Les 10 solos les plus compliqués à la guitare Un guitar hero ne meurt jamais. Nos cordes sensibles vibrent encore au solo d'anthologie de feu d'Alvin Lee, le guitariste des 10 Years After, décédé le 6 mars, près de 45 ans après Woodstock. Il avait stupéfié le public avec une séquence d'anthologie sur "I'm going home". Pour lui rendre hommage, nous avons sélectionné 10 solos qui ont fait date, et sur lesquels s'escriment encore des générations de guitaristes en herbe. 1/ Jimi Hendrix - "Villanova Junction" Commençons par le diabolique Jimi Hendrix et revenons à Woodstock avec son "Villanova Junction". Note technique : Jimi Hendrix montait les cordes mi, la, ré, sol, si, mi en fonction de cette inversion par rapport à la norme. 2/ Eric Johnson - "Cliff of dovers" Puis allons faire un tour chez Eric Johnson, avec sa très mélodique interprétation de "Cliff of dovers"... 3/ Eddie Van Halen - "Eruption" On monte le son (ou le baisse, c'est selon les voisins) avec "Eruption" d'Eddie Van Halen, maître de solo possédé. Eddie Van Halen - bis !
Walking Shadow | Jason Ratliff I have always loved to watch my shadow as it stretches along the sidewalk or the grass on a bright, sunny day. In this series entitled Walking Shadow, designer and illustrator Jason Ratliff shows us that even a long, dark shadow can be transformed into something more visually interesting, like these bright patterns of stimulating colors. Ratliff combines traditional, detailed illustrations with abstract, mosaic silhouettes. Ratliff says, “I create illustrations with a light dose of whimsy, a mixture of acrylic and ink, and a wide variety of surfaces.” Instagram Quote Rebuttals / Hipster Edits About Hipster Edits (a.k.a. Instagram Quote Rebuttals") are a series of image macros typically designed to ridicule “profound monologue” photos. It consists of a picture, usually taken with Instagram feature and hence the term “Hipster Edit”, an ostensibly meaningful quote and a buzzkilling remark denoted underneath in red text. Origin Artistic photographs with profound quotes have been circulating online prior to emergence of this series, most notably through online art communities and blog platforms like LiveJournal and DeviantArt. Self-uploaded vanity shots of emo, hardcore and hipster youths have been a staple subject of internet humor since the late 2000s, further boosted by the launch of Tumblr blog “Look At This Fucking Hipster” and Demotivational Posters. Spread On January 1st, 2011, MemeBase’s Go Cry Emo Kid posted an instagram photo of a crowd hanging out in an empty pool with the rebuttal highlighted in red text.

ABC Classic 2 The music that shaped…Cate Blanchett “It’s a bit like love-making, you can’t think about the climax you have to just start at the beginning.” Ethereal Australian actress and former Artistic co-Director of the Sydney Theatre Company joined ABC Classic FM’s Margaret Throsby to talk about the music that has influenced her work, ‘third-eye’ acting, and preparing for the stage.

Two Suns? Twin Stars Could Be Visible From Earth By 2012 By Dean Praetorius | HuffingtonPost.com Earth could be getting a second sun, at least temporarily. Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to news.com.au. Betelgeuse, one of the night sky’s brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we’d see a second sun, Carter says. The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer. But doomsday sayers should be careful about speculation on this one. In fact, a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth. UPDATE: To clarify, the news.com.au article does not say a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth, but implies a supernova could be beneficial, stating, "Far from being a sign of the apocalypse, according to Dr Carter the supernova will provide Earth with elements necessary for survival and continuity." UPDATE II: In a follow-up piece on news.com.au, Dr. Top Image: Source
