporate the styles of music you like and the number of years of experience you . Include everything that seems relevant. This will make the final stages of training tapes much easier and we will help people with similar interests and experience.

3. Handling Responses: Hopefully the local community is not entirely devoid of young musicians and we start to get some answers. Keep in mind that you form a group of high school and does not accept applications for employment. Being in a band in high school is supposed to be a funny thing. When mounting the new band members for a list of songs together that one can learn and play together and a bit ', but trying to make a bond of friendship with the musician to try. Most school groups are never high school. I'm not saying this as a deterrent, but the fact of the matter is that the bands to sign high schools are generally very rare. Just look for people who are responsible (ie it will be time for practices / events) and I think they love to play with.

4. Find concerts: After you and your new teammates have practiced and think you can fill a slot of thirty minutes (usually never get a better showing small), it is time to begin search for concerts. This can be difficult, unless you know the musicians in other groups or if the city has no places for young bands to play. To begin, consider the musical style of the group. If, for example, the group called The Lunatics, the report is a coffee shop is not your ideal. That is, if you know this coffee shop is on the rock / punk shows (RIP Sugar Shack). The key here is networking. Go to shows where you are on the bill and meet musicians from other bands that have a similar style or sound. Find out where they are and call these places, to see if you mount a show. Also, do not go out of your league. Just like when you try to band mates, find other groups with similar interests and experiences. But more than anything else: be persistent! More and more people and places that you know, the more chance you have to go out and play.

5. Continue your homework: I know! I know! Not very rock star-esque, but true anyway. Managing your time as a teenager can be difficult. You have a few things to consider, including band practice, school, your personal practice time, friends ... the list goes on. However, as an experienced high school musician can tell, it is difficult group practice when you're grounded for two weeks.

We hope that you managed to get some 'away from this article. I remember, a group of high school is not as easy as it sounds May It requires hard work, but when all is said and done, it can also produce some of the funniest and most memorable experiences of your youth. I remember, stay focused and continue to lightly. Good luck!

20th Century Music

by Jack Black

The music of the past hundred years has undergone unprecedented changes that musicians and researchers could not predict. Even with the technological innovations that have led the industrial revolution, nobody would have imagined that the music of the 20th century have changed so quickly did.

As the world getting smaller through advances in technology and transport, people began to have more free time, which means that more people are testing the individualism and express themselves. When the radio and recording devices became available, the variety of music and its availability immersed society and, ultimately, the music was created, which depend almost no taste. Finally, the musical instruments has become less expensive and for the first time in history, anyone could make their music, and much of the music produced over the last hundred years has been on daily life or things that we all feel, instead of anything dealing with the king and nobles.

Electronic music and also changed the way in which we live. In previous centuries, many shows were held in theaters or concert halls where the building is designed to support the sound of popular music. In the opera houses and concert halls, many people could gather to watch an artist perform, but it was difficult to hold major concerts in other places because of the sound balance and the need for balanced sound and smooth. However, the use of microphones and electronic instruments and a virtually unlimited number of devices to manipulate the sound of this instrument produces, the musicians are now able to perform in any environment, from a small room with open-air concert in front of thousands of people.

Another factor that has changed the face of the music industry to promote and sell music. For musicians and artists for centuries depended on the patronage of the church or wealthy nobles, and musicians can create music that suits the tastes of their leader. However, in modern music, the audience is the boss and the music has become very diversified in response to that. Completely different genres like rock and roll and rap, have been trained in an effort to express themselves in a unique way and to reach more people with a unique sound. Many times these unique sounds: a large salary for the musicians who paved the way and those who promote them. Because of the money that has become part of the music industry, genres, many have sold, and often professional musicians music designed to sell albums, instead of making music that is truly expressive.

Although several factors have influenced the music of the last century, the price of technology is a major cause of the popularity and diversity of music we know today. Not only is it easier to produce music, modern music can be recorded and played for years in its original form, as provided by 'artist. Unfortunately, the commercialization of music has perhaps contributed to the development of music than any other factor.

Left Handed Guitars

by Bio

Learn to play musical instruments is always a pleasure. In general, the musical instruments are designed and sold for most people. Like most people use the right hand to do their work, guitars are designed only for right handed people. This does not mean that the people of the left does not deserve its own musical instrument. If you like playing the guitar but the guitar is usually very difficult for you, then you should look for left-handed or left-handed electric guitars, acoustic guitars at the choice.

Mancini are normally settled down to ordinary guitar thinking they can find left-handed electric guitar easily. Now, these people will struggle to keep the guitar in the right hand to pluck the strings, because strings also be reversed. The music is not something that should emerge from a process of learning itself. The music must come from the heart, which becomes impossible if not at ease with your guitar. Left Handed Electric Guitar is not hard to find that the Internet has many online stores selling guitars, designed exclusively for left-handers.

When you left acoustic guitars in your hands, do not worry about channels or reverse any other adjustments you can simply use your guitar comfortably. Furthermore, there may be oddly shaped guitars and left so you can make a good impression among other guitarists. Even if you use a normal guitar today, you will certainly feel the difference, if you start to use left-handed guitars designed exclusively for the left-handed like you. You can customize the way your guitar and start playing the music you want.

Some people may advise you to look left-handed acoustic guitars and moved to the guitars normal return channel manually. This will cost more expensive to be done by a professional or not, you'll find yourself with an instrument that is not entirely obvious. Also, some types of guitars can be kept handy if you are left-handed. The options for choosing a guitar of your choices are reduced, if not go for left-handed electric guitars. Although there are shops that sell products for the people of the minority left-handed, why settle for spare normal and boring?

You will find that the price of left-handed electric guitar is much higher than normal guitar in your music store nearby. Some shops have not even left the tools delivered as pieces left to sell much less. No need to spend several hundred extra just because you are left handed. You can find numerous websites that sell musical instruments for lefties. While shopping on the Internet for left-handed acoustic guitars, make sure that you are looking for websites that sell guitars in particular for left-handers. This way you can get a guitar of your choice by paying the normal price.

When download legal music?

Thank you a huge amount of media to demonize the world of downloading music, many people are increasingly uncertain about the legality of downloading music. Thanks to various threats from the government to take action against illegal downloaders nothing to cut the Internet service to fines and even jail time, it is easy to see why people can get paranoid about using the Internet for new music.

However, downloading music may be perfectly legal - if you go through the appropriate services.

There are many sites and services you can enjoy the discovery of new and classic, without breaking the law. These services are those that have obtained all permits necessary to comply with copyright laws. They will charge users, monthly or per song or per album basis.

Music is not free and the artists still need to earn a living, so if you find a site that offers free music, be wary of it - it is likely that if you download something d it, you'll be breaking the law. Moreover, the illegal sharing sites often have malware and security threats on your PC. Downloading files from these sites, you can expose your computer to the enormous risks that could make it unusable if a malignant virus is hidden in your download.

So what makes some music download sites illegal in the first place? Usually because they are distributing copyrighted material they do not have the right to distribute - we are all aware of this law and as the author means that the media can not be bought can be used with certainty. If a site wants to sell the music, must obtain a license to do so, or be in violation of copyright.

Most of the illegal download sites, however, not to make money from selling music. They can make money from online advertising and, instead of offering a service in which the spirit is how users can share files over the Internet without having to pay for the privilege. This, again, a breach of copyright - and serves to remind us of index different from that of the site may be illegal - when the downloads are free.

Downloading is legal when it comes to reliable suppliers and it is clear that the necessary licenses have been obtained. You can enjoy downloading music in MP3 format on the Internet, regardless of the law when you go through these sites - to choose a reliable company at the time of signing and enjoy discovering new music.

Musically influenced by Joy Division and Kraftwerk, the disc has a much more raw sound that makes it even more the voice of lead singer Tom Smith. The third album is as always decisive, and in this case the group has managed to renew itself and thus overcome the criticism and the consideration of the radio that often in wait for the artists who work with always equal to reproduce themselves. So much change is due, as the band itself admits to new influences and new experiences that have swept away after the success of their second album, first and foremost the transfer to London.

Already well known in America, they have to their credit two other albums "All We Know Is Falling" and the lucky "Riot" which has already taken them around the world in the wake of Jimmy Eat World, another famous band in the States.

Some rumors gave the young band already in deep crisis, but Paramore surprise everyone and come back in better shape than ever with their new album sound even more aggressive and punk rock. The promotional tour for "Brand New Eyes" which will see them land in Europe, has already led to several sold out like the London concert at Wembley Arena next December 18. Part of their success is also due to look colorful and original singer Hayley Williams, who will surely tendency among the young and pure as the perfect substitute of his colleague Avril Lavigne in her heart, or rather in the wardrobe, all the girls.

Here is the school for Drag Queen

As a profession seems unusual but is a way (as another?) For rounding.

Not only are homosexuals or transvestites wanting to do drag queens, this too is a form of entertainment and very funny request. Now there is a school in Bologna where he teaches men who want to do to dress up and performing in public.

The members come from all over Italy with the desire to learn to dance and sing, learn techniques of sewing and makeup. The dredger Marcella organizing the course, a former welder who now chairs the Association Onlus LMShow had the idea to open the Drag School Musical.

Among other things it teaches techniques of scene, improvisation, playback, sewing, dancing and singing. The lectures will be delivered by professionals and will do several cabaret numbers with final examination and certificate of participation.

There are plenty of heterosexual and a little 'out of curiosity, a little' for fun participating in this initiative. This is show and also to earn some money outside the usual patterns, among Pilette, makeup abundant diva gestures, songs of Raffaella Carr?.

Only for persons of non-conventional, amused by that natural stage that is life ... I personally am fascinated by how these men are transformed on stage and I must say, frankly, some of them become truly beautiful ... I watch them kidnapped and admired, I think then, anything is possible ... it's like a dream. There is also the after-school, with the aperitiDrag, where you can rehearse the arguments studied together, exchange ideas but also to meet with friends. And you, would you do?

Brother Metal and Heavy Metal

The heavy metal is synonymous with music for Satan? God is the greatest rock star of the world? Or is a simple media? Today we do not care to find none of these responses, as are other mysteries that attract our attention. Mysteries, precisely, is the 'work of Brother Metal, born Cesare Bonizzi, Capuchin friar of the convent of Musocco (Milan).

The call of metalheads who called Cesare Bonizzi outsiders came in 1990 at a Metallica concert and since then has been for him a love for metal music continues to grow. To hear Brother Metal, his is only one way to address the Christian doctrines addressing the musical complexity of our Italian language to get directly to the head of his "faithful" young. It 'almost goes without saying that the form of disclosure choice has sparked uproar among the so-called "right-thinking" and that the reputation that precedes this robust man with a long beard is the result of a mix of curiosity and cunning media rather than actual artistic quality, though, at least from the standpoint of the idea, the result seems quite positive.

Although his sound and focused on the standards of "heavy metal" still soiled from rock (hence the neologism, based on measure, "metrock" kind of reference to Friar Bonizzi) and dispensed thoughts on drugs, sex, God, family, Bacchus, tobacco and Venus ... Fratello Metallo manages to hit the mark.

Indeed, it is not an experience that is lived every day to be "mystified" by those who claim and shows that God and the sounds of heavy metal are compatible, however, as demonstrated by its participation in the various Gods of Metal, the task Brother Bonizzi seems acquitted: word of mouth is still the most effective means of promotion and message, more or less relevant, arrived the next. It will be up to him to decide its best use.
For those who dislike the genre will be impossible to approach this dualism lay / cleric who will probably turn up their noses even to die-hard metalheads, but music is the aggregation and when you find yourself in some views, the same gain, over time, new contours .

"HEAVY METAL IS THE LAW" [cit. Helloween]

Music .... That luxury!

The music, a luxury for the chosen few.

Yeah, that's it, in Italy, the country of the great works, not offered any help to students from private schools of this beautiful art. Referring to my personal experience of a university student and privately to music, I can say that if ever a person, not able to enter the conservatory, and has the dream to study music, as well as get a degree decent, well certainly would not be absolutely helped! In my case, studying music and have many other "expenses" as a student, it's really painful. The business world today is not able to offer great things, especially those that allow a combination of all the choices you make in life, and that sometimes they are required. Such studies leave no time to earn some money, and is also why I'm here! Because for now, only writing is my only hope!

In my opinion, and who probably is in my same situation, would be much easier, aid from the state, as happens in other countries, where the study is almost always rewarded! It would also be a great help also to our families! Mine is a fairly common example perhaps Having previously compared with many other people like me, end up saying that are not absolutely the only one! Monthly allowances for my musical studies came to 200 euros per month, and adding the expenses are for undergraduate studies (books, train tickets, taxes etc etc) Arrival at over 300 Euros per month (at least not always). Surely there is some help at school level, but musically, it is rather low, and it is very sad ... for a country that can give much.

This is my first article, is not perfect obviously, but slowly the words slip in a better way. ... But now I leave you with a question:

A girl of 20 years that a job can make it look as it should, with more than $ 200 monthly expenses and a low income family, how can he achieve his right?? Only sacrifices and sacrifices by the family? Does this seem right?

Michael Jackson is still alive?

According to a video shot with a cell phone from a fan of Jack, it seems that from the ambulance, who accompanied the star to the morgue, someone came out with their faces covered, but with the same slender physique of the singer. Those who have received the images says that the source is safe, but really do not know the date of the shooting, the less you do not see the plate of the ambulance, which could well be another.

The yellow that seemed closed with the hypothesis of murder by the surgeon of Jackson, is actually still open. Jack is really dead or is a macabre found to increase profits, given that since he was pronounced dead there was a boom in sales of his records? Who can answer this question?

Loading ... new performance of Giuseppe Sorrentino

by pressHATE presshate@gmail.com

As the name suggests "Loading" ... loading ... this live performance leads to a continuous loading ... a concept defined by a succession of sonic themes that emerge, but never permanently accomplished incessant ascend to touch its peak and then break out again with a new groove ...

Series dominated by rhythmic sound effects and then increases again, seems to have smoothed but then resumed and while constantly changes remains remote as a process of ever-changing waiting waiting to emerge at its best and while charging its final explosion! The impression of "Loading Vol 1" realized at the end of June 2008, the first one "testing" the saga of album that will follow in the coming months, downloadable free from www.giuseppesorrentino.eu (download section),

l ' impression of a latent track accompanying the entire performance to performance, like a secret desire to not call it feeling ... maybe it's a personal interpretation but it seems ... a bomb in the making that slowly changes the meantime, however, inner feelings are always there, and when are about to explode and should involve themselves known to transform into something else and never find the end, he expects the way the end the goal, but when the sounds are growing change are strong but weak at times and yet they are still there. ... as the effects ... you hear them chasing less and less,

I think they are ending and instead here they are again split everything with inhuman strength so they can not be run more and be forced to move towards a new direction, to say ... when you're finished here he takes the great and when you think hand is so strong that almost no longer be tolerated back on the right path and you wonder again. We say that the product reflects the full concept of "Loading" and perhaps the personality of the artist. Waiting for the next issue of loading, this time in audio and video, we continue to listen and listen again to the musical innovation of Vol 1.
