Recently, a friend of mine sent me a letter asking for some help and advice as she tries to learn guitar on her own.

Guitar vs Piano - a Comparison

She is already a classically trained pianist, and so is quite familiar with music, but is struggling with learning to play guitar and, as in the movie “Young Sherlock Holmes”, doesn’t quite understand why it might take her more than a few days to master it. If you are a guitar player yourself, please stop smirking! We all know how hard it is at first, and we all know the secret handshakes, etc., but it’s time to be nice and let new members into our secret club now. Having a piano player is a privilege. She is not a spy here to learn our secrets and then scoot back to the piano player’s club meetings and divulge all our best-kept jewels.

Here’s what you need to know about that guitar playing stuff:Start with chords. Most of the kid’s rock music these days is all played on power chords with only down-stroke picking. There are exceptions, of course. Anyway, try it. Ludovico Einaudi - A Fuoco. Ko Ko - Float. Handcrafted internet radio. 5,000 Free Loops - Drums, Guitar , Orchestra, Heavy Metal, & More.

Ballerinas take over the Big Apple by Dane Shitagi

Originally from Honolulu, he followed his instincts to live the photographic life. Taking inspiration from the sights and sounds of “the city” as well as the energy and diverse arts, Dane has formed a unique and heartfelt body of work that is sooo beautiful and personal. Rather than molding his ideas to the studio set, he has taken his creativity and inspiration from the world outside – preferring the rawness and atmosphere that only a living city like the Big Apple can bring. We loved this project of shooting ballerinas from the New York City Ballet all over the city with a delicate and soft vibe combined to the streets, traffic, landscapes, city sights of NYC as a background!

First Music Video Created Using Real-Time MRI. 22inShare We have seen some works of art created using radiographic equipment before, but nothing that comes close to the amazing video below.

First Music Video Created Using Real-Time MRI

A musician named Sivu had a music video created by director Adam Powell for his song “Better Man Than He” using only MRI images. It looks like real-time MRI techniques have been used to create the video, capturing movement of the vocal system in a single mid-sagittal imaging plane. Real-time MRI is a relatively new technique that allows the live capture of images of moving objects and is being employed to study organs such as the heart, joint kinetics and complicated coordinated movements employed during speaking, swallowing and, as seen here, singing. Shooting the video required Sivu to lay in the scanner while repeatedly singing his song for 2-3 hours.

What It Really Means To Be A Working Musician

This year marks my 10th anniversary of making a living through my music and I couldn’t be happier with how my life has turned out. When I quit my day job in 2001 I had no idea what my life would end up looking like, but I knew that whatever the outcome I’d be happier if I at least tried to build my life around my passion for playing music. From where I sit now, I can’t imagine it turning out any other way! One thing I’ve realized over the years is that most people have no idea what it really means to be a working musician. In the last few days there has been renewed discussion of this topic because of an article NPR wrote about the band Cake, and their dubious distinction of having the lowest-selling #1 record in the 20-year history of calculating record sales (it sold 44,000 copies in one week, FYI, which still seems a staggering number to me!).
