ASIA Latin Quartier 23rd November 1989 Music Poster

Guitar and Rock music are inseparable and probably one of the main reasons for this is that most rock numbers or compositions have short or prolonger lead guitar solos. The lead guitar solos can be mastered by using different scales and guitar improvisation techniques like hybrid picking and legato technique.

There is such a huge variety of guitar improvisation techniques available that you can practice solos all your life and yet not find the end. It is infinite! One such guitar improvisation technique is called hybrid picking. Hybrid picking can add an absolutely new dimension to the sound that is rendered by your lead guitar. This is a type of guitar improvisation technique that is most commonly used by guitarists in music genres or styles like blues, rock, country, bluegrass, and even jazz. One of guitar legends who has used hybrid picking very effectively is Stevie Ray Vaughan. He used it for rendering a solo in Lenny Here's a small exercise in hybrid picking that you can try:

e-0--0--0--0--0--0-

b--1--1--1--1--1---

g------------------

d------------------

a------------------

E-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-

You can increase the speed as you become comfortable with the above and move on to this:

e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-

b----------------------

g----------------------

d-2-3-0-0-0-2-3-/5-5-0-

a----------------------

E----------------------

Hybrid picking is a guitar improvisation technique where you pick the guitar strings or chords using the fingers as well as the pick at the same time. The advantage is that you will be able to use your plectrum to play lead guitar that normally requires the fingerstyle mode of playing.

You will also be able to make wide string leaps like you can leap from the 5th string right to the 1st string, which can be quite a difficult exercise otherwise. To effectively use the hybrid picking guitar improvisation technique, you will need to your pick between your forefinger and thumb.

Legato Technique

The legato technique is another effective guitar improvisation technique that renders slurred notes quite similar to the notes rendered through hammer-on's and pull-offs. Here is a small exercise that includes some kick ass legato licks:

e-----------5--7--8--7--5----------

b---------------------------8------

g----------------------------------

d----------------------------------

a----------------------------------

e----------------------------------

Legato guitar improvisation technique has been effectively used for solo performance by the likes of Joe Satriani, Alan Holdsworth, and Steve Vai. The above notes that form the legato technique will require you to hammer the notes without picking. You should ideally play this at 60bpm.

Melting Pot Roast

How many times have you been driving in your car listening to the radio or hanging out at home playing your favorite cd's and a song comes on and all of a sudden as if you were in a time machine, you find yourself in the past walking on a very familiar beach with a girl you were once deeply in love with or you were at home listening to your stereo and your mom comes in and tells you how proud she is of you.

It does not have to be music that makes you reminisce and it does not necessarily have to be only good news that you remember. One of the most tragic days in my life is brought vividly back to life every time I watch an old black and white movie. The movie is "The Maltese Falcon" starring the great actor Humphrey Bogart. It was on November 22, 1963 at 1:30 P.M. EST when my tragedy occurred. I happened to be home from school with the flu watching "The Maltese Falcon" when the movie was interrupted by a special news report: President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Now, whenever I watch "The Maltese Falcon", it brings back all of the different emotions that I felt on that tragic day as if I was lying on the sofa watching TV back in 1963.

Music and Movie Posters Are Catalysts To Memories

Much like music and movies, movie posters and music posters can trigger past memories also. There have been times when I have seen music posters of musical artists or bands that sang songs that would bring back memories for me. The same can be said about movie posters. I have seen movie posters that would play a rerun of the movie in my head which in turn would trigger a fond, unhappy or bittersweet memory. So, you do not necessarily have to actually hear a song or watch a movie to bring about memories. A music poster or a movie poster can also be a catalyst for your memories and that is probably the reason that they have kept their immense popularity throughout the decades.

30 Exitos Insuperables

Customer Review: Excellent album
I think this is a great starter album for those who may not have heard Paloma San Basilio. She has a wonderful voice, and can sing anything from dance to sultry formats.

Good exercise music has a way of putting us into a rhythm where we tend to forget about time. If you have carefully

selected your workout music you will find yourself looking forward to your workout. Music has a way of stimulating us physically and emotionally. This stimulation can be perfect motivation to help you with your workout.

But..

If you just listen to just anything it may be a little difficult to reap the full benefits of what the
right music can do for your workout so that is why you need to listen to some music with some beats that keep an even count, so you probably don't want to listen to Ina-Gadda-Da-Vida By: Iron Butterfly or for you younger kids Hey Mama by: the Black Eyed Peas. Just because the rhythm is not even and steady to keep and even repetition pace. Besides when you get home their will be plenty of time to practice your harlem shake but for now you need to grow.

What is the best workout music? a specific exercise mix. You can purchase music to exercise to relatively inexpensively.

A good exercise mix will maintain steady beats while the original recording may slow or quicken at times that will disturb the flow of your workout. Once you get a good feel for what it sounds like, you could probably go about downloading your own C.D. of your choice.

I know not listening to the music that you download might be a pain because you like the music you have, obviously you want to listen to it! I tried it out for a while and listened to a friends and it worked so well I just downloaded songs that sounded close to the songs that I heard. It ended up working out well I had more energy and I stayed and worked out longer and did not rush through my exercise.

This is a helpful tip that I know has worked for people in the past. Steady techno, beats that can keep you more focused and in rhythm with your workout. Now most guys do not want to listen to techno because you are afraid your buddy 's going to catch you and ask if you want to glow stick dance. This is a good thing to at least try out if you embrace it oddly enough it works.

Well I hope this little bit can help you out when you need just a little boost. For some solid knowledgeable entertaining articles about weightlifting for beginners to intermediate on just about anything that has to do with lifting weights check us out !! Thanks for reading.

Customer Review: Great Songs!
I teach preschool and the kids love these songs! I really like that each song has hand gestures to do along which keeps the kids engaged on the song. I also ordered the CD soundtrack which makes it easier for me to memorize songs and the kids love to sing along with it.
Customer Review: high quality music comes from our roots
I have used this CD for about 7 years as part of my prekinder bilingual curriculum, and it has been very successful with my students. Also, I know it is quality children's folk music because I have studied in detail children's folk music from Mexico, and most of these selections are easily validated as original folk music. You can be sure they are not contrived at all by adults for children. I recommend the book that goest with it, too.

Def Jam Recordings - EMBROIDERED LOGO Hoodie , Burgundy

Def Jam was founded by Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin in Rubin's dorm room at New York University. The first releases on Def Jam Recordings were LL Cool J's I Need A Beat and the Beastie Boys' Rock Hard, both in 1984. The singles sold well, eventually lea

The emergence of hip-hop in the early 70's produced four elements, which continue to be mainstays of the genre: disc jockeying or a DJ, break dancing, emceeing or an MC, and graffiti art. How prominent are these elements today and how were they represented during BET's first annual hip-hop awards in Atlanta? Upon acceptance of the "I Am Hip-Hop Icon Award," rap pioneer, Grandmaster Flash paid homage to a host of DJs. According to Flash, DJ's were once the gatekeepers between the record labels and the streets. In 1996, thriving regional radio stations that reflected a community's heart and soul were replaced by media conglomerates with syndicated play lists. Followed by a myriad of changes in music distribution and leadership at radio stations and record labels, the fire that fueled hip-hop's reputation began to fade. To maintain integrity, Flash encouraged a shifting to the way things use to be--where new music was received and circulated by the DJs. Knowing that DJs spend all of their time in tune with the streets via clubs and parties, Flash commented, "It makes sense that [DJs] break a record." Flash also admonished MCs to allow DJs to perform on stage. "The template was designed for DJs to play a part," he said. Embodying the original template, Atlanta's DJ Drama, was among several DJs who held it down on stage alongside notable MCs. Even though break dancing and poppin' are nostalgic forms of hip-hop both are visible in varying forms of dances including the Bay Area's hyphy. Newer dances that help hip-hop maintain its hype include snap, shoulder lean, motorcycle, and chicken noodle soup. DJ Unk and the Big Oomp Camp showed attendees just how easy it was to walk-it-out in sync. While MCs abound in every corner of the globe, talent comparable to the innovators who dominated the 80's and 90's is hard to come by. As hip-hop aficionados anticipate "the new," music executives search desperately for the one or ones who will carry the hip-hop torch to the next phase. Invariably, advances in technology and a shortage of lyricists who have solid albums have caused a noticeable erosion of hip-hop's staying power.

For the past six years, hip-hop was the top-selling genre over R&B and country music and was second only to rock music. This year's lack-luster Billboard ratings are a warning sign of the genre's potential to slow to a lull until new life respires. Pending change, BET Hip-Hop award recipient, Common is the current standard for aspiring lyricists. Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Lupe Fiasco, and T.I. are among his peers. Graffiti art was once an economic menace to society. For years, buildings, buses, trains, sidewalks, etc., were regular targets for unwanted and unappreciated artist tags. Today, graffiti art is perhaps the most embraced aspect of the hip-hop culture. New canvases of the profitable, permanent, and mobile enterprise now include skin (by way of tattoos), clothing, and vehicle wraps. Among the many artists profiling their "tag" or some else's during the awards were The Game, Nelly, Jim Jones, Chamillionaire, T.I., and Juelz Santana. As it relates to the four elements of hip-hop, BET's hip-hop award show recognized exceptional work and contribution to the hip-hop genre by acknowledging the Producer of the Year, Lyricist of the Year, Hip-Hop Dance of the Year, and Director of the Year.

Por el Mundo

Customer Review: POR EL MUNDO IS A GREAT CD!
What can I say I LOVE THIS CD! But whats so good about it well number 1 I love the lead singers voice (Jose Guadalupe). To me he has a voice to kill for but thats just my opinion you might think diferently. But as far as i'm concerned i think this is a super album to buy cause every song on here is so good my personal favorite well... it would have to be number 3 (Aqui No Mas.) I just love that song I can not explain the feeling I get when I hear this song it makes me feel so good inside not to metion like I want to dance. but the song (Espinas) is good to hey there all good thats why I think you should buy this cd you will love it if you like banda musica like I do. Look i'm going to be honest with you I would never tell someone to buy a cd I never herd or thought was not a good cd to buy thats how I am but everybody has different taste in musica so u may like it may not but I know I love it and i'm so glad i bought it I would never get rid of it. Even though it is an old album of theres I still listen to it to this day thats how much I love this cd it was one of the best investments i ever made. I am a musica freak and I love mexican musica and and if you do to buy this cd.

A single snowflake glistens and swirls past a row of crystaline icicles then lands gently on a blanket of lovely white powder. The air is warm and dry in my cozy music room as I sip rich hot chocolate and sigh at the calm beauty outside my window.

Ahhh, Canada in Winter.

TWANG! Fizzzle. SPROING!! Snap. Thud.

My violin, resting on my desk, is exploding! A peg slips, the D-string unwinds. The other three pegs follow suit thus all four strings sag pathetically. The sudden lack of tension simultaneously causes the bridge to fall off to the floor and the sound post to collapse inside the instrument. In only an instant my violin went from an expensive piece of art to an expensive train wreck.

(Expletives courteously deleted for your reading enjoyment).

Suffice to say, Winter's not so pretty anymore for this violinist.

When the temperature drops to below freezing, as it inevitably does in Canada each winter, there is zero moisture content, or humidity, in the air. This extreme lack of humidity, which is responsible for chapped lips and unmanagable, frizzy hair, also causes wood to dry out. This is all fine and dandy if you're curing firewood for a romantic blaze by the fireplace, but it's murder on violins.

As violins are made almost entirely of wood they are very susceptible to dry air. This is because wood is full of tiny pod-shaped pockets which serve the purpose of storing water for the living tree. As the cut wood ages, it naturally dries and shrinks. Older violins which have had time to dry out or new violins made with old, cured wood do sound better because these pockets are not dense with water but now dried out and the dry spaces create a more resonant tone.

The problem arises when there are sudden changes in humidity. As the air dries rapidly, the tiny moisture pockets are emptied of water, causing the wood to shrink a tiny bit. But when it becomes suddenly dry the wood shrinks so rapidly as to cause potential damage to the instrument.

Exploding Fiddles

The classic violinist's winter dilemma of the instrument seemingly "exploding" apart. This is caused when the wooden pegs which hold the strings shrink and become loose inside their wooden hole, which has also shrunk away from the peg. The enormous amount of tension the strings pulling at the loose peg in a bigger hole causes the peg to spin, instantly unwinding the string until it has no tension.

As one string loosens, the pressure has become higher on the remaining three strings. These then loosen and unwind under the sudden increase in pressure. Soon enough all strings have become floppy and the bridge and soundpost, without any pressure to hold them in place, will fall. Sometimes the pegs will even fall out of the peg box or shoot across the room from the quick unwinding.

This is the violinist's cue to swear loudly.

Even more horrifying yet is when the violin's top plate, or belly, shrinks too far inward yet the saddle, or piece of wood inlayed inside it and against the grain, does not give. The shrinking wood will strain under the pressure and a grain crack can occur. This "saddle crack" can spread as far as your soundpost, which can affect your instrument's tone. They can be repaired, naturally, but it's not cheap and may affect the value of the instrument. Of course a violinist's first course of action is to shout a few crude words.

It's never a pretty site to open your violin case to find it stringless with a post rattling loose inside the instrument, but thankfully you can avoid it. Start by keeping your violin warm. Take your violin into the supermarket rather than leave it in the trunk of your vehicle, even if only for an hour. Wrapping your instrument in a scarf or covering it with a case blanket adds an extra layer of insulation and also helps keep it protected. Even better is to purchase a case cover or a good quality case with extra padding or insulation.

Dry Wood

Then comes the issue of dryness. Players with older violins, violins with cracks or instruments with more likeliness to crack are encouraged to use a violin humidifier. The best kind is the type which inserts into the violin's f-hole. Referred to as a "Dampit," the device is simply a long sponge inside a rubber tube. The moisture is slowly released into the body of the violin and keeps the air moist but not wet.

A drawback to the dampit is that the player must remember to re-wet it every couple of days or so to be effective. Most Guarneri-style violins' f-holes are too narrow to accommodate the tubes, so this solution is limited to Strad copies and other instruments with a larger opening. It also does not keep the pegs from slipping while you play, but is effective in protecting the entire instrument while in storage.

Humidifiers which stay in a case are a good idea for players who are keeping the instrument in storage. The drawback to these is the moment you open the case you have released the moisture. As it is, the best place to keep a violin during winter is in the case unless your home is temperature and humidity controlled.

The poor-man's case humidifier is an apple or potato slice wrapped loosely in a sandwich bag and kept in the case. (Just change it every so often so it doesn't rot and stink up your fiddle...)

Resist the temptation to run out and purchase a huge room humidifier for your fiddle. I've seen violin collectors over-do it and the violins have become swollen and nearly moldy with extra moisture. A couple house plants (spider plants are great) create enough moisture in a room to it ideal for a violin and are just a good idea for air quality in general.

As for heat sources, try not to leave your violin in a room with a wood stove or fireplace. Heat sources will speed up the drying and are bad for varnish as well. Most players leave their violin in the bedroom where temperature is more likely to remain constant 24-hours a day.

If your pegs continue to slip there are a few final things to consider. Perhaps they need to be wedged further into the pegbox during cold months and pulled out a tad during the rainy season when the wood expands. Some pegs need a little extra help with "peg dope." (Really, I'm not making this stuff up). "Peg dope" is a compound which holds a grip and stops slippage in pegs. Ground up rosin powder around the pegs does the trick for some old-time fiddlers, but is sticky and not great in the long term.

When all else fails your violin may need the help of a luthier. If your pegs are misshapen they will not stay fixed in the pegbox and will need to be properly fitted. Older violins' pegbox holes can be ground until they are too large to fit the pegs snugly and would have to be re-bushed, or carefully filled in and re-drilled. Re-bushing is expensive, so pray a bit of peg dope will do the trick.

With some planning you can avoid the worst-case scenario of a cracked violin or one which has come apart due to pegs slipping. Unfortunately everyone seems to have to tune their violins more often in winter. It's just a part of life. Just take your time when you tune your instrument using the pegs as over tightening the pegs is the number one cause of string breaks.

Broken Strings

I can always tell when there's a big change in temperature by how many E-strings I sell in a week! The more strings go out of tune, the more likelihood they will be broken by inexperienced players. Invest in an electronic chromatic tuner and pay attention to the pitch by strumming the string as you tighten it. As long as you don't go above pitch your strings will last all year long.

And remember, even the worst damage to a violin can be fixed. Even the aforementioned predicament is easily overcome by a trip to the violin doctor to reset the soundpost and isn't the end of the world (just a pain in the butt). Try not to get neurotic about your fiddle and spend the time instead making music. If you ever need advice or a repair I'm happy to assist you at info@fiddleheads.ca.

Keep warm, keep in tune and enjoy the winter.

After you learn chord charts it will be a lot easier for you to understand scale charts, however it is not essential that you know how to read a chord chart to learn to use scale charts. The main difference is that a scale chart has more notes per string and the notes on the chart are not played all at once like a chord.

Scales

The easiest scale to play would be the chromatic scale. Some consider the chromatic scale more of an exercise than a real scale but it is important to know because it contains all the possible notes of the guitar. The next scales you will learn are the major and minor scales. Both the major and minor scales have 8 notes in them before they start to repeat the pattern. Another great thing about scales on the guitar is that all the scale types have the same pattern. That means once you know one major scale you know all 12, or once you know one minor scale you know all 12.

Scale Charts

Scale charts are very similar looking to chord charts. At the top there is the name of the scale, such as A Major or B Minor. Below that there is the same grid as a chord chart. This grid represents the neck of the guitar. Vertical lines show the strings from left to right, E, A, D, G, B, e. The horizontal lines show the frets of the guitar with the top line being closest to the nut of the guitar. The black dots show what notes are in the scale. Like a chord chart the black dots show where to put your fingers. But since most people don't have 8 or 16 finger you have to play one note at a time starting with the root note or the note on the E string (far left line) on top of the other note of that string. This is the lowest tone of the scale.

The root note of the scale is the note that is used to name the scale. If the scale starts on an A note and follows the major scale pattern after that then it is the A major scale. The root note can also be used to show where the scale pattern repeats if more than one octave is being played. The root note on a scale chart is usually shown by an outlined circle or a circle with an R in the middle. Think of the root note as the starting note of the scale.

After you learn the major and minor scale patterns you can play any of the 12 scales of that scale type. Just take the major scale, say C major, and move each note up one fret, now you have the Db major scale. You can do this with all of the scale on the guitar, but be careful when you get to playing the open strings near the nut of the guitar, make sure you are playing the correct scale pattern because they can change when you start adding in open strings.

Sonic Foundry Acid 2.0 Latin

Greece has been responsible for framing civilization, as we know it today. If it were not for the ancient Greeks, their love for art, aesthetics, and fine living, as well as their profound mythology, humanity would probably never have been able to define culture. Greece is the inspiration behind much of modern language, beliefs, art, and architecture.

Greece has a long, rich history, which has given birth to a varied culture that continues to evolve to this day. The country?s geography left it isolated for much of its earlier existence. The distinctive Mediterranean climate has also contributed to the development of its culture and provided a unique setting for the rise of several great people. Greece was successively occupied by the Persians, the Romans, and the Turks, each leaving an imprint of its civilization on Greece. Greece has been at the center of global development and its customs and traditions are symbolic of the world as a whole.

The most significant aspect of Greek culture is its language. Modern English derives its roots, the script of its alphabet and its pronunciation key from Greek. Much of the dialects spoken in the country have been influenced by Latin, Arabic, and Spanish. Greek writers such as Homer, Aristotle, and Sappho continue to mold modern schools of philosophy and thought. Greek music and dance are vibrant and colorful representations of the region?s culture. The music varies tremendously from local folksongs to the Gregorian chants of the Greek Orthodox Church. The most popular type of music is the ?Laikimusiki?, which is comprised of ballads sung to traditional instruments like the ?Bouzoukis' (a small guitar). The Greek believe that people who can dance are gifts from the Gods and dance is a very essential component of Greek life. Traditional folklore forms have been blended with modern dramatization to give rise to dances such as Zorba and Greek dance-dramas called Chlorodrama.

Greek festivals are derived from a variety of sources from ancient traditions as well as modern Catholic influences. Carnivals and feasts are held to commemorate various saints and sanctified pagan deities. Amongst the modern celebrations, the most popular is the Rockwave Fest, which is a platform for all types of alternative music and theatre.
