Music Reading vs. Tablatures (Part 2) - 0 views

  •  
    There are plenty of resources available that give TABs to everyone's favorite song and they generally work fine if all you want to do is learn your favorite guitar riff. But my goal is to go beyond just copying somebody else's riff to the place of really understanding what music and guitar playing are really made up of. And in order to do that, I have to introduce basic music reading. Not that you are going to end up playing classical guitar concertos, but so that we could learn the "why" of music. I understand that it can be truly frustrating to go back and try to read the music to play these simple songs when you can already play somewhat better by reading the TABS. I have found that in my experience in teaching many adults in your situation just say "Forget it, it's too much work and I don't even sound that good when I read the music. I can play better just reading the TAB. Besides, who wants to learn how to play Yankee Doodle anyway?" So they quit trying to learn the music and just tell themselves that "Some people can read music and some can't and I am just one of those that can't."

Interview with Devon Michael: "There's something about Devon" - 0 views

  •  
    If you like Ne Yo Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West, then you have to listen to the featured artist of the week with Devon Michael. The best part about Devon Michael is his originality. You get more than one speed of music from this album. It travels from great driving music, to the dance floor, to the street, and to the bedroom. It is impossible to get bored with this album, because there's is no one constant. It makes the listener wonder what the next song will bring. If you enjoy R&B and Hip Hop, you get the best of both worlds and it's impossible to just listen to once, in fact, you get hooked.

Guitar Styles to Consider When Learning Guitar - 0 views

  •  
    Just like there are different types of guitars, there are also different styles of play. While you may think that you've got an idea of a style you'd like to focus on before you even start learning, it is best to learn as many as possible and then use them all to draw on when you decide on a style you like best. When you learn to play guitar with the Learn and Master Guitar series, you'll learn a myriad of styles to help you decide which one you like best. You'll learn: -Acoustic guitar -Electric & rock guitar -Classical and fingerstyle guitar -Blues guitar -Jazz guitar -Country guitar and chicken picken' -R&B and funk guitar

Presenting Tangent Transmission: Newest LA band redefines rock music - 0 views

  •  
    Tangent Transmission is not the typical Los Angeles rock band. In fact, they give a whole new definition to the meaning of rock. Perhaps it should be called tangent rock, because they do not intersect with any other sound except with their own, taking audiences to new heights by giving them an experience they have ever heard before. \n\nListen to an exclusive full length 4-track music preview from their soon-to-be-released debut EP right here: http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-07-09T08_12_27-07_00\n\nRead an exclusive one-on-one interview with lead singer, pianist, and guitarist Sam Sobo: \nhttp://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/07/tangent-transmission-redefining-rock.html \n

Deny This, Last.fm - 0 views

  •  
    Here's what we believe happened: CBS requested user data from Last.fm, including user name and IP address. CBS wanted the data to comply with a RIAA request but told Last.fm the data was going to be used for "internal use only." It was only after the data was sent to CBS that Last.fm discovered the real reason for the request. Last.fm staffers were outraged, say our sources, but the data had already been sent to the RIAA.

Steve Krenz's Tutorial on Guitar Barre Chords [2 of 2] - 0 views

  •  
    Here's the deal. Barre chords take some time to bloom. At first you can try your hardest and you just don't have the muscles in place to get them to sound. It's a physical thing. It takes time to develop the muscles needed.
