Learn Blues Guitar Revealed

By Joe Rosales


It's not that kind of blues. Nobody here's a candidate for Prozac. But if you want to be worthy of that guitar you're holding, read on and let the blues be your guide.Hold on to your blues guitar chords and practice all the time. Eventually you'll make your way to the Blues Jam with your guitar. The Blues Jam is the venue to show off your talent, and this all begins with the blues guitar chords. The magical blues guitar sound will come later.

Learning the blues guitar chords include a knowledge of the blues scales, blues runs, major third note, and other important fundamentals of the blues guitar. Understanding the entire process and system will equip the blues guitar player with the coveted improvisation skills.

Improvisation on the blues guitar chords can lead to other genres like rock, electrica, jazz, and rock 'n roll. It is unfortunate that most beginners underestimate the blues. Everyone wants to go the easy route and start playing guitar solos, but that's just wrong. To become a good guitar player and to even go halfway, the blues have to be experienced because the blues has it all.

For their first lessons, beginners are given blues pieces by their instructors. This has basis, because the blues is the best place to start when you want to move forward with your guitar playing.

The basic blues guitar lessons involve the learning of the common blues introductions - usually in the A key with alternates and variations. The melody and harmony lessons precede the blues rhythm. There are three primary chords frequently played in most blues - the 1st, 4th, and 5th intervals or the 3 chords progression from a major scale. There will be several variations here. In the key of A, the triads are A, D, and E. For the key of B, it would be B, E, and F#.

Assuming you already have a background on guitar tablature and know the basic guitar chords, you will be introduced to blues guitar chords, such as the blues movable barre chords. When the first finger of the left hand presses all six strings across the fingerboard, the finger acts as a bar. You will then be able to move several of the open chords across the fingerboard. Other blues guitar chords are A 7 B, blues rhythm guitar in C, blues shuffle boogie in E, blues rhythm guitar in A, riffs, scales and runs. These are just a few of the blues guitar chords you can get from online guitar sites.

Learning the blues guitar chords is learning how all these work together. So you have to learn the chords by groups or chord progressions. Constant practice will attune your ear to the different tones produced.
If you want a better sound when you play your blues guitar chords, use a guitar with big strings. Great blues guitarists prefer bigger frets too. This gives more space for their fingers, and there is less of a drag because there is minimal contact with the fingerboard.

Wear the slide on the finger you are comfortable with, but practice wearing it on the others too. If you are using a slide guitar, do not use a pick. It will be awkward initially but you will soon get used to it.When you have mastered the blues guitar chords, you will eventually develop flexibility and style. You can test the different blues guitar chords in different ways to create your own blues sound. And yes, this blues will bring a smile on your face.

Hip Hop Drum Beats Discovered

By Erik Mendoza


Here we go again, yet another infomercial promising flat, sculptured abs without having to do 'painful' crunches or sit-ups. So, what's the deal? The Hip Hop Abs package comes with four DVDs, a 30 day workout calendar and 24/7 'online support' (somewhat misleading as the 'expert' support is limited to forum exchanges with other users and the occasional live chat with Shaun T. Unless you download the DVDs from the internet you will have to pay $60, plus shipping and handling.

The target groups of this workout program are evidently women and gay men, like Shaun himself. Straight males might be somewhat irritated by his constant chatter (although you can turn up the volume of the music over the talk) and the way he moderates the program. The Hip Hop moves shown on the DVDs are nothing you can boast with at a club, so if you want to learn real moves, I suggest you take Hip Hop classes at your local gym instead.

The most important thing you have to know is that, in order to get tight, strongly defined abs, nothing beats bicycle manoeuvre, captains chair and crunches on an exercise balls, as recently proven again by a study conducted at the University of San Diego. So, if sexy abs is your only goal, if you can motivate yourself and eat healthily, just do one of the aforementioned three exercises every day and you will get a better result than with anything sold through an infomercial. So, what is the Hip Hop Abs workout good for? Check out these Pros and Cons:

Doing the moves shown on the exercise DVDs sure beats sitting on the couch and just watching the tube. If you do it right, work up a sweat and actually get your heart rate up, you can lose weight; especially if you stick to the diet plan that comes with the package. It can make sense to add it to your daily routine and you can get a nice endorphin boost.Depending on the type of person you are, you might have a good time watching the Shaun T working his sexy body up into a sweat and listening to his talk. In that case the short workouts will fly right by.

The key problem with Hip Hop Abs is that it is not the ultimate workout for your abs. The 'standing crunch' advertised as the core movement is in no way as effective as cycling, the captain's chair or real crunches. A muscle shortening by bending slightly as shown in Hip Hop Abs does not stimulate you abs and make them grow bigger and stronger. This is one clear point where the people selling the product are trying to mislead you.

Hip Hop Abs is not a cardio vascular exercise. If you are in halfway decent shape, the workout routines of Shaun T won't make you break out in a big sweat. With time you get used to the drill and as your muscles adapt and your movements become more efficient your body will be less and less challenged. In order to challenge it more you will have to 'upgrade' to the advanced workouts, which basically means buying more stuff from them.

The moves are not for everybody and take some time getting used to. It is in no way real Hip Hop what you are learning there. Additionally, the music and Shaun T are not for everybody, which is fair enough.'Testimonials' claim to have used the product and to have lost as much as 3 inches on their hips in as little as three days. Such a weight loss in such a short time is not only highly unlikely, but were it true would it be everything else but healthy. Don't buy the product and expect to look like Shaun T after a few weeks.In many forums people complain about the customer service delivered by Hip Hop Abs and about being overcharged or receiving stuff they didn't actually want to buy. If you are set on buying the product, use pay pal or make sure you don't get scammed or overcharged for stuff you never wanted. .

Now, is Hip Hop Abs the ultimate abs workout or a total scam like other products advertised in infomercials? The answer is: neither.If dancing is your thing, if you think this looks like a fun way to lose weight and if you are willing to spend the money, then by all means do it and give Hip Hop Abs a shot. If it gets you off the couch and makes you exercise every day, if it makes you change to a healthier diet and makes you feel better about yourself, then it is worth it.If you are looking for the best way to build your abs, you should stick to the scientifically proven methods. Doing real abs exercises might burn a little, but how sweet is that pain if it actually delivers results that can be measured. Furthermore, Hip Hop Abs is not a suitable cardiovascular exercise since it is neither progressive nor adaptive. If you want to build up a real sweat, rather go for a run or use the cardio machines in your gym. That will make you lose weight faster and you can track your own progress better.

An Introduction to Guitar Tablature

By Malinda Tonkin


A music sheet that displays which notes are being played on a acoustic or electric guitar is known as guitar tablature, or more generally known as guitar tabs. This often comes with the guitar cords. Lead riffs, intro's, splits, and fill-ins are all situations whereby we may expect to hear a few fancy acoustic or electric guitar work that can be broken down for us in guitar tabs. Additionally, songs which are distinctively picked out, for example the Beatles classic, Blackbird, create exceptional candidates for guitar tabs.

Guitar tabs is certainly a nifty tool for you to learn new and popular songs because it doesn't require that the guitar player has the ability to read music. It is also less complex for anybody to write, and thus the Internet is a rich source for guitar tablature at no cost at all. At the same time, since practically anyone can post tablature online, you simply can't always expect that the tablature you try is a correct representation of the original artist's interpretation. Not all is outstanding at determining what a guitarist is doing.

Guitar tablature, sometimes called tab, is a staff that has 6 lines representing the guitar strings. The top line connotes high E. This is often confusing considering that the guitar is strung the opposite, with high E being the bottom string. Nevertheless, the bottom guitar string is viewed as the first string. For this reason the first guitar string and the first line on the guitar tablature staff are both high E.

Guitar chords often comes with the guitar tabs being played, which often show the complete representation of the song. In such a case the horizontal lines symbolize the guitar strings but vertical lines represent the guitar fretboard, and figures will indicate at which part of the fretboard the chord should be played. Dots appear on the strings at the positions where the fingers take to form the chording.

Guitar tablature is indeed an excellent tool for learning and expanding that music that you can play . In case you are not used to guitar tabs, pull up Google and type in your favorite song plus tab, such as this: "song title" + "guitar tab". Then have it printed and get a blank journal and a 3-hole punch. You will most probably be occupied for a few hours or more.

There are also many guitar tabs songbooks you can purchase. Hal Leonard is one of the many guitar tabs authors.

Some Of The Most Memorable Films From The Controversial Performer, Mel Gibson

By Lucas Harden


Wow, do I hate Mel Gibson. Why did he have to go throw his career and reputation down the toilet? I grew on Mel Gibson's movies, and up until recently, I thought he was the greatest. We now know that he is truly a weak person and will probably never act again. Having said that, the man has starred in some incredible movies.

Seeing that his career is likely over, this article will discuss what I consider to be the greatest Mel Gibson movies.

One movie that I will include on this list is Ransom. What an awesome movie this was. Mel Gibson stars as a wealthy businessman who has his little son kidnapped, only to be held for a ransom. Mel's character turns things around and puts a ransom on the kidnapper's head.

One movie that must be mentioned on any list of great Mel Gibson films is Braveheart. I haven't tried to watch this movie recently, but I truly hope that Mel Gibson's recent antics won't tarnish the role of William Wallace for me. This remains one of my favorite films of all time.

Another movie that I am not ashamed to admit I liked was What Women Want. This movie had the makings of a romantic comedy, but it was rated R so I had faith. It is actually a pretty enjoyable movie, and a very funny concept.

It is tough to make a list of Mel Gibson's greatest films without including a movie form the Lethal Weapon franchise. My personal favorite was Lethal Weapon 4. This movie also stars Danny Glover, Joe Pesci and Jet Li.

Finally, I will include We Were Soldiers on this list. Maybe I am just a sucker for Vietnam War movies, but I really enjoyed how this film told the story from both the American and Vietnamese soldiers perspective. If you like war films, this is worth seeing.

As you can see, regardless of what Mel Gibson has said or done recently, he has had his fair share of great movies.

Much of the music that you will play is going to require a familiarity with chords. As a definition, chords are simply notes that are played together in a way that sounds like music.

When you are going to learn how to play guitar, for beginners, you will need to start out with the simpler chords. These will likely be A-C-D-G, in no particular order. These are known as easy or beginner's chords simply because they aren't too hard to play - they only require 3 of your fingers.

You will make a chord simply by pressing upon the strings on the fret of the neck of the guitar. As you are pressing on the strings at the fret, strum the strings near to the hole in the body of the guitar. Beginning lessons on an acoustic guitar is better than beginning on an electric. After you have down the basics, then you can start playing the electric guitar if you would like to.

To play guitar for beginners, some mistakes addressed early on. Create good habits along the way, such as pushing upon the chords with the right pressure. Don't press too much. There is such a thing as too much pressure on the chords, and it will take some time to nail it down. The sound of the music you play will depend on a number of things, and how hard you press the chords is one of the key elements.

When you play the guitar, you want to be sure that you have your wrist leveled down - the wrist of the hand that is nearest the neck. This will make sure you don't hurt your hand too much. Some beginners won't do this right, and will result in a "buzz" noise instead of a pure sound. The other effect is painful cramping in the hand, which can give you pause in your forward momentum.

Practice the songs with fewer movements between the chords - stick with songs that use chords that are touching or near touching at the fret. You should find no trouble in getting a list of these songs to play. If you notice the pro's don't have to look at the fret - practice playing with your eyes shut. Professional players usually only look at the fret when they have a difficult chord and want to be able to place their fingers in precise places.

You need to memorize the hand movements between all the chords. Become so familiar with the chords that you don't need to think to place your fingers where they have to be. Practice often, every day. To play guitar for beginners, it helps to start the journey with the best resources you can find, too.

Watch Tele Online

By Adrian Swieboda


Think about the channels you like to watch at most. Does any of them belong to public television? No, it doesn't, right? Why is that? What has happened to public television what made it so unpleasant to watch? In point of fact, the reasons are numerous and the main one depends mostly on the country we're watching the TV from. In a few countries, television is being manipulated by the government.

Politics decide what is going to be presented. Usually - only the thing they'd like to watch. Things that agree with their vision of world, country, and politic. As a consequence, public television becomes monotonic in the most unacceptable way. If you didn't follow the president, why would you be constrained on listening how wonderful he is? Political manipulation is the first argument why people decide to watch tele online instead of traditional, public TV.

What else should be mentioned?
The two most annoying things in television are politics and commercials and - honestly - it's difficult to state which ones are worse. Unfortunately, they usually walk together. Once one politic finishes what he wanted to say, another one begins. Once they both finish, there's a great time for commercials. And so on and so forth. As for a usual TV watcher, it truly is annoying.

Unfortunately, once again there's nothing usual people could do to change the situation. Or... The option is to watch tele online. Among a few other possibilities, this one seems the most easily acceptable for the most populous group. Only the technophobes would have anything against.

However, it still is not the end of public television drawbacks. If the politics and commercials are not enough, the attention should be paid to the choice of channels. How many channels public television provides its watchers with? Three, four, maybe five? It depends on the country. Nevertheless, why should anyone remain constrained on these few channels only? To watch politically manipulated news services? To watch propagandist movies describing "the only true history"?

It's difficult to explain what has happened to public television. Unfortunately, the point is that it's not going to work any longer. As a consequence, no one should be surprised with the fact that so many people decide to watch tele online instead. With unrestrained access to channels from all over the world and better and better quality, internet television becomes the best source of TV as a whole.

'If it's good, it's never enough,' they used to say. However, probably they haven't mentioned television. Curiously, the popularity of today's TV made this relation actual even in case of television. Weird? Unexpected? Not. Just the way things used to go. Maybe it would be better for people to watch less TV, maybe it would be not. It all depends.

However, there are people who don't watch it at all, and also the people who don't do anything else. For all of them different types of television are being prepared so that everyone could choose something that suits him best. It doesn't matter if he prefers to watch tele online or through the satellite. The point is he has plenty of options to choose from what makes choosing truly problematic. Each of options could be good, nonetheless not for all. Which one to choose and when? Or - maybe - it would be better to choose all of them at once?

They sound more fluid, more dexterous, and more professional. One way that you as a guitar player who is wanting to learn guitar scales can take your guitar playing to another level is through the learning of modes. Modes are derivatives of "straight" guitar scales (although when you get advanced enough you understand that "straight" guitar scales in and of themselves are modes, too). When you learn guitar scales and modes at the same time, you give yourself a much greater base of knowledge from which to construct songs and solos.



Among the guitar modes is the Locrian Mode. You might have heard of the Phrygian Mode before, and the Locrian Mode is quite similar to it. In fact, there is just one note's difference. But that one different note means a lot.

Playing in the Locrian Mode, to put it simply, entails starting and ending a solo or lead break on the 7th note of the "normal" scale. This is the scale that indicates the key that you're playing in. So, if you were playing in the key of G, and you desire to play a solo in Locrian, you'll begin and end the solo on the F note. It doesn't matter which octave either note is, it just matters that your very first and very last notes are each an F.

Playing in B Locrian means playing something different than the B major scale. It also means playing in C in a different way than you would if you just were going to use the C major or its relative minor (A minor) scale for a solo.

Advanced guitar players love understanding the intervalic relationship between the notes in a mode, as this allows for deeper understanding of how to use the mode. The intervals for the Locrian Mode go like this Root, flatted 2nd , flatted 3rd ,major 4th ,flatted 5th , flatted 6th, flatted 7th . So to play F Locrian in the G major key, the scale that you would use would go F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F3'.

If you played F Locrian, you would be playing in the key of G but with "sound and feel" of an F major scale. You would "think in" the pattern of notes that begins and ends on F, but please recognize that they all be the notes of the G major scale. Do you think that might spark your creativity?

Imagine if you played the B Locrian mode (or "scale") over top a chord progression in the key of B. You would give a very different feel to the song or piece.

The Locrian Mode is not used very much, in truth. There are differing theories as to why. It might be that the Locrian Mode, as it is based on the Leading Tone, is too "suggestive of" the Ionian Mode and thus loses effectiveness. It's also thought that the Locrian Mode sounds so much like the Phrygian Mode that it's barely distinguishable and, so, why should a guitar player learn or use both when Phrygian is so popular?

So when you set out to learn guitar scales, keep in mind that the Locrian Mode gives you access to some different sounds than you would be able to conjure by "playing it straight". When you learn guitar scales, don't neglect the Locrian Mode.

Guitar Tutors - What Do They Actually Do?

By Lance Chavira


A guitar instructor trains people to to be able to learn to play an acoustic, electric and even acoustic bass guitar lessons. Guitar teachers provide group and exclusive music courses from beginner, then immediate and up to a more advanced guitarists. A few conduct their coaching in music schools, deliver lessons at their personal studios or travel to people's residences to teach. Several course instructors have employment with others, and most of them simply work for themselves. Some people who coach individuals to learn to play guitar do it as their prime occupation, others are professional music artists who train to earn extra money, and some teach guitar to earn extra cash aside from one other, not related job.

Guitar instructors provide a comprehensive learning experience for people hoping to learn playing a beginner acoustic guitar or any kind of guitar instrument, teaching the fundamentals of a variety of music styles like classical, blues, rock, folk and the like. Some other guitar instructors are dedicated to teaching individuals certain music genre. Some professors may focus on teaching a specific level of student, for example beginners, intermediate or advanced, and other professors work with a different levels. Oftentimes the degree of students that the teacher instructs is actually driven by his or her personal experience level.

Guitar instructors who trains beginners might start out talking over things which include music theory as well as ideal playing methods. They discuss the different guitar parts, ways to hold it and ways to tune it. The beginner's acoustic guitar teacher furthermore teaches how to read notes, the best way to play simple guitar notes and the way to pick and play. They simply help beginning students assemble what they have learned in fundamental songs.

Guitar teachers who work with students in intermediate level, who basically have the fundamentals down, might put emphasis on his / her lessons on particular music styles. For instance, if the student has an interest in learning blues, the instructor might explore the 12-bar progression, which is a very foundation for a lot of blues songs. The intermediate acoustic guitar instructor might present intermediate students, who are into rock music, to power chords and how to work with an av receiver.

Guitar instructors working together with advanced students may help them make their own compositions. They might recommend methods students to combine different styles into their composition to add freshness and awareness. Here is an example, the teacher could actually help a country player to learn more quickly, heavy metal and rock plucking tactics. Sometimes rather than teaching advanced students on new strategies, the coach assists them improve their playing, such as presenting strategies to boost skill for right-hand traditional way of playing the guitar. Trainers of advanced and intermediate but not beginner classical guitar students may also become involved in the arrangement of musical shows.

Music isn't fixed, and effective guitar instructors keep up to date on new styles and strategies. Many take lessons themselves with more advanced guitar players. They might work with more experience course instructors in a certain style or delve into a number of styles to add into their own music.

By Nathan Williams


There are a variety of makes and models of HDTV sold in the market and it is best to gain sufficient knowledge regarding this new technology in order to find out which are the most recommended high definition TVs for your home theater system. Here are a few suggestions that will help narrow down the choices to experience the best and clearest reproduction in terms of clarity and color.

The electronics market is filled with new HDTV models that present the promise of overall satisfaction in terms of picture quality and sound. Here is a short list of the best that your money can buy.

It is no secret that Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung has etched itself as one of the pillars in the electronics industry by providing consumers with clever products that are jam packed with state of the art features.

This creed holds true to all Samsung gadgets sold in the market and the same holds true for their line of HDTVs. The PNC7000 and PNC8000 series are the best in the industry when it comes to picture clarity, color reproduction and price. It is safe to assume that both 2D and 3D formats are well at home in both series of Samsung HDTVs.

The Panasonic Viera series combines the best of both worlds and even includes 3D glasses to quickly experience the real world of three-dimensional realism. Consumers state that the Viera series are one of the best that money can buy but is eclipsed by the presence of the twin Samsungs in terms of overall affordability.

Best Exclusive Beats

By Matthew Tregre


To do this, you will need a few things. First you will need recording studio software. Recording studio software is nothing more than a program that allows you to mix beats, melodies, chords, samples and loops to make your own customized instrumentals and tracks. They also allow you to record yourself as you sing or rap to your track and to make a copy of your tracks to cd.

You can find this type of software all over the Internet. Just do a search for "make your own beats" or "recording studio software". As you search, you will notice that on average, this type of software will run you between $50 and $200. Don't Buy Them (you'll see why shortly)! Now you're going to need beats, melodies, chords, samples, and loops to customize with your recording studio software, aka: soundsets and loopsets. Again, just do a search for "beats" or "loops". They usually come in packages of about 200 soundsets for $30 and 300 loopsets for $60, or 600 soundsets for $75 and 900 loopsets for $150. Don't Buy Them Either!

Alright, so at the minimum, $140 gets you the low-end studio software, 200 soundsets, and 300 loopsets... or if you want a little better quality studio software and more soundsets and loopsets, you can spend about $425 for high-end studio software, 600 soundsets, and 900 loopsets. That's everything you need to make your own beats, instrumentals, samples, loops, tracks, and complete demo cd's. But why did I say Don't Buy Them?

Because you can get it all, the studio software and over 1,100 soundsets and loopsets for under 30 bucks with Hip Hop Starz Record Producer and Mixer Studio (see "about the author" at the bottom of this article). This is an unheard of price for everything you need, and it is of such good quality, I have dedicated an entire page of my Snoop Dogg website to it. It is loaded with many features you will find on the high-end software selling for $100 or more. Also, they are currently holding a Win A Record Contract Contest with Doug E Fresh. Use the software and enter to win!

So now you know how to make your own beats, instrumentals, samples, loops, tracks, and even complete demo cd's, and this brings us to our next part...There are many, many ways to make money with your own music. The first thing you need to do, though, is break it down into pieces, or components we will call them.

There are 4 key components to any track, or song. You have soundsets, which are nothing more than beats, sounds, scratches, etc. You have loopsets, which are your soundsets when put together in a loop. You have instrumentals, which are completed tracks with no voice or lyrics. Finally, you have completed tracks, which are basically just instrumentals that include lyrics.

When you look at music from this angle, broken down into components, you will start to see many ways to make money with your own. Like I mentioned at the beginning of this report, people are not only paying for completed tracks, they are also paying for the components individually. If you can create you own, good components, people will buy them.

Again, search the Internet for these components. Doing so will not only show you how much you can sell your components for, but also where you can sell them. As long as people are listening to music, there will always be a demand for it, and I can't see people stopping anytime soon.

By Joe Rosales


Music is an important part of our lives - we can use it to change our moods, create an atmosphere, or simply to relax to. Playing an instrument is not only a great way to experience the music; it is also an enjoyable, useful skill to have. The electric guitar is one of the most popular instruments, and free lessons can be found online that will help you learn to play.

The electric guitar is an instrument that can be played with many different styles of music because it has many different sounds. When listening to the radio, you can hear the electric guitar on a hard rock, jazz, blues, country, easy listening, or pop station.

You may want to learn the electric guitar so you can play along with your favorite bands, but you just don't have the money to pay for lessons. The good news is that many websites offer free guitar lessons that can teach you much of what you need to know.

The one drawback to online guitar lessons is that you don't have a teacher right there in the room with you to help you place your fingers on the right strings and show you a specific chord. However, there are other benefits to learning from a teacher online.

One, of course, is that the lessons are free. Also, many websites offer a section where you can email or chat online with your teacher if you have any questions about what you are learning. Another benefit is that you can take the lessons whenever it is convenient for you, and you can often select what you would like to learn.

There are different styles of electric guitar playing that go along with many different types of music. You can learn to play chords, and you can learn to read musical notation or tablature, which is simply the system that is used to write down a series of notes known as a guitar riff. You can learn that different strumming patterns will give you different effects. The electric guitar can also come with different effects pedals, which give your music a whole new sound when you use them.

In order to find the best free online guitar lessons, you may need to try a couple of different websites, or ask someone that you know has taken lessons before. There are lots to choose from, and once you find the one for you, you'll be on your way to learning to play like the pros!

Best Music Maker Software

By Matthew Tregre


The first recording principal came about through a Swiss watch maker in 1796 when he proposed the first musical box. Then came the phonograph in 1877 by Edison. He constructed a cylinder with soft material like led or tinfoil. A stylus drew grooves across this material and through the depth of the grooves and calculated air pressure the recording was determined.

In 1896 however, Valdemar Poulsen demonstrated magnetic recording. In this process of recording sound, a tape is kept moving under a recording head. The head transfers electronic signals corresponding to the sound on to the tape. The play back head then re reads these tapes and recognizes the signals hence playing them back.

Magnetic recordings were however not popular and were inefficient in the beginning. People preferred Phonograph to Magnetic records. For example, in 1932 the BBC used a tape recorder. It was a huge machine using steel tapes. The tape had to be rotated at the speed of 90 meters under the different head, which meant that a huge amount of tape was required. Approximately tapes as long as 3 Kilometers weighing 25 KG were used.

However as the time passed, tape recorders became better. With the help of the Germans, a working tape recorder was finally demonstrated in 1938. After this, multi track recording was introduced. Les Paul, helped in this field. In this form of recording, multiple tracks can be housed on one tape.

All the great things were not happenings only in the magnetic recording field. In 1927 the JAZZ singer astounded people by being one of the first movies to use sound techniques. From now on, the process of recording sound on optical film began in earnest. The Jazz singer had used a process known as the vidaphone.

It was now time for the digital recorders. Introduced in the late 1970's, these soon became popular. Soon, multi track recorders with stationary heads were being manufactured. The rotating head technology was used to record sound on to video tapes then in use. As time moved on, compact disks became more and more popular.

Using complex electronic techniques, these provided higher quality and far superior sound. Using Lazar for recording purposes, they were a new revolution displacing tape recorders and gramophones, which had come out in the 1960's.

However, the wheel moved and we had the MP3 player which allowed us to download and listen to hundreds of songs from one simple and tiny portable device. Today, ipods are the order of the day, allowing you to carry and listen to thousands of songs in your pocket where ever you are.

Freestyle Rap Battles

By Daniel Akinson


Freestyle rap fights, if done on an elite degree, can be some of the most interesting directions to spend an afternoon. Though perhaps not as popular as they were a few years ago, freestyle rap battles remain an great part of hip culture, and a great way for up and coming MCs to make respect while sharpening their lyrical skills. Here's some of the best places online that you might get difficult hitting battle raps...

My16Bars. This website features a whole slew of talented MC's who are lyrically driven. many online forums are not moderated well- leaving the door open for sub par trash talking- but My16Bars maintains a high level of quality and features desrving rappers with their own feature page and articles.

Jump Off TV. These guys have done a spectacular job of promoting some of the best freestyle battle rappers out there today. Watching the dynamic duo of Ilmaculate and TheSaurus crush the competion in the past two years has provided hours of entertainment. You find tons of additional battles on their website, or search via YouTube.

For anyone interested in checking out specific battle rappers, I highly suggest (in addition to those already mentioned) Eyedea, DZK, Brother Ali, Wordsworth, Jin, Ras Kass and Kanye West (just kidding). If you get a chance, the bonus Eminem rap battles on 8 Mile (the real freestyle battles, not the movie ones) are worth checking out as well.

For a more in depth consider of what makes a dope rapper I highly suggest Kool Moe Dee's There's a God on the Mic: The 50 Greatest MCs of All TIme. He truly breaks down each rapper by dozens of skill stages, such as songwriting, combat skills, freestyle, showmanship and industriousness affect. It's a great work of rap written by one of greats.

BET has hosted various freestyle rap battles, though its most common is 106 & Park, which features a weekly battle rap at the end of the show. This is where Jin, one of the most respected battle rappers of the decade, got his great break after gaining week after week (though admittedly, his contender wasn't that solid some weeks).

Freestyle rap conflicts get lost some of their popularity reached from the film 8 Mile, but still remain prominent in the underground hip hop view.

The Most Memorable Robin Williams Roles Up To This Point

By Bruce Hunter


This article will discuss the films and career of Robin Williams. Robin Willams got his big start on television, on the hit series Mork & Mindy from 1978 to 1982. After that, he established himself as one of the greatest comedians of his generation. He is an incredibly likable actor and has had some incredible films.

This article will take a look at some of the best Robin Williams films in his career.

Before Big Momma's House and before John Travolta decided to play a lady in the hit film Hairspray, Robin Williams had his iconic performance as the role of Mrs. Doubtfire. This is one of my favorite comedies of the 90s and a great one to watch with the family.

Another film that certainly makes the cut for me is Aladdin. Sure, this is an animated film, but it is definitely one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. Williams voices Genie, which I didn't know until recently.

One movie that has to be included on this list, and is probably my favorite of any on this list, is Good Will Hunting. This movie stars Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver and of course, Robin Williams. Williams won a best supporting actor Oscar for this film, as did Damon and Affleck for best original screenplay.

Another movie that I definitely have to include on this list is Dead Poet's Society. Williams stars as professor John Keating, a teacher who inspires his students to seize the day with their love of poetry. This movie also stars Ethan Hawke.

One other film that I will add to this list is Jumanji. This is one of the better children's films from the early 1990s, and is well worth showing to your kids if they have never seen it before. Night At The Museum would not exist without this movie's inspiration.

Hopefully there are one or more films from Robin Williams on this list which you have not yet seen.

Make Your Own Beats For Free Today

By Erik Mendoza


Binaural bests were first discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. However, Dove didn't realise the full potential of this technology, he merely observed that it occurred. It was another 134 years before Gerald Oster penned an article called "Auditory Beats in the Brain" which was published in Scientific American in 1973.

It was proposed that a binaural beat occurs in the brain if you apply slightly different frequency sine waves independently but simultaneously to each ear. This beat affect is created by the brain itself and is largely due to the structure of the brain's internal wiring.

These binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses, originating in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere of the brain due to the interaction of the two different impulses.The frequency of the two tones is between one and 30 Hz. Lets take the example that the difference between the two tones is 10 Hz. This 10 Hz difference is experienced within the superior olivary nuclei as a beat . The brain has a tendency, through the frequency following response, to resonate at the same frequency as the auditory stimuli being presented. In our example this would be 10 Hz, which is that frequency of the Alpha state. If we offer a binaural frequency of 5 Hz, the brain will begin to resonate with that and produce Theta brainwaves. If we present a binaural beat of 3 Hz, Delta brainwaves are detected. Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwaves are connected to altered states of consciousness that can be used to reprogram the subconscious mind, eliminate negative thought schemas and release emotional connection to memories.

In layman's terms all this means is that you can relax, put on some stereo headphones and let your mind synchronize with the binaural beat frequency to create real measurable changes in your mind and body.

There are immediate benefits of using these beats such as the creation of relaxed states, aided sleep or even energy boosts. However, this is not the limit of binaural beat technology. It is also possible to produce very unusual states of consciousness like lucid dreaming, creativity, out-of-body experiences, and transcendental meditation, to name but a few. However, there are also very real permanent benefits from using binaural beat technology. This technology has been used to create some very dramatic life changes.

The Monroe Institute have over forty years experience changing effects on states of consciousness with the use of binaural beats in their audio sound patterns, called Hemi-Sync. Centerpointe have conducted a lot of research into the use of binaural beats also. They created a program called Holosync which concentrates more on self improvement and achieving a higher level of conscious interaction, by creating desirable emotional, physical and environmental changes through a reduction in your anxiety threshold. They use their technology to reprogram your brain, remove old emotional thinking and negative emotional connection to long buried memories. You can even create your own affirmations later in their course to reprogram your beliefs.

These technologies can be expensive but the overall benefits of there use are immeasurable. However, there are cheap alternatives to both the above mentioned. Binaural beats in audio technology now come in affordable one CD sets. These can be used to instantly create a variety of different states such as sleep, meditation, creativity, lucid dreaming etc. You can also get your hands on software to create your own binaural beats but I believe, when dealing with brain entrainment, this should be left to those with more experience. The technology is fascinating and it works but you really won't know that until you try it yourself.

Great vocal teachers can in addition offer you vocal exercises to train and further develop your voice. A lot of people do not possess the capacity to project their voices and to breathe correctly without extensive training. Those are very vital areas to master, especially for those who want to perform in front of an audience. An effective teacher is going to be in a position to guide your instruction to improve your voice with time.

One of the most essential singing tips can also be the most simple. Basically, if you would like to learn to sing very well, you need to get a lot of practice. That is essentially a very simple suggestion to implement since it is possible to do it pretty much anywhere. You can sing while you do various other tasks, when you drive, as well as in the shower.

Today, you can actually find numerous online lessons and video instructions for learning how to sing over the internet. Many of these include interactive video instructions that contain vocal exercises and strategies to get the most out of your voice and develop it even more. These are a great initial step, however if you really wish to get private instruction, employing an expert instructor can be a good option. Their tutelage will enable you to really blossom simply because they'll have the ability to recognize and fix the flaws in your singing and motivate you in the very best possible direction.

Which Will Ferrell Movies Should You Watch?

By Stephanie Walter


Actor and comedian Will Ferrell has appeared in dozens of films. With so many films, however, some are bound to be better than others. So, for the casual viewer, what are the best Will Ferrell movies?

People from all over the world have celebrated Ferrels special kind of humor. Ferrell got his start in comedy in the performance troupe The Groundlings, then went on to a successful career on Saturday Night Live.

Ferrell has made three movies that focus on childrens themes: Elf, Kicking and Screaming, and Curious George. Though they have their high points, they are generally less interesting for adult viewers. Based on a series of childrens books about a little monkey and his friends, Curious George is the best of Ferrells movies for kids. Elf is also a strong candidate as Ferrells performance as one of Santas elves that leaves the North pole has warmth and charm that has drawn several good reviews.

Ferrell has also starred in a number of adaptations of American television shows. Both Bewitched and Land of the Lost update programs from the small screen. Though Land of the Lost has the bigger budget and more special effects, Bewitched has the cleverer premise.

Ferrells funniest movies draw on his unusual comic vision. Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and Blades of Glory are among Ferrells best work and provide some of his biggest laughs. Ferrells performance as San Diegos top-rated newscaster in Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgundy uses non-sequitur and hyperbole to create fantastic comic moments. Similarly, in Talladega Nights, Ferrell plays against comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in an outrageous parody of NASCARs professional racing circuit. Blades of Glory is a spoof on professional figure skating.

Will Ferrell movies have lots to offer viewers who are willing to sort through his catalog. His best movies are funny and enjoyable.

A Variety Of The Best Acting Performances From The Incredibly Passionate Thespian, Bruce Willis

By Brad Parsons


One actor who always seems to come up in the discussion of great actors of my generation (early to mid nineties was my prime) is Bruce Willis. It is not just my generation however; Bruce Willis continues to churn out excellent high action movies to this day.

So without further ado, here are my favorite Bruce Willis films of all time.

One movie that Bruce Willis starred in and ranks among my all time favorites is Sin City. This Robert Rodriguez directed comic book adaptation of the same name features a bunch of stories taking place within the same city, and it just pure awesomeness.

If you are a fan of science fiction movies, then one film that you must see is Twelve Monkeys. Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt star in this futuristic post apocalyptic thriller, and as always, Bruce Willis delivers big time in this one.

One film that this great actor has starred in that I secretly love, but will never let my guy friends know it, is Armageddon. Sure, its sappy, but the last scene in this movie will get anyone emotional, that's all I will say.

Of course, it goes without saying that a film from the Die Hard series should be mentioned in this list. My personal favorite was Die Hard 3 (With A Vengeance). Maybe it is because the action was the best in my opinion, but there is no wrong answer of the four movies.

One other film of Bruce Willis' that I feel the need to mention is The Fifth Element. This is another one of my favorite science fiction movies of all time, and Willis does a seriously good job in the role of Korben Dallas.

The last film I will mention on this list may come as a surprise to some, but it is none other than Lucky Number Slevin. Sure, it was just a small role, but this movie is just awesome and feel that it deserves a shout out.

The Most Suitable Guitar Size For A Kid - How To Choose?

By Annabelle Henault


The worth of selecting the most suitable design and size guitar for a person who is just beginning to learn how to play a guitar doesn't need to be over-emphasized. Learning how to play on an improper guitar can bring about stress with guitar instructional classes, impede progress and also the development of poor technique. For the reason that guitar instrument is absolutely an easy instrument to be able to learn to play, there is not any grounds for this to occur if a person practices with a correct guitar.

This is a quick, rough guide in picking the right guitar size: For 4 to 6 years old and with height 3'3" to 3'9", a 1 - 4 size acoustic guitar is suitable; for those age 5 to 8, with height 3'10" to 4'5", a 1/2 guitar is perfect; for age 8 to 11, with height 4'6" to 4'11", what's perfect is a 3 4 size acoustic guitar; and lastly for 11-Adult, with height 5' or taller, a 4/4-Size acoustic guitar is ideally suited for. The overall size of the guitar is not enough sign of whether it's the perfect size for the child. The greatest way to determine the true guitar size is by figuring out the scale length of the guitar .

If your child is around the border of , for example, a 3/4 size and 4/4-sized guitar with regards to their age or how tall they are, it might be a good idea to grab the larger acoustic guitar . Naturally, why purchase a smaller acoustic guitar if you'll have to purchase a larger one in a few months or even weeks. A student with long arms may also require a larger acoustic guitar. Even though a student can typically learn to play on an acoustic guitar that's much larger than recommended, it's much easier for a truly young student to take his or her hands around the suitable sized guitar.

The width of the guitar's neck is really not important. It might just confuse things for the beginner, but it's worth reading if you're genuinely searching for the "ideal" guitar instrument. The nut is the guitar part that's joining the guitar's headstock and fretboard. Figuring out the width of the neck at the nut will allow you to assess the guitar fretboard widths of several acoustic guitar instruments. A broader fretboard may help make it easier to finger notes on the guitar strings precisely since the guitar strings are going to be farther apart, but it may also be tougher for small hands to get a grip around the neck.

In the event that your child takes structured exclusive or class coaching, check out the age and size chart and buy a classical, nylon material acoustic string guitar. If perhaps your child would like to play the guitar and learn on their own, purchase a guitar they really want and an acoustic beginner guitar lesson CDs or e-book and show them a lot of support.
