Premierguitar. Eastwood Airline Baritone Review by premierguitar Hang around guitars long enough, and you’ll encounter an oddball axe that remains forever burned in your memory. I’ll never forget the first time I came across a map-shaped National Newport. I was working in a guitar shop in the early ’90s, and there it was, hanging on the wall, sticking out like a sore thumb among the Fender- and Gibson-inspired electrics.

The body vaguely resembled a map of the United States. It was made out of a fiberglass that the company called “Res-O-Glass” and had knobs and switches that seemed to have been taken straight from an Edsel. It was priced under $500, and I should have bought it when I had the chance. Original map guitars were made by Valco, who sold them through Montgomery Ward. Chords have a lush, deep, and overtone-rich quality—especially when employing open strings—that’s impossible to duplicate ona standard guitar. But there’s more to the Map Baritone than its appearance. Ratings Tones: Playability: Top 50 Acoustic Guitar Songs with Tab - The FGV Guitar Blog.

Guitar Player just did a list of the Top 50 Classic Acoustic Rock Songs. Unfortunately, it was hidden in an annoying slide show and didn’t actually teach you how to play any of the songs. We have the full list below along with a link to the best video lesson/tabs/chords we could find for each song. Some are beginner level and easy to play and sing along with friends, some feature iconic acoustic guitar licks, some use fingerpicking, but mainly they are fun to play.

NASA Posts a Huge Library of Space Sounds, And You're Free To Use Them. Space is the place. Again. And SoundCloud is now a place you can find sounds from the US government space agency, NASA. In addition to the requisite vocal clips (“Houston, we’ve had a problem” and “The Eagle has landed”), you get a lot more. There are rocket sounds, the chirps of satellites and equipment, lightning on Jupiter, interstellar plasma and radio emissions. And in one nod to humanity, and not just American humanity, there’s the Soviet satellite Sputnik (among many projects that are international in nature). Many of these sounds were available before; I’ve actually used a number of them in my own music. But putting them on SoundCloud makes them much easier to browse and find, and there are download links.

Another thing: you’re free to use all of these sounds as you wish, because NASA’s own audio isn’t copyrighted. Let the space remixing begin. European Space Agency, your move.

Maratone. 100 Years of Rock Visualized. Silent Lions - Stolen In The Heat Of The Moment. Fervent instrumentation meets a heart bewitched, making for an urgent explosion of psych-drenched garage rock -- 100% emotion, 100% libido -- it's so much of what it is, you couldn't call it anything other than "fucking rock and roll," mate.

From the basements of Ohio to the streets of Detroit, the Silent Lions have been on a steady climb ever since we debuted them on the Shuffle with "Never Gonna See You Again. " With their latest single, "Stolen In The Heat Of the Moment," they've surely lost themselves to the music. Enlisting Zach Shipps again for production, this is their first single off their forthcoming album, and the duo gave Indie Shuffle a first listen. Space Music - Shrooms.

CARTOONS!

¿Quiénes son los 10 más grandes compositores de música clásica? Sí, sabemos que cualquier listado es, esencialmente, subjetivo. Cualquier top 10 con el que nos encontramos, cualquier lista con los mejores discos, los mejores futbolistas, las mejores películas, incluso cuando la selección se realiza de acuerdo con criterios “justificados”, a fin de cuentas va a proyectar la subjetividad de un individuo (o un grupo). Y obviamente esta no es la excepción. Pero, por otro lado, Anthony Tomassini, crítico de música clásica el New York Times, tiene amplios conocimientos en esta materia y, al vivir de ello, sin duda habrá refinado su criterio al exponerse cotidianamente a nuevas y viejas composiciones, interpretadas por decenas de orquestas bajo la batuta de múltiples directores. “Si tratas de compilar una lista de los 10 más grandes compositores de la historia, ¿cómo procederías? 10- Béla Bartók (1881-1945) “Enseñó otro camino, una amalgama de tonalidad, escalas poco ortodoxas y maravillas atonales”.

The Miraculous Mandarin (Suite) by NYOC. Audiotool. The Zen of Ear Training – Part 2. By Evan Kepner In the last lesson we covered a few different strategies for starting to train your ears. This included singing with your instrument, singing over a drone, and singing intervals in all the keys. Now we’re going to take it a few steps further and work to really develop our ears ability to pick out notes and relationships.

Remember that these exercises take time – developing your ears is a long process. I would practice the exercises from the first lesson and this lesson over the next several months and you’ll start to see development. It’s not a forced thing, more of a gradual opening of your ears. By this point it should go without saying that each exercise should be done in every key. Exercise 1: We’re going to expand from last week’s “singing a scale” exercise to singing the different modes. This is important because it set you up to hear outside of the normal scalar patterns.

Exercise 2: Again with the modal-singing, but this time do it as arpeggios. Exercise 3: SoundCloud Downloader. 5,000 Free Loops – Drums, Guitar , Orchestra, Heavy Metal, & More - Hip Hop Makers.
